My previous three posts describe the amazing attraction of this tree in the Bear River Range of southeastern Idaho. I have heard it called the Mail Tree, Pony Express Tree, and Keebler Elf Tree. The wildlife sign is located on this side and the mail hole on the opposite side. I wonder what other stories and legends are out there?

A huge tree had been torn from its mooring and tossed on the beach at Cape Lookout State Park by a storm.
This shot is at 102mm and is an in camera 9 focus stacked shots, at sunrise, later compiled with Helicon Focus.
Each shot was underexposed by about 1 stop
This one I masked all the trees and rflections of trees, removed all the blue and replaced it with black. I then converted it BW
Taken at Murray river National Park, Lyrup section.
Here is some information, from SA State Libtrary, on how Lyrup township may have got its name.
The back drop covered in clouds is Humphreys Peak (tallest mountain in Arizona)...catching my eye was this dead tree standing very tall. See more here: www.facebook.com/SteveBondPhotography

Low water levels in the reservoir have revealed many more of the broken off stumps of flooded trees.
Even after this tree has live it's life, it still stands to remind us of what it was. Still beautiful after death. Please keep our trees healthy. we need them to survive.
We hiked down the South Kaibab Trail to Cedar Ridge in the Grand Canyon just before sunset with a sky of blue and scattered storms.

I'm not sure this fits the category, but I'm pleased when I have an idea in my head and I finally get it to work. It took parts of five images to get here, but I think I like it. Tomorrow, I may hate it....maybe it's the antihistamines messing with my head.

A change of pace from my usual piers and city scapes. This is a place I used to visit with my camera a few years ago. I've always been drawn to this dead tree. The tortured shape reminds me of the Disney Classic - Fantasia.
It's a roundabout story as to why I visited this tree last night. I was actually feeling a little down after cutting down my favourite tree in my front garden. Sadly, extreme winds this month, and its vast size were too much. It split in half during a storm last month and the wind last weekend felled another huge limb. I was left with two options, let it fall on my neighbour's house, or cut it down. As I stood in my garden, pondering the remaining stump, I thought of this old dead tree. It seemed fitting that I'd visit again with my camera.
A gnarly old tree stands in silhouette against the rising sun at the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refiuge, our national park in central Michigan, June, 2026.
Thanks to SolStock and Tim Jones for the great textures.

I was looking at the daffodils starting to bloom. This cardinal was just sitting there. He may still be there for all I know. :-)
I was driving back after a work travel on an old trunk road when I noticed a small walkway exit leading to a small river. The photographer in me excitedly whispered on my ears, “emm, I must explore this place!!” while the composed me said “the path is too small & I don’t think my car can pass this. Don’t know what else is ‘waiting’ for me there!!”.
Well you guessed it right, the photographer in me won & I decided to drive in despite the terrible condition of the walkway.
It was around 12 pm & it was blaring hot.. No one was around (obviously, don’t think there are many mad ppl like me around!! ) & I could have heard a pin’s drop there!! It was so quiet & calm!! I loved the place immediately…beautiful unpolluted small river running freely… beautiful wild plants waving & playing with the wind joyfully!!!
Then, I turned to my right & stopped ‘dead’! I saw an eerily strange tree.. a pair actually, but looks like one!! It’s a dead one but look uniquely alive…immediately I had goosebumps….( It was scary!!!! No one was around!!! Hello??)
Not even one dry leaf were left & what actually took me by awe is the branches (I think so it’s the branches!! Cant be anything else..) They were terribly entwined & messed up you can’t make the head or tail out of it!!
As I was standing there flabbergasted & intently studying the branches, my gaze fell on another tree opposite it…this one was much alive & healthy & in fact, beautiful!! Then my eyes caught something beneath the tree & my heart ‘stopped’ for a split second!! My mind registered that ‘something’ as a small figure standing beneath the tree… a child dressed in a long white greyish dress!!!! Goosebumps were gone & I went blank….I turned to the other side & stood there in panic not knowing what to think or do! I forced a turn on my head to give it a second look..I had too right?
& phewww!!! its now looking more like stone or a big stick or even a tombstone. My eyes & wild imagination just played its trick on me & ‘jacked’ me!! Argghhh…
Cooling down again.. I said to myself, ‘This make better sense’!!!
I then quickly clicked as much as possible of the ‘messed up unique’ tree & the place before hurriedly walking back to my car…
You guessed it right again, I did not go near the other spooky tree to have a closer look at the ‘whatever thing’ that scarred the hell out of me a moment ago…
Perhaps a larger view of the picture will let me know…I still haven’t.. Any helpers? Hehe!!
P/s: Pardon me for the long story, just wanted to share this silly ‘supernatural’ encounter of mine with you folks!!
& yeah, just make sure that nothing pops out from this picture in your pc, while you are intently looking at these ‘messed up’ trees trying to figure out which branch is which tree’s!! hehehe…
……Dead trees still standing, these took my eye as they appeared to be glowing against the dark fell side……
