Between two . . . . . ?
Giant sequoias. Or are they giant elephant’s feet?
No trees! Definitely trees!
Come to think of it there is a lot of daylight between my knees!

Not Sequoia Nat’l Park, no, but I’ve been to Muirwoods Nat’l Park and saw sequoias like this. Gorgeous.

That’s on a trail in the Spring Mountains (Mt. Charleston), called Mummy Springs trail. The tree I’m standing in between is the oldest in Nevada, called Raintree, a bristlecone pine. I’ve visited her twice.

Interesting! A ‘between’ photograph!

Here’s the second hike to visit Raintree, the 3,000 year old bristlecone pine: http://myyearofsweat.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/the-mummy-returns/. There is a link to the first hike (the one that contains the gravatar pic) in this post.

I beg to differ. I think you have great legs and I would be thrilled if mine looked as nice as yours!!!

Nice of you to say. I guess you like bandy legs! Haha!

They aren’t bandy – not even remotely close! … would you prefer elephant legs?

Whoa, those are BIG trees! Haven’t got to that particular park, but did see a huge tree in Cathedral Grove, VI. Good choice for the challenge 🙂

Thanks! Actually, they all look alike after a while but the redwoods are taller while the sequoias have a bigger volume. Never got tired of them though!

Hi, wow fantastic trees 🙂
p.s is it ok if I take a copy of your WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge button for my blog? I am recently new to joining the challenge, I clicked through but could not find the button.

Of course! Help yourself. I “borrowed” it from someone else. 😕

😀 thought I’d best ask first thanks I will come back and ‘borrow’ it.
Can I ask, where you on holiday or do you live near the big trees; they are something I have always wanted to walk amongst, it must be a unique experience.

Do you know, thanks to you I have just realized that I did not say in the post that the photos were taken in Sequoia National Park. I will go back and edit it. Sequoia NP is smack dab in the middle of California, about 600 miles from where we are now. There are also the California Redwoods which tend to grow on the coast. All of the ‘big tree’ National Parks are just stunning to visit. Google them!

🙂 I didn’t like to ask at first, it’s as though asking someone where they live 🙂 but I knew there would be a different feel, say if it was a holiday and the first time; I will go Google, but I know if I ever went, well I just wouldn’t want to come back home.

You could spend a long time visiting all the “tree” parks in California. In fact some of these monster trees are just growing beside the road (though technically the road is beside them!) with no protection from the park service!

I popped off for a Google and read that the roots, although covering quite a distance, only go 12 to 14 feet down! So beautiful though, wanders off for a sigh at some Google images 😀 ……..
