A naked tree reaching up to the sky. Pictures like this symbolize the death of one season and the awakening of another. With no leaves, they seem to searching for something that they probably will never find. This is why I love hiking during the fall and winter. You just look up and life is waiting for you!

I mostly hike during summer and never thought of it like this… interesting. Nice photo!

Thank you! I see every hike as an opportiunity reconnect and recharge. Kind of like a snake shedding its skin.
