Wow. I know those guys are supposed to make the trees look huge, but I just can't help but think I'm looking at miniature people! Wild!

Populus frremontii with a Window Blind backdrop, San Rafael Swell. @Michael 's favorite tree by far, the Cottonwood. One of the reasons I love them is because they signify water is in proximity to a parched desert traveler.

Loved how this tree was growing in Bryce Canyon.

Bull Valley Gorge has some of the coolest Ponderosa Pines (Pinus ponderosa) I've ever seen in a slot canyon. I know they are the favorite of @langutah and @NateGeesaman

I had to cut a bunch out like that doing wilderness trail maintenance. Pain in the butt that is.

 

[Nick]

I bet. This particular area was carnage from an avalanche that had happened years earlier. It was a beast to get through it all and the toe of it was totally impenetrable. Luckily for the maintenance crew, this wasn't anywhere near a trail.

A little juniper in a shallow alcove that caught my eye.

I'm fairly sure this was supposed to be a tree but it tried growing in the wrong spot.

Orange tree in the courtyard of the Basilica di San Lorenzo, Florence, Italy. I know this is Backcountrypost but this is one of my favorite trees so I thought I would post it.

I believe these are pine trees, with an Italian cypress or two, at the Castello di Montegualandro in Tuscany (the castle is right behind me). In 217 BC Hannibal, camped on and around this hill, lured 25,000 stupid Roman soldiers to their deaths :

Beautiful shot of one of my favorite trees. The oak tree is just about the only thing I miss about California.

Wow,
Master Nick's incredible thread of trees.
Infected and inspired?

I love the variously kinds of trees on the Colorado Plateau.
In comparsion to our european trees and forests - they are unique.
