I like gnarly tress. They have a beauty all their own. Pretty shots, Earl.

Attractive series, I like the last image most Earl.

They are like Baobabs in a way, Earl. They look like they are jammed upside-down into the ground. Nice images.

Earl, great photos and yes, they can not only grow in unique ways, they soak up all the water they can. South Florida imported them to help in draining the Everglades and now they can not get rid of them, they are survivors. When you try to burn them up all they do is throw out their seeds. Bugs and reptiles also love them because it is easy to get behind the paper like bark. Just my thoughts on the trees not Earls photos which are great.

Thanks for posting these trees. Everything in nature has its own "look". Interesting nonetheless.
