A Tree

Well, it WAS a tree. It still sort of is. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly where or when I took this. I just remember that it seemed to be the only older thing around. All the rest of the plant life was new growth, so I figured this must have survived a somewhat recent wildfire. And I felt that it was indicative of Southern California right now, unfortunately. My heart goes out to all those who are struggling against the wildfires, especially those fighting them.
