Look Up, Way Up

31 Comments

These trees are about 120 years old and continuing to do well, but you do have to stretch a bit to see their tops …

… look up, waaay up …

… and then from a distance …

… tree art (with a beloved friend in the foreground).

Happy Saturday.

        1. They sure are. Lots of fighting in some places here to prevent logging of the “old growth” trees (trees that are hundreds of years old, predating colonisation). Fortunately, there are places where they are now protected but there’s still work to be done for other areas.

    1. Thanks, Allan. I do, as well. It’s almost a necessity! Do you recognise the title? Many Canadians of a certain age would likely recall “The Friendly Giant” who encouraged children to “look up, waaay up.” I remember loving that show.

    1. I agree, Linda. The War Memorial park in Penticton has a gigantic, very old elm tree that I estimate to be about 52 metres tall and 150 cm. in diameter. It’s gorgeous with the loveliest spread of branches. I noted today that the city has vaccinated it against Dutch elm disease; it’s wearing an identification tag. I haven’t posted pictures of it yet because I’m assembling a collection, but will probably in September or October. Cheers.
