"This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world," declared conservationist John Muir when describing the majestic coast redwoods of Muir Woods.

Muir Woods National Monument is reached by an extremely curvy road - far from ideal if you suffer from motion sickness. There are impressive red woods here. The trees are so big that the sunlight barely enters along the short path provided for tourists. The path is short (a couple miles) and circles around passing over and under rivers. It was exceptionally hard to take good pictures in the low light setting and we experiments frantically with and without flash.

 

This picture is of a construction between two of the gigantic trees. Its gives some sense of their size....

At least I think it's a beech. Tree lovers, feel free to correct me. Olympus E-500, Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5.

Muir Woods is located near San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge and eleven miles north. Here is the official National Park Service words about the park. Of all the traveling I've done out west this was the first time I've seen redwoods!

 

When John Muir learned that William and Elizabeth Kent were naming a redwood forest near San Francisco in his honor, he declared, "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world." The couple had purchased the land to preserve its beauty and restful wilderness; and in 1908, they donated it to the federal governent to protect it from destruction.

Just saw this scene this morning at a historic site (Fort Hill) in Cape Cod National Seashore in Eastham, MA. A lot of thoughts pass through one's mind upon encountering a scene like this (how fortunate the house was spared; how old is the house; what kind of tree is it; how old was the tree; when did it fall over; etc.) but ultimately the most puzzling aspect of the situation was the absence of any sign of where the tree formerly stood -- no hole or depression anywhere in the yard. Was the tree brought in by a giant helicopter to serve as a massive yard ornament or natural sculpture? A bit of poking around the Internet reveals that the tree came down in a March Nor'easter in 2018. Yes, 2018! Why hasn't an enterprising arborist or tree-company staged a free tree removal project? One source claimed that it was an old pear tree; wood-workers love pear wood, so perhaps the property owner is waiting for someone to salvage the wood for a wood-turner? One source indicated the owner of the property was holding calling hours for tree-lovers; a kind of extended wake. At least this information explains the absence of a giant scar on the lawn:; ;the yard has been repaired but the tree remains.

If you know more about this situation, feel free to enlighten us.

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson ecologists and tree lovers prepare to plant a paper birch tree near the JBER library, May 12, 2017. National Arbor Day is always celebrated on the last Friday in April, however, Alaska’s Arbor Day is celebrated on the third Monday in May.

It's not a beauty, rather a discreet tree, but for trees lovers, here's another one of African origin growing outdoors

On the bank of Pellicer Creek, North Florida, near St. Augustine and the Matanzas River. The roots of this pine tree seemed to transform back into branches to escape the salt water, twist back to the bank and then turn back into roots again to help anchor the tree to solid ground. This is all living tree - not flotsam.

This had all the makings of a great shot - an arthritic tree, lovers and a moon - if I just knew what I was doing
