Native Americans tell of a tale of a magician who was cast into a Banyan tree to live out his life inside the tree
Have you ever seen the Moreton Bay Fig Tree in Santa Barbara, California? I collected seeds from it wanting to create a bonsai, but the fruit are infertile. I do have a ficus bonsai that i designed from seeds I collected from a tree in Algeria and another from Laos. They all produce aerial roots. Here I am at Angkor Tom in Cambodia. I am sitting on and in front of a gigantic aerial root.

Re: A Tree

When I was a young boy I would spend a lot of time climbing this very old mango tree in my backyard. I even tried building a treehouse, which consisted of old boards that I nailed across some limbs. Nowadays treehouses have become very sophisticated with electricity and all..

Not only tree, but all of nature tries to speak to us. Problem is, many don't believe in natures beauty. So their ears become deaf and their eyes become blind
