Friday Photo: Nature's Survival Skills at the Carpinteria Bluffs!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

Recently, we took a long walk at the Carpinteria Bluffs.  Pictured above is a favorite Eucalyptus tree.  This one grows horizontally after having been felled down by winds and rain storms.  It is for us a testament of Nature's survival skills.

 

Our main purpose was to visit the Seal Rookery from the top of the Bluffs.  According to the Fish and Game volunteer 46 new pups were born so far this new year.  More pups were on their way.  It is always a joy for us to be here surrounded by nature. 

 

"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful."

Alice Walker

 

"Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy."

Sir Isaac Newton

 

"I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees."

Henri David Thoreau

I love seeing trees like that.  Years ago, there was an old cypress tree in a similar pose along the 17 Mile Drive near Pebble Beach.  It's gone now.  I continue to enjoy the Lone Cypress still there.

Kathy Streib we love the scent of Eucalyptus.  It was brought into the US in the hopes of using it for lumber...it did not work here.  A

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel - I love trees especially those that have had to battle Mother Nature.  Sometimes they may seem to lose their battle but to us, they are a symbol of survival. I have been collecting images of trees for a long time and will eventually do a slideshow with some of the best shots.
