Birch Tree Sunset


 









While out for a hike last weekend we caught the sun going down behind this awesome birch tree. It was a bitterly cold day but so beautiful.  It's actually pretty amazing that it's still alive.  The tree has a major lean and most of its roots have pulled up from the ground but they are still connected to the soil. 

A ruffed grouse has been using the trunk as a drumming log near the base of the tree... he left a pretty good pile of waste there.  I'll have to come back here in the spring to see if he's drumming on it again.
