Bend, Don't Break.....

But if you break, continue to bend! What do you have to lose??

Soldotnamanda and I first saw this tree in November or so - we could hear it up ahead on the trail creaking in the strong wind. When we saw where the noise was coming from we made a big point of not getting too close - we thought that at any minute the tree could come crashing down. Well, I just visited that tree a couple of days ago and it is still hanging in there. As the wind gusts the gap gets to a good foot and a half wide - but the tree pulls itself together and stands tall still.
Never give up.....
