Sooty The Fish

Stuff. Travel Pix (Places, Musicians, Critters, Art, Food, Buildings, Folk etc). Sometimes Straighforward, Sometimes a little Skewed. Occasional Verbage. All Original (or Sooty's Nearest and Dearest's) unless otherwise Stated. Very little Reblogging . . . . . . . . Mostly Harmless.

Straightest branches I’ve ever seen on a tree. You must be pretty mature yourself, this thing is huge!

Yes, they’re an interesting tree. Pretty much a big fat trunk with little branches poking straight out sideways (bottle trees store water in their trunks so they can survive droughts).
Its about 7-8 metres tall. From a seedling in 1997. And I am considerably older than it. Though maturity is another thing.
