Dead natural beauty

One day somebody said, "Hey Geof! Take a hike buddy!".   I'm sure they weren't saying it in a kind manner hahaha But it's ok! I still took a hike up the mountainside in South Lake Tahoe.  It was late spring early summer.  The previous summer the whole mountain had burned up in a fire.  Not a single leaf on the trees and yet the beauty of all the dead wood is undeniable.  Even in death nature is beautiful to me.
