“The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see.”
-Edward Abbey

Found some new big trees today in Congaree National Park. This time it was in the oak family. As usual, pictures never do the true size of these giants justice. But I saw a collection of the biggest (non-live oak) oak trees ever today. Here’s one of the highlights.
