Oh, what I would give to be the person is this photo! I've never had the pleasure or honor of standing at the foot of a redwood (not to mention touching one), but it is on my list of things to do. This photo certainly heightens the urgency! Just spectacular.

About Would You Hug This Tree
Do you tell people that you love trees or do you just love them and keep it to yourself? I fall into the later category, but a photograph that my best friend bought changed all that.
I went across the street to wish my friend a Happy Cinco de Mayo and let her know I was sad we weren't celebrating together (we usually have a fiesta but two of her three kids are really sick) when I noticed a newly framed photograph hanging up in her front room.
Aspen trees. Lovely, inspiring aspen trees. And I couldn't help myself. I confessed. I told her all about how have I LOVED aspen trees ever since I was a little girl. Every summer we went to Colorado and stayed in an old Pony Expres Stop cabin on a little lake. And everywhere you were, there were aspen trees. And I loved them so. I think I even gave names to the ones closest to the cabin.
Now all these beautiful memories came rushing back to me as I'm looking at my friends photograph and giving her WAY more information than she needs about how much I love these trees.
Well she's still my friend and I haven't been able to get those Aspens off my mind since.
