Anicent Lover's Embrace

Large on Black ( http://www.darckr.com/photo.php?photoid=2440310607&width=1024&height=768&photoid=2444265798 ) One of my favorite things about Lake Tahoe without a doubt has to be the trees. The area features a fantastic variety of conifers, with many (such as these old growth incense cedars ( http://www.na.fs.fed.us/pubs/silvics_manual/Volume_1/libocedrus/decurrens.htm ) ) reaching dizzying heights. I seem to have a particular attachment to when two trees grow to such an old age in such close proximity to each other, it's all too easy to anthropomorphize some great stories. ;-)))
