August 20, 2012 Prairie Creek Redwoods

There truly are no words to describe these massive trees. Our photos barely capture the essence of these ancient giants. We used ourselves in a lot of photos to show the size of the tree; without something for comparison, the hugeness just doesn't come through. Look at these pictures and use your imagination!






























Looks like an ordinary hollow tree, until Bubba climbed in to show how big it truly is!

















Bubba's big ol' truck looks a bit small, doesn't it? Standing in the base of a fire-scarred tree which is still very much alive.

















The roots of the uprooted trees give an idea of their size. Bubba between twin wooden towers.




















Bubba and a redwood damaged by fire. These ancient trees have lots of growths on them called burls; what does this one look like to you?

Two very happy tree-huggers!
