Pictures of the Forest, near Monument, Colorado - July 2002
 |
Was just wandering in the forest on the last day of my house sitting in Monument. |
 |
Nice and peaceful ... it's what I've needed recently. |
 |
I know ... it's not the most exciting adventure, but it's not as bad as the tree trunks pictorial. :) |
 |
I always notice these old pine trees that have lots of branches slumping down. |
 |
Way out somewhere at the base of Mount Herman, looking east. |
 |
Blah blah. |
 |
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn! |
 |
Serious question: Does anyone know why a lot of the bark on these trees turn black? They look like they've been charred from a fire, but it's obvious that a fire has not been through the area ... or maybe I'm wrong. Any thoughts? |
