This Old Cottonwood


It lived quite a few years just fine in the harsh desert environment judging by the size, 
then it all of sudden it gave up and died.  
Perhaps the underground water source it relied upon changed course for some reason.

After looking over your blog I come to a conclusion that you have some really nice desert pictures than I had seen anywhere else.
