a kind! Thanks for sharing!

A brizillion years ago, when I was young and stupid, I was camping in the snow up on Telescope Peak above Death Valley. I built a fire on the snow and had a grand time. Come early, early morning I discovered I had TWO fires about eight feet apart; I built a fire directly above a buried fallen Bristlecone Pine. Never again, and I'm glad I'm not nearly as young and stupid as I used to be!

Thank you for sharing.

That looks like some surreal science fiction/fantasy painting.

Bristlecones grow in some of most inhospitable places, yet grow they do.... for millennia. Beautiful photograph. Thanks so much. I hope you get both of your wishes.

Somehow these magnificent creatures have survived not only time but also serious climatic changes.

I rarely comment on your posts but always click on your name and never have been disappointed.

Thank you

That must be the White Mtns Patriarch Grove. Is that a recent photo? If it is, I'm surprised the road is passable already, especially with the winter we had this year.

Thanks

yet laying down while quite healthy.

Thank you for sharing.

on my way up to Mt. Evans in Colorado.

Cool!

Would also love to visit one day.

You have captured the beauty and dignity of an ancient spiritual power. Amazing photo.

What an amazing hike that must have been.

Thanks!
