I do believe I counted 4 people in the tree as well as the one on the ground. It must be wonderful.

To: JoeProBono
I am in the Bay Area and from the Santa Cruz Mountains. We have the biggest trees on the planet and I have always been amazed at God's handiwork.
Nothing like looking up at the Redwoods and thinking: Geeze how long have these things been here? Then taking in all the scents and sheer beauty in things like forest ferns.
Love it!
I could have done it better but I am not God and not as creative. Hence, I am not the creator.
I give thanks to God every time I go for a hike, go to the ocean or go snowboarding for the beauty he has provided.
There is strength, a quiet peace and tranquility when I am in nature.
I love it and give thanks to God for such beauty.
Let us give thanks, to God, for giving us such a beautiful world.

***Turns out we have the biggest, baddest waves also — Maverick’s beach is just up highway 1 a few miles.

That’s not the top of the same tree. Those are banana trees in the bottom of the pic, aren’t they? Where is that location?

Trees
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer. 18861918
Trees by Joyce Kilmer - Sung by Paul Robeson - 1939 - Victor Portable Victrola

I think I spotted six people in the tree and one on the ground.
