We have a cottonwood just outside our garage, it is the biggest tree we have. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, y'all. I planted that cottonwood, Gene, and another that's even taller. We've been there a long time.

I now notice that the cottonwood isn't quite in focus. I was focusing manually (the pecan branches threw off autofocus) and thought I had it. Luckily, the same scene is available every day, so I'll try again.

Sometimes auto-focus sucks. You have three different kinds to choose from too ... I often just turn it off.
