Trees have right-a-way.

 Trees are patient.  Trees go and grow wherever there is food, water, and light. Trees do not care what year, decade, century or millennia it is.

-Rainbow Eucaliptus-the unique multi-hued bark is the most distinctive feature of the tree. Patches of outer bark are shed annually at differant times, showing a bright Green inner bark. This then darkens and matures to give Blue, Purple, Orange and then maroon tones.

Trees are amazing. Did you know that roots can put on bark and become trunk like but that trunks can't become roots and withstand moisture? Amazing.

We were there twice recently. Yosemite Park
 
 This would be quite a tour to take. Wish we could see these miracles of creation in life.

I was a 8-yr old tree climber.  Dad kept tearing down our boards nailed to a monstrous maple. We gave up, but my 9 yr old brother Robert, 5 yr old Bill, and 3 yr old Mary grabbed an ax and we went down to the creek to cut down trees and make a cabin.
 
Now I have to take the next two weeks carefully. Sigh. Please keep commenting. It means a lot to me.
