Tree time

Collecting the silicone mold from the living tree — without harming it — on the trail at Lapham Peak.

Further views

A large clay slab scratched with the number 18 pressed onto the poplar's pale trunk, the grove soaring overhead.

Looking up the poplar's towering trunk, clay impression in place, into the autumn grove.

The clay impression wraps the poplar's trunk at eye level above the leaf-littered trail.
