An entire grove resides in the palm of my hand!…
When I was hiking through the Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park (California, USA), and encountered some of the oldest and largest Tree Beings in the world… I was left in absolute AWE to see how SMALL their pinecones are!!!…
I’ve seen all types of pinecones, and just assumed that they were proportionate to the size of the tree… smaller trees have smaller pinecones and bigger ones produce big pinecones…
Well, Nature never ceases to amaze me!…
The Giant Sequoias which can reach over 280 feet high, over 110 feet in circumference and be over 2,500 years old have compact, little pinecones that fit inside the palm of my hand! This means that their seeds are very small indeed and yet they contain everything they need to flourish into the giants I encountered, which tower throughout the forest!
Every little pinecone cradles the potential of an entire grove of majestic giants!… Life is truly miraculous…! ♥
