Young Cottonwood saplings rise from a dried grassy knoll, framing the stately skeletal remains of their deceased ancestors, whose barkless silvery trunks stand starkly against a dark blue sky.
Description

Once proud Cottonwood trees rise from a knoll of dried brown grasses. Their bark-less silvery trunks stand starkly against the deep blues of a mostly cloudless sky. New saplings grow beneath them, limbs bare during this sunny Winter day, waiting for the advent of Spring to sprout new leaves so they too may grow tall and produce new offspring in the endless cycle of life.
