same ol' ... 1 photoperpost ... all trees welcome
i place trees, in particular conifers, at the top of my list of favorite organisms of this here planet. conifers (gymnosperms) have been around since long before flowering trees and find their niches in the most moderate and extreme climates. a simply beautiful and remarkable existence. the last remaining towering cathedrals of ancient forests of the pacific northwest are powerful enough to overwhelm one in unfathomable awe and disbelief ... or the bristlecone that thrives perched high on arid, rugged, windswept peaks of the great basin for thousands of years can leave one utterly speechless in wonder and wonderment.
i'll start it out with a slender conifer of the subalpine found all over the rockies, cascades and mountains of canada, and sits near sea level in southeast alaska. although more recently separated into two species (Abies lasiocarpa and Abies bifolia) which overlap and hybridize, it goes under the common name of Subalpine Fir and is akin to the balsam fir (Abies balsamea) of central canada and northeastern NA
i took this photo during a sunset through a smokey evening sky in glacier
Subalpine Firs, Glacier Nat'l Park, august 2001

Nicely done, Cirrus. I dig it.
This isn't my favorite tree pic, but it's definitely my most interesting. It took me months to figure out what the heck was happening here:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/11/11840347_2591ea9c47.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kris247/11840347/)
Turns out that it's a palm inflorescence (cluster of flowers) that the palm tree was producing to attract pollinators. Of course, since this was taken in Long Beach, CA I'm guessing there weren't too many of the tree's native pollinators around.

Good idea - I thought it was much smaller than that in the first shot. Very cool tree!

That thing just makes me uncomfortable. Not sure why, but I just don't like it, yet somehow, I cannot look away. (kinda like the Kramer)

Found in Fat Man's Misery ~ it looks like some kind of ram creature, right? The eye socket even has a little pinecone for a pupil. Now check out the ram's forehead. See it? It looks like the face of the "West Wind" from a children's storybook!
If you have a really good imagination, you can kind of see another face on the rams nose!
Non-descript piece o wood?

Hey Jason, whatchya talkin bout?
Anyone who can envision scattered rocks in the desert and imagine (& help me build) a bone man, has got to be just as creepy as I am. :five:
OK, ok, maybe I'm imaginative in a creepy way, but hey...an overactive imagination beats no imagination at all, right?
BTW - When I was in Escalante, I saw this rock that looked like and old hunchbacked Indian. And the coolest most interesting thing about this fascinating rock was that the other side of it looked like a different old Indian with a runny nose! :mrgreen:
Now that was kinda creepy, but in a cool way!
I'll find it and post it soon.
PS: Cirrus - There's a cute little heart shape at the bottom of your lovely "stark" tree picture! It's adorable! :mrgreen:

Aw sweet, I really like those trees. These pics were taken just above the Point Reyes Light house. I have seen the "Lone Monterey Cyprus" (http://flickr.com/photos/42304632@N00/799148230/) twice I hope to get back there again someday. Maybe when the kids are older so they can enjoy the aquarium.
