Dead pine tree in California desert. Joshua Tree National Park.
Fire ravaged this area along the Wenatchee River a few years back as evidenced by the still burnt tree trunks and dead snags along the river. Yet a you can see by the vibrant color like rebounds hince the title.
Early Morning light skips across the clouds hanging in the valley as a few of the tallest firs and pines poke through the clouds.
A lone maple leaf somehow stuck to rotting tree trunk, mayb e caught on the lichen. Both tree and leaf appear close to be reclaimed by the forest itself.
A few tall trees standing tall among the rising mist and fog of a crisp OCtober Morning in th Wenatchee National Forest in Washington. I like this for the air of mystery it seems to have

Image taken on drive through Kolob Canyons inside Zion National Park. Established in 1909 Utah’s first national park will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2009. Unless you drive through the canyon while the sun is straight up, there is always shadows caused by the sides of the canyon walls. Thank you for stopping by to comment on this image.

The Highest Snag was painted from memory. I used to ride the mountains of North Idaho, and, if I started very early, I could reach the summit of one or another of the Selkirks to watch day break. The rise of the morning sun would bring the mist to rise from the valleys and mountains below me, one of the most wondrous events of the North Idaho wilderness, the mist rising and peeling off the hills to rise as foggy clouds, wisps of moisture dissipating as the sun rose higher and higher. One of my favorite vistas was near this very, very large, tall larch snag. The base of that old snag was located a good 100 yards below me, unreachable because of the steep terrain. It must have been a good two-and-a-half or three feet at its base when it died because the upper third of it was easily a foot and a half in diameter. Sometimes an eagle would land on one of its branches as the mare cropped mountain grasses, me sitting quietly on her back, just enjoying the clean, brisk air, the quiet, the view, and being with my best friend, my horse.

A fire red Maple leaf trapped in a pile of downed branches that I’ve collected on my property. It stuck out like sore thumb like it was waiting for someone with a camera to come along and take its portrait. Photograph taken October 14, 2008. Enjoy! Len /

This ancient, silvering cypress snag is an old friend of mine. Full of holes, It is a veritable apartment house for woodpeckers and other birds who nest in cavities. / The morning I took this, I didn’t see the birds (crows) until I downloaded it. Feathers are wet; flight is impaired. All is still. Sony F828 / Bayou George, FL

Old burn area in Yellowstone is a striking setting to watch the sunrise – might be more impressive for the desolation. Canon EOS-1D Mark II, Canon 70-200 @70mm,1/100, f/11, ISO 160, Processed in Lightroom 2.2.
These old snags play an important part in the wetlands in Hillsboro, Oregon. They are homes to various animals and they make for some good photos! I took this at sunrise while there was still a wisp of fog on the water. I think the creek is part of Dawson Creek. It’s a beautiful area and at sun-up or sunset or when enshrouded in fog it is great fodder for your lens. Taken with a Canon 5D and a 28-135.

It was June 12th, 2005. I was hiking on Eagan Range in eastern Nevada. The day was sunny with a few white-yellowish cloudlets in the blue sky. That was a time when the snow rapidly thaws. In fact, the southern slopes were snowless already, but northern side was still covered with snow. At some shadowy places the thickness of snow was up to 5 ft. However, even northern slope has a big snowless spots. I was lucky to find a nice snag protruding just above the snow cover. I delighted in beautiful shape and texture. The color also was lovely. Moreover, the sun lighted snow made a beautiful contrasting background. It was nothing but a natural piece of abstract art. I hope you will enjoy the picture. Thanks for stopping by. :)

“Uh, I believe that I found this perch first.” An African superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) singing alone on a nice branch soon found itself with a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) companion. In the Bloedel Conservatory, these two very different birds from two widely separated continents (Africa and Australia) often flock together. Bloedel Conservatory, Vancouver, BC, 26 Aug 2009.
