You can climb inside it but is more of an adventure than a relaxing or reflective experience.
Another tree I know well is on the Ocklawaha River at the entry passage to dead river and cedar creek (if you know where I mean). This tree is like several I knew as a kid, the knees all around make for a magical hobbit-like setting of a grandmother cypress. It makes me feel like a large gnome.
A few days ago I took a hike to visit the biggest temple cypress just before the new year. Just to visit. It's so big 4 people could fit in this room. I would like to take some people to see it.
Funny thing happened on my hike for the new year - I found another hollowed-out cypress nearby. I can't help but take the discovery of new tree as a sign for the new year.
These special parts of the natural have become the theme of this blog that I wondered about when I started it. I suspected that I might write about any number of topics. The wonders of our nearby everyday natural world have ended up as the theme of the blog in a semi-unintentional way. How can you not respect and revere the beauty that is created solely by the creator. It holds my intention. If you ask me I will gladly bring you to this place.
