I had always wondered why there were streets in my county in Central Texas named Bois d'arc, and never knew where the name originated. I'm now learning that Bois d'arc is apparently the French name for the trees that grow what I know to be called "horse apples". Apparently the trees are actually called Osage orange trees, or the hedge apple tree (maclura pomifera).

A picture that includes the fruit of a Maclura pomifera tree, known as a horse apple. The fruit is still hanging on the Maclura pomifera tree, with leaves in the background.

Giant Sequoias in --> Sequoia National Park

and when i say giant i mean GARGANTUAN ya heard?

"with a height of 87 meters (286 ft) or more, a circumference of 34 meters (113 ft) or more, an estimated bole volume of up to 1,490 cubic meters (52,500 cu ft), and a documented lifespan of 3266 years, the giant sequoia is among the tallest, widest, and longest-lived of all organisms on Earth." - wikiP

a few trees, which are huge are seen in the foreground with other trees in the background. their massive trunks extend up for tens of feet, where massive tufts of leaves then start to branch out under a blue sky

And now, because absolutely no one asked for it (but I was tickled by it, literally) here's a slo-mo of the WhirlyGigs coming from the front trees down the side yard. Not a tripod shot. Just pushed the camera up against the metal fence and shot through the bars.#video #trees #spring

Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight
The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil. NOTE: This description is created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)
