A Fine Speciman
Life is rough for the spruce and fir in the upper upper elevations of the North Carolina Mountains. This was taken at the Waterrock Knob overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I would guess in the winter months there are many mornings when this tree is coated in rime ice. On some of those morning the rising sun will surely be visible and turn this tree into a wonderful, naturally decorated Christmas tree. Now, if only I can be there to capture one of those morning!
