Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Photographed in the Dixie National Forest, Utah
I have seen a lot of Aspen Groves and trees, but this day I came across a true Giant! This is the biggest and tallest "Aspen" I have ever seen in person, I had to stand far off to get the whole tree in my lens. The photo does not begin to show the size of this magnificent tree. I hope it will survive for many more seasons…
Aspens stand 40-70 feet in height, with a smooth white trunk 1-2 feet in diameter. The tree is deciduous, with leaves that are rounded and shine bright green until they turn yellow in the fall. Two-inch catkins flower in very early spring, producing small narrow cones that split to release copious amounts of tiny, cottony seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Reproduction, however, is almost entirely vegetative, with suckers sprouting from existing root systems, the Aspen is a Clone. The Quaking Aspen is named for its leaves, which shake easily in even a gentle breeze and produce a fluttering sound with only the slightest provocation.

I think you did a great job showing its size by using the vertical format along with the tree in reference to the others. I am with you, it is magnificent! L/F
