#megaflora

the trouble with enjoying megastructures, megafauna AND megaflora is that combining them all together just makes everything look normal 😔

anybody else violently emotional about methuselah the bristlecone pine tree. because of its age and all that but specifically because its location wasn’t disclosed to the public until very recently. you can go to the grove and know that somewhere there’s a nearly 5,000 tree nearby. i wonder if you can feel it. and the location. they were worried someone would hurt it. someone would hurt that 5,000 year old god of a tree. we know where it is now. but still. something about the protection of it and having it nestled in among a group of other trees that protect it i’m emotional
