🌲 A GIANT SEQUOIA’S GUIDE TO LIFE 🌲

Have a thick skin
Stand up to the heat
Don’t let things bug you
Heal your own wounds
Enjoy your days in the sun
Strive for balance
Hold yourself up high

Did you know a giant sequoia is the largest tree in the world and can only be found in California… the biggest sequoia is General Sherman standing 275ft tall with a ground diameter of 36ft and a ground circumference of 103ft 😮

🎶Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run…

Jagged snow capped mountains 🏔 looks like the Swiss Alps in The Sound of Music

Did you know there are rainforests in the US… me too 😉

There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. Temperate rainforests are found near the cooler coastal areas further north or south of the equator.

“… the most luxuriant and most extravagantly beautiful of all the alpine gardens I ever beheld in all my mountain-top wanderings” — John Muir, conservationist, 1889
