Ancient Bristlecone Pine

Bristlecone Pine This one has become an old friend, or should I say I've become a very young friend to it. To be around them, alone, under a milkyway canopy ... you can hear their silence. There's much wisdom in those ancient forces of nature. "The capacity of these trees to live so fantastically long may, when we come to understand it fully, perhaps serve as a guidepost on the road to the understanding of longevity in general." -Edmund Schulman
