Creepy Tree

Creepy Dead Tree, Presidio, 2011.

In honor of Halloween, here's a shot of  a creepy dead tree in the Presidio. This is a few steps from the front door of our office. Though devoid of life, it hosted a nesting pygmy nuthatch two summers ago; it's also a frequent perch for western bluebirds. 

Fort Scott is changing dramatically this fall: people are departing; the bright yellow chairs that brightened it for a year are now gone; and someday this tree will be removed because it is, by many standards, unsightly. 

But,even fog as thick as this will burn off someday.
