Wow is trees could talk, huh. Those roots tell a story….
Or…
paradise allows them the freedom to be different.
We had trees like that in the UP. They grew up out of rocks and split the rocks. They looked terrible but they survived.
Amazing trees. Figs? Mangroves? Baucis and Philemon?
Do you know what kind of tree that is? Amazing.
so that’w where ents live now!
The tree looks old, I bet if it could talk the stories it would tell. I can only imagine how old it is, and the events that have gone past since it was a little sapling.
I think I could come to love a tree like that. Very different from the types of trees I see around here.
Nea — a story of hardship, determination and success!
Nessa — that and a LOT of rock to get those roots through.
Dr. John — just about everyting on this island has to split rock to grow.
Doug — there are many Baucis and Philemon emulators here in paradise. Stay tuned for further postings.
Lisa — Welcome! I don’t know what kind of tree it is. Next time I’m on the UH campus I’ll drag my favorite botanist out to it and ask him.
Polona — oh! I so should have recognized them! Good eye!
Bill — boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
SN — and that tree is only one of the amazing wonders that is Hawaii!
It looks like it could reach out its tendrils and grab someone!
Yes, this is a hangover from managing to watch Poltergeist as a young child.
Mumma — tsk, tsk. I hope you pay better mind to what Elijah watches then your elders were paying to you!
Here when I was a child we had a soap opera named Dark Shadows. The main character was a vampire. I used to watch it and have nightmares — so I was forbidden to watch it — which only made it more difficult to see the show, but not impossible.
Hm. I just saw this SAME picture over at Oahu Dreams… *scratches head*… hmmmmm….
Melli — Yes. It was this post that lead to that post!
Conditions were too good. The tree had a million possible ways/directions to grow and tried ’em all.
