Face Cut Trees and Landscape

About Face Cut Trees and Landscape

On Pajarito Mesa, where trees stand far apart and the horizon runs unbroken in every direction, each one carries more than its share: the only shade at three in the afternoon, the only perch for a passing hawk. Face Cut Trees and Landscape gives them the attention that kind of importance deserves. Late winter is when a tree shows its bones, bare branches traced against a hard blue sky while the Manzanos to the southeast still wear a thin line of snow. That is the moment to read the structure, take out the dead and the crossing limbs, and shape what remains for the growing months. The ground beneath gets its turn too, cleaned up and squared away, so a homestead meets spring with its trees standing strong and open.
