wild and wonderful and lucky

Here is my favorite rock picture of the day! It features what appears to be an advancing army of trees marching down the rocks. These conifers are clearly on the move and bound to freak the shit out of one would-be emperor who is holed up in his castle, watching the prophecies zip past his eyes like so many pointy arrows! Seriously though, they're not really moving. They're just growing where they landed ~ making the best of a less than perfect situation, as it were. It probably would've been cooler to get planted in some loamy level spot, but still they look toward the sun and eventually their branches touch.
