Lightning Trees

[Flylo]

I looked for years for a stump to use as
A pedestal mount. Found this old juniper stump on the banks of the Yellowstone one day while fishing. Came back the next day with a chainsaw and floated it out. It wasn’t until I got it home that I saw it had to have been struck by lightning.

That was spooky, I was making peace with the idea of having to leave this world!
