Bring Your Popcorn and the Little Tree at Grasshopper Point
This little tree lives in an alpine meadow near Grasshopper Point. If you like alpine meadows, this is a great hike: from Grasshopper Mountain over to Chucksney Mountain stretch 3 or 4 of miles of meadows, with some cool rocky ridges connecting them. It's an old trail, and near the middle is a very funny section of trail. It's run straight down a gentle slope, and is over 6 feet deep in places.
There isn't much shade over the first mile of the trail, walking up to the ridgeline, so I like to go on cloudy days. Days like this one are great for capturing photos reminiscent of Chinese ink painting.
I post a picture of a tree on Christmas Day, and this was the 2005 photo.

Thanks to Arwen Galen!
