bristlecone

A quick one before I get back on the road. This was trying to work the sun, maybe too much, but it was fun. All comments welcome, Jim

It's amazing how these Bristlecone Pines survive, and survive for so long in such a harsh environment. From the moment I saw this with those clouds I had thought B&W. I don't think I even have a color version except for the raw image. All comments are welcome, Jim

One Bristlecone Pine stands on watch while the others sleep! Or at least that's what it feels like. From the Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains in California. Jim
