Old dead tree branches reaching for the sky after a fire killed the tree.

Hi Ann, how are you these days? Jo-that is Spanish moss, which is neither Spanish nor moss. LOL

What is the fuzzy residue? Thanks for showing. :)

As if the ghost of the tree is pleading, "Why me?! What did I do that You took me?!" Thanks, Sue...........

Yes, Brie, it struck me. I rode back aways along the trail to take the photo.

Oh that is such a powerful but poignant picture..it looks like its hands are reaching to the sky....

There was a burned area along the trail, but this was much older, from a previous burn. Sometimes the "controlled" burns really aren't.

That's very sad Sue. Nice shot of the destroyed against a beautiful blue sky.
