Back from the dead tree. It always amazes me that when you think something had died, it comes back to life when you're least expecting it. Excellent capture. Aloha

How small is that, a wonderful shot and that sounds such an unusual little tree. I've not heard of them so thankyou for that info. I love learning and seeing new things.
