My Town Monday: Trees in California
For this SECOND-LAST My Town Monday post of 2010, I bring to you some interesting California tree trivia.
We are home to the largest tree (the Giant Sequoia).
We are also home to the tallest tree (the Coastal redwood, which is even taller than the Statue of Liberty).
And we have the oldest tree (the Bristlecone Pine).
Let's not forget the only indigenous palm in North America (the California Palm).
Last and quite possibly least, we have the Summy Christmas tree. Sorry about cutting off the angel at the top. You can see why I'll never make a living as a professional photographer.
Please check out these My Town Monday posts:
From Peninsula, Ohio, Debra of From Skilled Hands muses about art. You'll be inspired!
Reb of Sibu Pegasus Power has photos of some beautiful Christmas window displays in Edmonton, Alberta.
This week, I'm the hostess with the mostest for My Town Monday. So, if you've put up a MTM post, let me know in the comments section here or on the official My Town Monday blog. And I'll link to you on both blogs. Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteSpeaking as a California native, I can say you've done a fabulous job highlighting the trees of California. Merry Christmas - from my tree to yours. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. When I was a kid, I used to love driving through the Sequoia tree. Now, I think I like the "Summy tree" best.
ReplyDeleteGreat round-up. All definitely worth a look! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy #2 daughter sat in a redwood last fall. Amazing. Simply amazing.
