Ancient tree sequoia, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

This was taken at Longwood Gardens on April 25th. I thought it was interesting to see this as we don’t grow Sequoias in PA.! the info said it started growing in the year 312 and was cut down in 1914. Interesting!!

Wow – just counting the rings was a year-long job! Cool.

Have a great weekend.

What a wonderful photo! Truly amazing that those trees live so long and have seen so much history. If they could only talk.

Mine is up…come on over!

Sorry for taking such a long time to drop by. Nice and meaningful! We should preserve our forests and do less logging.

Fascinating shot. Congratulations on being chosen as site of the day.

Hey! This is so cool! I can’t imagine how large that tree must’ve been! Did it say? 1600 hundred years sure is a long time!

Fascinating isn’t it, to think that a tree could live so long, all the things it must have lived though. I wonder who had the patience to count all the rings 🙂

Well done for being site of the day! Well deserved!
