Cedar of Lebanon, Montpelier (Virginia) January 2017 |
What is more majestic than a huge tree on a winter morning. This historic tree dates from the time of James Madison, possibly dating from the 1820's.
Although we didn't walk through them due to weather, the forests on this property are a National Natural Landmark.
Day 25 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge
Hi Alana, Wow, you are doing great on the Ultimate Blog Challenge. And the tree in your photo is spectacular! Also, thank you for teaching me something new ... "National Natural Landmark" ... I did not know about that designation. Very interesting and I want to see if we have any of those out here in Washington State. Thanks for sharing your blog.
ReplyDeleteI have a picture almost identical to this in black and white hanging above my bed. It's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Not as majestic as when it would be adorned with leaves.
ReplyDeleteNice photo
ReplyDeleteMajestic indeed! Enjoyed the history lesson. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, even more so when it's covered in snow!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's a great image.
ReplyDeleteThat tree is beautiful, and I love the feel that the black and shades of grey give to the tree.
ReplyDeleteOne does here much about our founding fathers Madison or Monore.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
I do love how trees change in appearance from season to season (in our states that have four seasons!) That one is spectacular! Thanks for sharing.
