Sequoia
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 31 March 2009 in Plant & Nature.
On an excursion to Tacoma,WA, USA, I was pleased to encounter some Sequoias in a park. The thick bark is quite rugged and serves the trees well since it resists fire, insects and other perils thus helping the trees live centuries.

I agree from above. Strong, healthy and beautiful tree.

Hi Steve, beautiful textures, such a great old tree, wonder how old it is? Also love the branches, kind of eerie how they all look so dark and scraggy. Great composition. Thanks for sharing.
