I guess being in that rich environment helps them as opposed to these here which have to endure a harsh life and survive by staying small.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-64070624341375498312009-04-19T11:40:00.000-07:002009-04-19T11:40:00.000-07:00Heh!

That's the age that kept coming up in my research. This and one other spot nearby are the only "native stands" of this species.<BR/> <BR/>Deb: This spot is pretty far north from Isla Vista/Santa Barbara, but that area is beautiful too. Don't know when you were there, but lots of wineries around that general region now.<BR/><BR/>Lynda: Haven't been to Maine for quite a few years(I'm a native New Englander) but I think there are some similarities, especially up around Mt. Desert Island.<BR/><BR/>Patick: my next one is WAY older, believe it or not... stay tuned.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to everyone for the input and kind comments.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-28607690314868701772009-04-11T21:36:00.000-07:002009-04-11T21:36:00.000-07:00it is an amazing capture of the cypress tree, real...it is an amazing capture of the cypress tree, really beautiful. it looks more like a wonderful piece of painting to me. the roots, the leaves, the branches, the rocks, the landscape, somehow looks unreal even though i know it is, you have such a great eye, i really love this photo.betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-19149345477631933852009-04-11T14:02:00.000-07:002009-04-11T14:02:00.000-07:00It's a gorgeous capture, Mark!

The flow and textures of it are a feast for the eye, as are the warm and cool tones! <BR/><BR/>I think the landscape there must be similar to the rocky promontories over the sea, in Maine. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to see Pt.
