So this is my favorite tree, a 100-foot white pine by our house. It was born before I was and with good luck should outlive me. Jack has chased a couple of bear cubs up this tree and more recently a racoon. Lately there's often been a scarlet tanager, the world's brightest-red bird, perched on the very top and singing.
The tree is tall enough to catch the last rays of sunset, and I've often watched until stars came out.
That tree is what I look at, at the end of the day, when I look up from here.

This one's a little more than a 100' but I couldn't retreat far enough to
get the proper perspective. But then it isn't in my backyard either.

Yeah, that's the charm of this pine for me. I know there are greater trees out there.

I just wanted to hug this tree, it was so furry and cuddly...
and an excellent poser.

I had the opportunity to visit the National Arboretum in DC which has an amazing collection of bonsai:
This one was a gift from Japan to America and has been in "training" for 400+ years.

Speaking of Juniper, it's sad to see a 700 year old grandfather on his last day.
One tree forest fire.
