This is a portrait of a beech tree on the trail to Craggy Pinnacle. It always reminds me of one of the trees in 'The Wizard of Oz'. It looks almost as if it could come to life at any moment. I love the way the limbs look like they're holding up the sky in this photo. Catawba Rhododendrons are slightly visible in the background.
