The long live Bristle Cone Tree. These trees are some of the oldest living things on earth, reaching 3,500 years old and more. I have photograph these tree before, but, this trip was different. I was caught in a large rain downpour. What I had never witness was the transformation of color on the trees. The trees are bleached white and when wet, the bark turned to rich orange. Color was short lived but was able to capture a rare event not witness by many.
