http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h89/alingbert/DSCN0880.jpg?t=1197941187 this is a giant sequoia at the arboretum. i know up-the-trunk shots have been done to death.
you can't really tell in the photo, but the bark is soft, and when it gets wet, it's like touching a sponge. when you push on it, water oozes out. redwoods are like that, too.

have you guys seen the huge western red cedar stump at the rest stop off of i-5 north of tulalip? old postcards of it from the above site here: http://www.tunneltree.com/tunneltree/NW/drivestump/drivestump.htm
i just saw it for the first time last week. it's worth seeing, but it kind of just makes me want to see the actual living gigantor western red cedar in the quinault rain forest. that thing is mind-blowing.
