These are Cypress trees. They amaze me because where I grew up there were no Cypress trees. The Baldfaced Cypress loves a swamp. They have ridges in their trunks and can live 1000’s of years, but they’re not oldest tree in the world. It’s in California—a Bristlecone Pine. Well, it’s the oldest known, older even than the giant Redwood trees.
Laura and I walked at 4:30 A.M. and didn’t even need a jacket. Felt like spring time. I took a picture of the Sweet Gum under the lamp light. Sweet Gums are right there with Walnuts on my list of least favorite yard trees. Too many Sweet Gum balls to trip an old lady.
