In a way this image has been brewing for a good 30 years. Some of you will not understand, particularly after looking at what I think will not be a well received image. None the less, here it is.

Hawthorn, Crataegus sp. (no idea which), Wind Meadow in Dolly Sods Wilderness. I spent four days in the highlands recently. This is the first of what I believe will be many from that trip. Had a great time, and met some interesting people who are also photographers.
