Wordless Wednesday??

There is a blog topic called Wordless Wednesday where you post a picture that can stand alone. So I thought a picture my husband took of this tree at Death Valley. But the memory that this picture brings makes me want to write about it so maybe next week I will try again with Wordless Wednesday.
If you like nature Death Valley is the place to visit-we have been there in the spring when the wildflowers are in bloom which were phenomenal and during Christmas time. The contrast of the land scape of the park is amazing, craters, salt mines, silver mines, sand dunes, tall mountains and the lowest point in the continental United States.
During winter we especially had a great time due to how empty the park was. It was nice that the park kept all their ranger programs going. One of the programs we went to was on photography-the ranger leading the program was responsible to take official pictures of all national parks for the parks brochures. He took us to sand dunes at sunset and we got a lot of very cool shots but this one was one of our favorites of that day.
