Framed by a ponderosa

A ponderosa pine at the edge of the overlook doing the work a frame does in a gallery: the red buttes behind would read as more landscape without something in front to start the eye. Ponderosa bark is the tree's best trick - put your nose into a crack on a warm day and it smells of vanilla, or butterscotch depending on who you ask, and the plates of orange bark flake off like jigsaw pieces.

Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
