I did not know about how it reclaims its fallen branches. I admired its wet, peeling, red bark.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078914306329037697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-80838951466509957082010-02-09T15:48:46.710-08:002010-02-09T15:48:46.710-08:00Never heard of this tree before.

Or really, a persons love and compassion for another person. But i must say that for me, there is nothing quite as powerful as a mothers love for her child. It is fierce and gorgeous.hmmbrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593714692710958772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-48945378206677766612010-02-08T19:12:15.508-08:002010-02-08T19:12:15.508-08:00The first time I encountered these trees was on th...The first time I encountered these trees was on the very same trip to California that I mentioned on your sister's blog today. <br /><br />I was taking a solo hike in the Armstrong Redwoods near Guerneville, and came across one of these trees up in the hills. I was dumbstruck by it. Honestly, it struck me as fascinating but almost creepy at first, like raw flesh. But as I gazed upon it while I ate my lunch, I grew very warm toward it.Susan Carpenter Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566372904106529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-34137951062294840362010-02-08T19:07:46.789-08:002010-02-08T19:07:46.789-08:00You shared the madrona story with me in December, ...You shared the madrona story with me in December, so I too, thought you had blogged about it. Such a beautiful thought that the tree does not let the branches die and be forgotten.
