Wonderful photos. I especially like the perspective in the first photo. The tree looks spectacular. There is a woods in my town with Sequoia trees. I too posted some photos of these giant and beautiful trees last year, I think.

Everybody read a lot and heard a lot about these trees especially the weeping syquoia! But it looks so personal in these photos as if we are the ones who went there. BTW, do you know what first comes to mind in seeing it?...shaggy very dry hair of a streetwalker! sorry about that.

I didn't realize sequoias wept! My favorite of those that cry are weeping willows, which seem a more dainty variety. This one is a huge fellow!

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
