Some sort of interesting evergreen tree. Isn't it marvelous? Looks like dancing fingers. I just love looking at trees this closely. It makes me feel like I know a secret. I feel fairy-sized, like I can tiptoe up a branch if I wish. Click on the photos above for their full size. You'll see what I mean.

Beautiful!
Speaking of trees, I'm sure there's a term for the two types, but I don't know how to begin looking it up -
Some trees have branches that grow out and down, and others that have branches growing up and out.
The 'up and out' version seem a lot more uplifting!
It looks like Cryptomeria; does it look like rubber when you touch it?
The tree is many miles away in a botanical garden, so I cannot confirm a "rubbery touch," but researching Cryptomeria makes me think you are correct!
Thank you!
Yes! Of course - Cryptomeria - the leaves that grace the banner at Tree News. Almost looks like the same picture.
Great minds think alike?
karen -- those two photos are AWEsome! I love the depth of field you captured. makes me feel like i have my face right up inside the tree canopy. Love em
Thanks! Don't you want to dance up the branches?
Thank goodness for blogs like yours. It' about time someone injected some love of the forest giants into the blogosphere.
