I came across this manzanita tree on a hike up Mt Saint Helena. The trees appear to be somewhat stunted due to exposure to the elements. This one is definitely dead, but continues to cling tenaciously to the rocks.

2013 is nearly dead and gone too… but there were many amazing moments. I'm sure that if this tree could talk, it would have some stories to tell of years past (Robert Louis Stevenson used to live at the base of this mountain)…
I hope to hold onto those memories of the past year while moving ahead, full of life, into 2014.
