Alder Bottoms

Took the honda up the skok river and didnt get far a few weekends ago, the daughter and boyfriend were up here somewhere snowboarding down a road to the river bottom before you hit browns creek, but didnt make it for the snow. This caught my eye on the way out, and it aint much, but i took a picture that day anyway. :) 5d, 70-200 at f/32.

Looking this I wonder what caused these trees to grow at such helter-skelter angles. I like the combination of the the brown-yellow moss on the white background. Nice capture, Cliff.

I thought I commented on this image, Cliff. Sorry, maybe I forgot to hit the reply button. I sure like the criss-cross of the trees! Don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before. Putting the two trees at the edges in the fg was a good idea. That, along with the "pathway" of golden grasses leading back into the stand of trees makes it look like an inviting gateway to a woodsy adventure.

My kind of shot although I don't care for the trees on the edges of the frame.
