You do have to wonder how such LONG limbs grow that long and survive with such weight.
Thanks, it is amazing how these old cottonwoods grow so big and hold up so well. Have a great day.
Great shot Mike! I do call trees my friends too! 🙂
Thanks, being that this tree is much older and probably wiser than me it is good to have them as your friend. Take care.
MIke

Hi Michelle, it must be quite wonderful to live amongst these old guardian. Hope your day is going well.
Thank you Mike, it is wonderful to live in the big woods… hope you have a great day as well. Namaste M.
Thanks my day is going well and I hop yours is as well.
There are trees I actually talk to when I see them, maybe not out loud, but a hey, how you doing, good to see you again kind of thought: a locust in Illinois with circumference I hesitate to estimate and a beech in Dumbarton Oaks, now gone, that left a whole in the landscape; and one right on the corner, a gorgeous vase-shaped elm.
Hi, saying hello is a sign of respect. Perhaps it is just proper manners to say hello when passing by these old guys. A sign of respect and respect is due to all who live on they big old ball. Hope your day is going well.
This looks like something out of a 1940’s Western movie – a metaphor for something. Left-ward ho!
Hi Susanne, indeed and this guys was around to watch those 1040’s westerns when they were first run films.
Glorious tree, Mike. What a beauty — I love your name for him and what you’ve done in post.
Thanks Jane, a nice old tree indeed. SO much to learn form these guys. Hope your day is going well.
LOVE that he communicates with you. 😀
Hi Jennifer, yes we do speak the same language and if we take the time to listen it is a universal language.
A beautiful, old and wise tree – I love the processing.
