When I came across this tree, the fruit glinting in the darkness reminded me of one of those Old Master fruit paintings.

Was a bit bored stuck at home so thought I'd make use of the macro lens for once. A short trip to the garden, so not so wild.
Eleventh in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is fifty-four inches (137cm) in height and perhaps 400 years old.
Wild Bonsai is a numbered collection of photos of naturally occurring bristlecones (p. longaeva) generally less than five feet in height (158cm) and - as nearly as I can estimate - between fifty and five-hundred years old - some much older. Most will have sprouted and survived in tiny cracks and crevases or miniature basins of sand and gravel. Shaped by the elements, flourishing tenaciously in the most minimalist of conditions, their lives are measured not in the millennia of more robust bristlecones, but in centuries...often mere decades.
Duality, the cover photo for this album, is to me a matriarch of sorts and will remain unnumbered as a small token of a deeply intuitive and unapologetic respect that remains as transcendent and mysterious to me as it may seem odd to others. The essay that accompanies 'Duality' could, in many ways, apply as well to any other tree I may post in this series.
A perspective: Housed in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the fifth oldest living cultivated bonsai in the world is something over 500 years old and is a designated National Treasure of Japan.
The Wild Pacific Trail through Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island is stunning every which way you turn.
Some wild clouds form over Mammoth Lakes Airport off Highway 395. It's great to see some high level clouds mix with the low level cumulus clouds. Shot using a polarizer filter.
Sixth in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is twenty-two inches (56cm) in height and perhaps 300 years old.

Sandwood Bay up in the very north west corner of Scotland. Cape Wrath is the last headland in the distance.
Not the Bourbon. All the years I've been to Tifft, I have never come across a turkey there before. Wondering if new resident there since this year or just got lucky to see one. I have seen many more wild turkeys this year than in years past around here. Real close to my house have seen a family of about 15 every morning on way to work.
