Gnarly
Gnarly ole' Cottonwood,
battered and worn.
Leaves hanging low,
all tattered and torn...
Stoic old tree,
weathered from ages.
Share your stories.
Recite ancient pages...
If only you could?
Enticing would it be.
Please speak a few phrases,
you testy old tree...
Excerpt from Gnarly Ole' Tree by Mac Ferris
I have passed by this gnarly old tree many times, each time thinking I needed to stop and photograph it, which is exactly what I did on this day. I found the best view of the tree to be this one, with the old barn in the background, even though I would have to shoot into the sun to get it. I had a little difficulty framing the shot so as to reduce much of the sun glare and I wasn't too thrilled with the obtrusive appearance of the electrical lines; but all in all, I think it turned out to be a pretty cool looking portrait of a wonderful gnarly ole tree.
