Photo Friday – Numbers & Names
August 1, 2008
This week is: Names & Numbers
Photo Friday!!
A couple weeks ago, I went to Aspen for a couple days to visit my cousin…..we went on a wonderful hike up Mt. Sopris. It started out as fairly easy, open terrain, incredible views…then we went through this fairy-like forrest of aspens, where I got this week’s photo. Onward up the mountain, we entered a darker part of the forrest where we found more pine trees than aspens and the whole smell and feel of the hike changed. Towards the end, we came to narrow trails deep in the mountain, which were wonderful, until the mosquitos and deer flies found us. So, we headed back down, before making it to the top, which was 11 miles, so I guess that’s okay, I wasn’t prepared for a 11 mile hike! I took probably 100 photos on that hike. But this week, I will share the ones from the aspen forrest, as it is appropriate to this week’s theme.
Enjoy!
For me, this is a mixed emotion of carving on the trees….I know it is harmful to the trees (or at least I think it is, I don’t know…these tree are still alive and some of the dates are pretty old) but it is also a neat type of “graffiti”…..sorry if I offend anybody with these…..

Graffiti on trees has always bothered me, especially as the tree grows and the graffiti gets larger and larger.
Neat photos and you captured something most take for granted. Thank you!
Glad to see you back, missed you doing the Photo Friday’s!

oops – I missed visiting you for this one but I’M HERE NOW! I don’t think you can offend anyone – it’s not like you committed the carving, did you? I think the photo is quite artistic.
