To complement the bird watching thread. Pics I took at the UW Arboretum:

I like the second one best.

They're not rock bands, they're trees. Must we judge?

The first one reminds me of the Stanford mascot.

The first and fifth trees are particularly good looking. I bet they even know each other.

Have any of you ever been to Redwood National Park in California? Incredible place.

SynthethicalY · 03.27.2007, 03:54 PM

I live in Cali and never been there.

No, I desperately want to.

"all I want to do is look at the trees..."

I saw a tree once, but it ran away before I could get a decent pic...

i'd like to see a camphor tree one day, there's another tree i'd like to see one day, but the name eludes me right now

camphor:

Toilet & Bowels · 03.27.2007, 09:09 PM

this is the major oak, according to legend robin hood used it as a hideout, but apparently the tree isn't old enough for that to be the legend to be true

Of note, I have a Kwanzan Cherry or Akebeno Cherry tree or somesuch in the front yard that blossoms purplish-pink twice a year. The slightly odd thing though is that a few other houses in the neighborhood have similar trees, but mine always flowers at least a week before theirs do.

While not a tree, I have a African violet I received as a gift, that is growing out of control.

Now, at first I thought it was a lame gift idea, but I've grown to like it quite a lot. I've never been able to keep plants alive, but this thing is outrageous. It's been nice lately, so I've got the windows open in the house, it sits on a window seal, and since its been getting fresh air all day long, and has almost doubled in size.

thats fucking beautiful. unfortunately after living for almost 2 years in the sticks i have lost all interest in nature. i find street junkies more interesting these days.

but yeah those pictures look great. im jealous of everyone's enthusiasm here, i guess.

You must not see many trees !@#$%. Being out in the desert and all.

Ah, thanks for that!

Of relevance, and I've been meaning to hear some Anthony Braxton since reading the lengthy article about him in Wire. Slow moving, obviously.
