Determined Tree

Found this tree determined to stick it out in the alley near the studio. (no pun intended - but I like it!)  

I've walked by this tree so many times. Today it caught my eye.  Even though it was cold today, it was good to get out for a bit with the camera.  Not too many shots, but this was by far my fave.  I knew it was going to be a mono when I snapped it.
