Ancient cottonwoods

while we drove around in texas last december, we saw quite some cottonwood trees. so very pretty! just this weekend i went through the photos and tried to make a selection that i can make into a photoook someday (the actual doing is the problem. the plan is there since a while, but at least now i started). its frustrating how fast you forget details of a trip!! yes, it was all pretty and impressive, but then you see some photos again and cannot even remember exactly where it was. or maybe thats just my problem.....
anyways. these trees had a sign warning you that you should not come too close as the trees were very old and limbs could fall off any moment.....

We were setting up camp at Zion National Park some years ago. I'd just turned away from a table where I'd unloaded some gear, walked away, just in time to have a very big cottonwood limb come down where I'd been standing. It scared the heck out of me & could have really hurt or even killed me. We camped somewhere else after that.

The most frustrating part of making a photobook, is to have to make a choice between the photo's. I always want them all, but then you get a book of 600 pages! The trees look wonderful in the field. This one must be in your book.
