Location: Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming

This is Quaking Aspen,
It grows in mountains and colder states.
It tolerates cold and most soil types,
And in the slightest breeze, its leaves shake.

We continue our quarantine trips to see nature in other places. Special thanks to today's guest photographer, Joy Handley.
