Hey...we've got one of those, too!
This one is in Rosaryville State Park, where the D.C. TE folks rode on Thanksgiving Day.
Only...you're may be a bit...um...slower...it looks like yours has been hanging around for a bit longer.

I don't know - I emailed her back to see if she knows, but it looks like one of those emails that's just making the rounds.

I love that photo, Oakleaf! I don't know why - it has beautiful subdued colours, but I think it's the way nature is just quietly taking it all back that appeals to me. Like "you people can run around here in a hurry and be masters of the universe all you like, but in a hundred years you'll all be dead and the trees will still be growing."

Here's what my landscaper said: "Some are at a theme park called Bonfante Gardens (now Gilroy Gardens) in California. Some are in Israel. Many are in Australia. The website for the Australia ones is Pooktre."
I couldn't find that photo on the web - those look like redwoods, don't they, and Gilroy isn't in redwood country, is it?Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I think the first one might be our "Bike-eating tree" here in the Seattle area. (Bainbridge Island? Whidbey Island? Vashon Island? on some island around here) Quilfred uses the Bike-eating Tree as her avatar, she knows where it is.
