As Monnie said, we can see why it your favorite and now has become one in my favorite photos folder. The beauty is so intense with that gorgeous earth tones against that multi-colored sky. Love the beautiful rock formations, but oh did that tree steal the show. I have never seen anything this unique and am in awe of its look. That is almost surreal. Stunning work of beauty my friend. #9088945

Somewhere in my information I learned that the rim recedes about 6 inches every ten years, not sure but those numbers stick in my head. Anyway, I took a photo of the same tree, knowing someday, it will fall to the canyon floor. You have an astounding image Marty, you can never go wrong at Bryce. #9088974

It seems as tho this little tree is standing on its very tip-toes to get the best possible view of the magnificence above and below, Marty ...what a beautiful sky, what a stunning view. I always marvel how a photographer can do this without shaking hands and with a clear mind to achieve the perfect settings. Glorious work by mother nature and perfect work by the photographer. Both equally amazing. A favorite for me also! #9089006
