Where was I?
The large trees on the shore of this small shallow lake, one of many such lakes in the area, are Plains cottonwoods. Note they have green leaves in October. And the wind isn't blowing, just a light breeze. Obviously I wasn't home in Laramie, Wyoming.While trying for artistic shots of gnarled bark, I noticed a small green ash tree growing out of a cavity in the trunk of a cottonwood.
Clue on the horizon.
View from the top: trees galore, prairie in the distance.
This particular state quadrant was the destination of a recent trip. Blog posts to follow.This is my contribution to the December gathering of tree followers, kindly hosted by The Squirrelbasket. More posts here. With no news about my tree (it's winter in Laramie), I'm reporting on trees elsewhere.
