Get ready to meet some giants. And there's no telling where they might turn up. Cyprus. Japan. The Galápagos Islands. Nepal. Korea. Australia. Namibia. Denmark. Vancouver Island in Canada. California is richly blessed with leafy green behemoths, but then, that's redwood sequoia country. There are photos documenting visits to Redwood National Park and an encounter with the famous McKinley tree in the Sequoia National Park. But there are also posts featuring Bay Figs, water oak, American elms, giant Sitka spruce, carob trees, eucalyptus and giant camphor. We see scarred survivors that exude masses of gnarly character. Silent witnesses to world history. Like Big Dan, a bald Cypress believed to be around 2500 years old. And tiny, insignificant humans, added mainly for scale. Occasionally, trees become history. themselves. One video memorial pays homage to a 300-year-old State Champion Honey Locust from Ohio that was downed in a recent storm. Another post shares the grief accompanying the death of Tsitakakantsa, the largest measured baobab tree from the island nation of Madagascar, imbued by myth with important spiritual energy. Seek big trees and you will find so much more.
