Occasionally I run into huge fir trees too as some of them can get as huge as the redwoods, they just don't seem to have the reputation that the redwoods do. But a huge fir tree is just as impressive as the big redwoods and in some ways more impressive with all the big green moss on them. Redwood trees don't seem to have all that green moss stuff for some reason.<br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394448654943170481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-53668036320332871612017-11-19T23:32:58.122-05:002017-11-19T23:32:58.122-05:00That is a big one.
