Cottonwood Trees at Red Rock State Park

January 7, 2006. Here is a "portrait" of a cottonwood tree that I found growing along a stream in Red Rock State Park. Check out the photo below for a wider perspective, showing the landscape in which this tree grows. For this shot, I stood close to the tree and looked upward into the branches. I was attracted to the golden glow of its limbs against the dark blue sky.
