Pine Trees - Tumblr Posts
Alright. I have to talk about the pine trees in Congaree National Forest.
This forest is full of inspiration.
This here is a unusually gigantic Loblolly Pine tree. One of the most common tree species found in South Eastern United States. On Average, Loblolly Pines will grow between 60-90 feet tall. Pine forests cover the landscape of South Carolina, and looks like this:
Recently discovering the fact that a quiet and remote National Park resided 2 hours inland from me blew my mind. How had I gone this long without knowing about its existence and significance? Anyone who knows me knows how much I love forests, so I immediately made plans to visit. I needed to see these giants.
I was amazed at the size of these Loblolly champions. The tallest towering at over 167 feet, which is unheard of! There are no pictures I could take that could show the height of these trees due to a thick leaf canopy, so I will explain.
This is a picture of a 12 story building in my hometown, which is about 145 feet tall. The pines in Congaree are TALLER than that. The champion pine is measured at 17 stories in height! Astonishing.
What an amazing and rare gift the floodplain has given us. Trees this tall are rare in this region of the world, so I am thankful to have found them. I can’t wait for my next visit to explore more of the ancient tree species in this forest.
Consolidated collection of tree pics from Congaree. This South Carolinian old growth forest is full ancient treasures. I have only explored a very tiny piece of the national park’s 20,000+ acres. Pictured here is Water Tupelo, Loblolly Pine, and Bald Cypress trees.
Every time I come to Congaree, I keep going deeper into the forest, and the trees just keep getting bigger. Today specifically, I finally found the Champion Loblolly Pine Tree. This tree is a towering 169 feet tall.
There’s so much beauty in common things. Life is too short not to appreciate the pines.

At times, the original flora [of Palestine] manages to return in surprising ways. Pine trees were planted not only over bulldozed houses, but also over fields and olive groves. In the new development town of Migdal Ha-Emek, for example, the JNF did its utmost to try and cover the ruins of the Palestinian village of Mujaydil, at the town’s eastern entrance, with rows of pine trees, not a proper forest in this case but just a small wood. Such ‘green lungs’ can be found in many of Israel’s development towns that cover destroyed Palestinian villages (Tirat Hacarmel over Tirat Haifa, Qiryat Shemona over Khalsa, Ashkelon over Majdal, etc.). But this particular species failed to adapt to the local soil and, despite repeated treatment, disease kept afflicting the trees. Later visits by relatives of some of Mujaydial’s original villagers revealed that some of the pine trees had literally split in two and how, in the middle of their broken trunks, olive trees had popped up in defiance of the alien flora planted over them fifty-six years ago.

Virajda doğru konum hayat kurtarır. Viraja girmeden önce doğru hat üzerinde olmamız gerekir, doğru hat görüş alabileceğimiz en yüksek görüş alanıdır.
Görüş alanımız ne kadar yüksekse hakimiyetimiz bir o kadar iyi olur.
Mutlu eden şeylerin ne olduğu önemli değil, saçma sapan gereksiz eylemlerde bunun içinde, mutlu ediyorsa gereksiz boş işler peşinden giderim.
Kullanıcısı olmaksızın dengede duramayan bir ulaşım aracı olan motosikletten bir ulaşım aracı olarak faydalanabilmek için çaba gösteren kullanıcılar.
Diğerleri sadece ikinci olur.
Kimsenin bizi görmeyeceğini bilerek kontağı çevirmeliyiz.
Öyle bir yerin olması ve bizim böyle bir yerde olmamız çok can sıkıcı bir durum.
Nasıl hissetmem gerektiğini bilmiyorum.
Motosiklet bir yaşam tarzıdır, bir yaşam tarzı evet, anlam arama. Kapıyı aç, evlat uzaklaş oradan.

Plan yok, plan bu.
I was thinking about a series of hoop drawings involving whimsical forms, but I think I will put them on the back burner for a while longer.
I went on my walk tonight and was fascinated by the long leaf pine bark. I came home and sketched out my thoughts, then began to stitch. I will stay with nature forms for a while, since that is what's speaking to me now.
