It’s been nearly two months since we posted… This wasn’t intentional. Without going into detail: while no one became ill, COVID was a significant factor in this delay. Good riddance 2020.
Here’s another image, “Defiant to the End”. From the photographer:
“I came across this tree while hiking in Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah in 2016. It was barely anchored into the cliff and looked ready to fall off at any moment. Yet it was still hanging on, and probably had been for a while, as if in defiance of its prospective fate. Probably a lot of people have had the feeling that things were going against us but we insisted on hanging on. As to how other people view it, it probably depends. Sometimes it’s viewed admirably, other times it’s viewed as foolish obstinacy.
I’ll have to go back there someday in the future and see if the tree is still there.”
