Hi, I'm Marilyn.  I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile.  It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here.  I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends.  Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time.  Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!!  Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet.  You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long.  Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

From the looks of the surrounding ground, somebody must have seen some real beauty in the old tree when it was just a spunky sapling. Nice catch at a prime time of the day:)

The white rocks and century plants are fabulous with this. Someone knows how to decorate. Wonderful glowing light accenting the subject.

Nice. I'm strange in that I enjoy old dead stumps of trees as much as living ones!

I love the title. It's so casual and it reminds me of something Pavl would say, just before showing me something amazing. The title alone made me smile when I thought of that. And for the image itself. WOW! You did a wonderful treatment to this, and the sense of atmosphere is wonderfully strong and meditative. With the stones around it, I think of this as a place of worship, like its one of those apparently dead trees that suddenly starts blossoming whenever a hero is born or something. I love that feeling; there's such promise in it, even if it's "just an old, dead tree." You turn it into so much more.

Even an olddead tree can have it's own beauty and you caught it. I like that somebody put the stones around the base. You must have ancient bristlecone trees up your way? Dana
