My Favorite Tree- an autumn portrait

During my walk today, I happened upon some perfectly fantastic lighting conditions that lent itself to some kicking cool photography.  This perfect storm of clouds, time of day, season, colors and tree conditions happened when I had the time and inclination to take many many pictures.
