This tree is about 270 feet tall and over 17 feet wide. That is almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty. Imagine, a tree this large can grow from a seed about the size of an oatmeal flake. Redwood seeds come from cones which are about an inch long and contain about 50 seeds. Most of the ground in the redwood forest is thickly covered with leaves, so seeds rarely find their way to the soil except after a fire or flood.

Very nice shot. I also like the one of the kiddies looking up. You go to the most interesting places, Grammom
Beautiful, beautiful image. Did you see any banana slugs? ;-)
This does look tall! Good shot!
Julie M: I did see 1 banana slug. Didn't get a picture though... it wasn't on the "Theme" list. ;)
Amazing! Both the tree and your photo. I love it!
Michelle, that's funny! My kids ask 'what theme is that' every time they see me point the camera. If it's not a theme, it's not a photo...
