May 09/08This solid, enduring Spruce tree,
has tufts of lichen attached
to its rough bark and a small friend
peering out at me. In the background
a slender Poplar stands with its smoother
bark and characteristic markings.
May 12/08I pass by these "Painted" Poplars
almost every day
May 16/08
New leaves emerge
almost every day
May 16/08New leaves emerge
from this Cottonwood's trunk
expressing continued growth
May 25/08
Deeply furrowed bark
expressing continued growth
May 25/08Deeply furrowed bark
of a grandfather Cottonwood tree
