Another California picture. This one was obviously NOT taken by me. :)
Jonathan took this one of me trying to capture the wonder of what I dubbed the 'Siamese Trees.' They were remarkable. My capture of them was not, however.
What they were: two trees connected in the middle. Only one tree had roots and only one tree had leaves. You can see in the picture the tree with roots in the ground and the second tree (to it's left) does not have any roots! It just ends. Floating in mid-air. A stump.
As you move up the trees you see their joint connection in the middle. (Well, actually you can't see it in this picture, sorry.)
Then the tree on the left bursts into life at the top with sprawling branches and green goodness while the tree on the right looks at the top like the left tree does at the bottom: a stump.
Incredible.
The trees were not marked with anything - they were just one of those things that as we were hiking along I looked up and said 'whoa!' So glad I was paying attention. They are still one of my favorite things from this trip.
