Don't those shoes look a tad too big for her?

Thank you for all the kinds words, guys!

Chris - Thanks for the Seuss Spruce suggestion. That is awesome!

Steve - I think it's clearer to use "wiki" to denote wikipedia than "WP". I've corrected some of the image credits which I found on Wikipedia - a couple came with user info and credit (in the file history), some did not.

Ranger X - the hole-cutting of the drive-thru trees was done a loooong time ago. Although of course I do not advocate cutting one now, these trees are part of the attractions of the national parks. Your visitor must have been thinking of the Wawona Tree.

Both the song and the pictures are quite beautiful.

Thanks James - I've corrected the error.

Hm, isn't it good enough that someone actually did something good for a change? It's like complaining your free meal doesn't come with free drinks!

Nudibranchs are very cool!

Thank you for the suggestion of Major Oak - that's definitely one amazing tree! The agathis isn't bad either... Please keep the suggestions coming!

Joshua Powell - sorry, I don't use RSS much so I don't know how it works for you. Your complaint is actually the first I've received for long articles (there had been many on Neatorama).

Sri Lanka - Bo tree is a species of banyan.

Teacher - thank you. I'm a bad spelor and even am worsening a grammarian. :) If you point out the mistakes, I'll be happy to edit the post.

Excellent link, Gail!

Hahahaha Ted - it didn't even occur to me that it can be read that way!

I confess that I know *nothing* about Art Deco or Art Nouveau, which is why I found the article quite interesting.

Think that's gross? Try this one: secret ingredient of some soy sauce.

You guys are terrible! I, for one, are glad that the girl seems much happier with her new prosthetic legs than hobbling around on a basketball.

Thanks john - I've corrected the error.
