I saw these two trees while on vacation last year.  I was at Scott's Bluff National Monument in Nebraska on a walk along a trail.  The shape of these trees reminded me of people bowing, one with their arms thrown back and the other just bending at the waist.  I actually thought of a title for this one, Take A Bow.  They were a couple of very old Cedars that the wind had been affecting for years and had finally taken it's toll on.

Another chilly clear morning we had today.  My image goes back a bit to a warm day in Nebraska at Scotts Bluff National Monument. Scotts Bluff is a landmark on the Oregon Trail and I walked a tiny bit of it while there. I photographed this gnarly old tree standing sentinel on one of the bluffs there.  I loved the shape of it against the rocks.

Wow it was lovely and cool this morning, I did not want to get out of bed!  :-)  Today's image is best viewed large by clicking on it.  It is a 5 frame panoramic image that I shot of Scottsbluff National Monument.  This is taken on the road heading to the park.  The actual bluff is in from the point on the right.  It was a lovely area and we had a nice time hiking a couple of days.  The second day we hiked a bit of the Oregon Trail that goes through the park.  You could still see remnants of it.  I took photos but it's hard to get across in an image.
