The Old Man in the Tree

I shot this at the entrance to a fee-based state park in Colorado not too awfully far from Cripple Creek. I didn't note the location because I wasn't prepared to pay an entrance fee, but I did notice this tree near the check-in kiosk, and marveled at the grimacing face in the tree created by time and an industrious bird or two. It's one of my favorite recent shots, and was taken in the spring of 2008.
