This tree has seen many storms...

I am very "honored" that my picture has been used as a title for a band :-)

The music won't make it into the charts. I managed only to listen the first 10 seconds... .-)

(No, I do not have an affiliation with this band)

If you vote delete, you have to listen the whole video... ;-)

On a warm humid night, the scents can easily be enjoyed several hundred feet away. People and every insect are attracted to the blooms. Nectar insects appear frantic, driven like drug addicts, bashing into each other to get to the heart of every flower on the tree.

Must View Large!

This is a shot of Twin Sisters Rock (the "other twin" is eclipsed by the southern most one, but there are two pillars, I promise. :) )after sunset. This gnarled old tree was a pretty cool thing to put in the foreground, not to mention the several geo-caches in it. :) It was a cool spot for sure! It is a pretty unique place at the mouth of the Wallula Gap with a pretty short trail that is easy to walk. WARNING!: And don't plan on staying there for any period of time after sunset! The park closes at dusk and a resident on the edge of the park enforces it strictly... he got out a massive spotlight and would send us blinking signals. Then he aimed his car at us, turned on the high beams and then again turned on the spotlight... After this, he yelled at us asking if we needed a little incentive to get our butts moving.... So yeah, don't try to do night photography. :)

You can view more information on the park here.

Thanks to Gary Paulson, Rick Scheibner and Grant Meyer for getting the group together for this cool little meet-up. I had a lot of fun and saw some pretty cool new things! Thanks guys!

Thanks for viewing!

Part of a 7-day nature challenge by a friend.

Walking in the Forrest early spring, I looked up at the Bare Trees and suddenly I felt as though I was Naked.

Amazing tree in the Wellington Botanical Gardens at the top of the Cable Car track.

thanks for looking - best bigger

This is a tree at the U of M Botanical Gardens that I have seen and sat near about a million times. Finally, the other day, I saw the monsters in it. Do you?

I captured this leafy scene while visiting the annual Red Barns Spectacular car show at the Gilmore Car Museum on August 3, 2019.

These folks plant their banana tree outside every year, then bring it in when it get cold. What a treat to see in the neighborhood.
