Fading Pine

Old Pine Tree, Lily Lake and Long's Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

The solitary remains of an old pine overlooks a lake in the Rocky Mountains. 
As this tree fades to dust, younger pines growing near by will replace it. 
The life cycle continues.

    This looks like a very rugged and isolated place Doug. When the sun descends and the full moon rises I would expect to hear the howl of a coyote!
