I’ve got quite a bit of materiel for #ThickTrunkTuesday with my recent hikes around the redwoods, but let’s start with this one from the core of Big Basin state park.

Nearly three years after the fire this fella would like to report that they ain’t dead yet!

A old redwood, burnt from top to bottom, yet with a tiny bundle of greenery growing off the top of one of its branches

I have been working pruning this Monterrey cypress tree for the past two afternoons. It had several broken branches from the atmospheric rivers earlier this year. I got almost all my cut now, but there is a lot of cleanup left to do!

I know it's #ThickTrunkTuesday, but this guy impressed me with the breadth (and tenacity) of his roots -- they were four sidewalk sections wide!

Photo of a Philadelphia street tree, with a sidwalk in the foreground and a parked car behind. The trunk is a mature width, but the above-ground portion of it root system is truly impressive, extending at least one sidewalk square deep and four wide.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday, check out this tree that looks regular size until you compare it to the human below for scale. I think it's thick!

Or maybe the tree is just closer to the camera.

A normal-sized adult looks tiny because they are walking far away down a wide forest trail. A large tree towers somewhat ominously above and to the left, standing somewhat at a slant; perhaps because it is rooted on a slope.

Huge, short trunk dividing into at least 5 very thick branches. Green in the background, the tree evolves from a footpath in a park (Vondelpark, Amsterdam). It is too beautiful. 🤩

From my CD backup archives, here's a "#Dunny" on ice with a thick trunk in the background.

I had an assignment for the #Detroit #Metrotimes to take some interesting photos of this designer vinyl toy by #TristanEaton of #KidRobot (AltText has more info)

#Tuesday, March 22, 2005

They make some amazing stuff. In fact, they just released a new collection for #PrideMonth :)

#ThickTrunkTuesday #Monochrome #Photography #LGBTQIA

A Dunny with flames eyes and feet with a star on its forehead standing on a frozen swamp in a forest.

A DUNNY is a type of vinyl designer art toy created by Paul Budnitz and Tristan Eaton, and produced by Kidrobot since 2004.

The art toy is based on a rabbit figure with distinctive tubular ears. The origin of the name Dunny came from a combination of street slang and one of the early "Devil Bunny" prototypes. The Dunny is sold in 3-, 5-, 8- and 20-inch scales, though artists have customized Dunny models as tall as four feet. The toy has three points of articulation; a 360-degree rotational head and two arms. Some come with accessories, such as laser guns, ice cream cones, marker pens, Geisha fans, gas masks, crowns and hooded sweatshirts. Artist cards or stickers are also included, mainly with the annual series releases. Other (often themed) series releases typically include only a leaflet with the designs from that series.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday - marvel at this American Elm that comes with a name - "Smithsonian Witness Elm" and stats (circumference 17.75 ft; 5.4 m) and which has seen much of American history near the Capitol and National Mall area.
This is just outside the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History

The thick trunk on an American Elm - with lots of green and shade

American Elm with with info board in front with text and pics from History ( 1909, 1932). Some of the text reads:
The American Elm that Grew Along with America
This American elm (Ulmus americana) is one of the oldest and most majestic trees on the Smithsonian grounds. It was planted around 1850, well before the opening of the National Museum of Natural History in 1910. Known as the Smithsonian Witness Elm, this tree has seen many momentous events pass between the White House and U.S. Capitol during its lifetime.

How big is i?t

This large old tree was growing in the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, #NorthCarolina. I was intrigued by the ferns growing all along the trunk and on the branches.

Closeup shot of a tree with an incredibly thick trunk. The tree is surrounded by grass and little white flowers in a park. I think the tree is a Black Maple, but this is only a guess. It has rough grey bark with moss growing on the trunk and is covered in many small leaves on its branches.

OK OK, so the thick trunks are in the background and out of focus.

#ThickTrunkTuesday #BloomScrolling

A five-petal, pinkish red salmonberry is the focus, lower center. Around it are several serrated leaves. In the background, top half, are several cedar and similar tall trees, shown from a low angle. Sun filters through the canopy at top right, and blue sky peeks through in other spots.

My contribution to #ThickTrunkTuesday is this shot of one of our Old Growth Douglas Firs in our yard. This is Lily (yes we name our trees), and it has been determined by a pro Arborist that she is between 250 and 300 years old. At the max of that range, it means she was a seedling in 1723, when #Oregon was just a wild territory populated by Native Americans. That would be 81 years before the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

"The trees were now large, and stood in regular, almost geometric, fashion, with roomy spaces between. There was little undergrowth, and I could see a long way in every direction. The forest was like a great church, solemn and silent and empty."

Closeup view of three large upright tree trunks in a city park. The left and right edges of the image are covered from top to bottom by two of the trunks. A third trunk sits between them. Low plant growth sprouts from the ground between the trees. Distant foliage appears between the trees.

Close view of portions of three large tree trunks in a city park. The left foreground of the image is dominated by plant growth in front of the largest trunk. The largest trunk mostly covers a more distant trunk. A third trunk at an intermediate distance sits at the right edge of the frame. The gap between the left trunks and the right trunk is filled by a very distant treetop and sky.

A big old stag-headed oak tree in the fog.

It has a girth of around 8.5 metres, and has bags of character - it photographs well from lots of angles. It's also home to at least one barn owl - the first time I discovered that was when it flew right over my head in the twilight on a winter's morning.

Hope you had a great bank holiday weekend? ❤️ 🌳

A few years ago, while hiking the Rim Trail of Bryce Canyon between two of the overlooks at Inspiration Point, I needed to stop for a breather!! What better place to take a break than beside this gnarly tree with roots that looked like legs (to me) "walking" along the edge! I even see a face profile on the trunk, do you?
