There are mornings I feel twisted and bent when I sit up in bed. The years of wear and tear are taking their toll on my body. I also must admit I’ve not done the best in taking care of this body but I’ve been working on it the past few years.
I’ve posted images of these two trees previously but not from this angle. The sky was a dull gray formed by low clouds and smog so I brought on the black and white in post processing. I took this image about 30 feet off the road in an open area of grass, weeds and cactus. I noticed out of the corner of my eye a pickup truck pull in to the driveway across the street behind me and stop. I figured I was about to get in trouble so I turned and asked if I was trespassing on his property. He said no and wondered what I was focused on. I told him it was the old and twisted trees. He said if I wanted I could to take any photos on his side of the road but to ask first. Then he told me had some cute calves I could photograph. So, I may drive out there and have a look see. Have a super day!

The trees look like I feel somedays. Great shot, though. You’ll have to check out the cute calves.

I plan to going back out there once I’m off this trip. Been a while since I spent time on the farm.

Most “rural folks” don’t mind if you take photos as long as you ask. They may not understand what all the interest is in what you’re wanting to take photos of but I’ve seldom found anyone who said no.
I like these trees from this angle, Monte.

The east side of these trees have a fence so I may not get a chance to take any images from that side. Heck, after saying that it occurred to me that the farmer I talked to may own that land or know who does. Connections man!

Great shot, Monte and perfect processing. I know what you mean about being bent and twisted. It does happen every now and again. A good walk usually takes the stiffness out, though that’s usually the last thing that I want to do when I’m stiff! LOL

Know exactly what you mean. I just finished my lunch and heading out for a walk around the lake.
