Cottonwoods

Every tree is special on the plains - there are so few. The giant cottonwoods tell a story of the last 150 years, when the first settlers attempted to change the flow of water. Following the irrigation ditches and creeks, they march out onto the plains, surrounded only by grass and low bushes. In winter, their bare silhouettes are majestic.
