I haven't hugged a tree in a long time. I should do that tomorrow :) why don't you too!
Amazing!
Thanks everyone for the comments and the favorites. I realize the Giant Sequoia isn't as elusive and camera shy as most of the other wonderful and beautiful Spottings of the Day, but it is a magnificent sight! If you ever get the chance to see one, don't pass it up!
great photo

Don't forget the 2200 acre mat of fungi in Oregon!
Uou
Awesome! One day I want to hug one of these too :)
This is incredible. The power of nature and man's insignificance!
Spotting of the day!
