Standing tall for fall

I awoke to a beautifully crisp and clear fall morning. Showered, dressed, woke up my computer, put on a pot of coffee, and while it brewed, Lola Malu and I went for a short walk. I brought my camera with me, of course, in case I encountered a photo opp.

After trotting around a bit, sniffing every inch of ground furiously, Lola discovered just the perfect spot. As she proceeded with her "business", I glanced up to see these beautifully stark, white trunks, looking almost like bones bleached out from the sun. With Lola continuing her business below, I pulled my camera out, and snapped.
