well, here is the tree i was talking about on monday. the first picture is me with the lady whose tree it is. i needed that picture to go in my senior project. this is a huge maple tree. huge burls the whole way around. and the best part....its free, though she did ask me to make a thing or to for her from it, but that is no problem.
there is a picture of the ivy growning on it. it is turnable size. there is also a picture that i took while standing on it, it makes my shoes look small and they are size 13.
