While a local legend would have people believe that this bike was left by a boy about to go to war in 1914, the real owner of the bike claims otherwise.

Looks so exotic!

These are actually the roots of the trees, not the trees themselves. The temple was built in the 12th century and was abandoned in the 1400s. It wasn't until the 19th century that it was "discovered" by archeologists.

When this tree was planted in 1873 it was only 8 feet tall. Now it's 60 feet tall and has 12 separate trunks!

This is truly a great tree.

For obvious reasons this is known as "The Crooked Forest" and amazingly no one is really sure how this happened.

This, not surprisingly, is a Bodhi tree; the same kind of tree under which the founder of Buddhism reported sat and found enlightenment.

OK, admittedly, this is not a real tree but this artist's tree-like sculptures are so incredible I had to post them. Henrique Oliveira is Brazilian and does amazing, large-scale installations all over the world that are really worth seeing. Make sure to catch him when he's showing at a gallery near OK, admittedly, this is not a real tree but this artist's tree-like sculptures are so incredible I had to post them.

From the side angle this actually looks like a woman drying her hair. The region this is in was known as "The Edge of the World" long, long ago.

Funny, but I don't remember the trail so well since it has been many years since I've hiked to Timpanogos Cave. BUT, I do remember vividly the incredible cave with crystal walls and many icicle-like formations that are breathtaking.

One of my all-time most favorite spots in the world. The wintergardens here are beyond words.

The park this tree is in what was once the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle. Now, thankfully, this gorgeous park, which dates back to the 13th century is open to the public.

This breathtaking festival is called Hanami and it marks the beginning of cherry blossom season. Cherry and plum blossoms are among my favorite flowers so I would really, really love to see this!

The cherry blossoms here are planted at different elevations so that once the season starts there's basically always something blooming. Cherry blossoms are my favorite tree so I'd love to see this in person!

This is a chestnut tree that dates back to the time of Charles I who ruled in the early 1600s. Wonder if he had any chestnuts before he was beheaded.

This place is known as "The Grande Dame of the Great River Road" and you can see why. The oaks here are about 300 years old and go on for a quarter of a mile.

The trees are the only spectacle here: the ruins of this estate are thought to be the oldest standing structures in Savannah.

If you're in town, this is a great place to check out. They have everything from jazz festivals to seed swaps!

Believe it or not this tree is actually a bar! Baobab trees naturally hollow out after 1,000 years (which gives you some idea of just how old this actually is!), so a very enterprisingly family decided to turn it into a bar. Amazingly, it can seat up to 15 people at a time!

This is Yemen's Death Valley, meaning it is considered a truly stunning, exotic and alien-like natural wonder. Interesting to note that nearly a third of the plant life here exists nowhere else in the world.

These "Circus Trees" as they are called started their growth in the 1920s when a farmer named Axel Erlandson noticed a couple of sycamores that were grafting together and decided to see what he could do. He managed to figure out how to get them to do all kinds of things and take all kinds of shapes.These "Circus Trees" as they are called started their growth in the 1920s when a farmer named Axel Erlandson noticed a couple of sycamores that were grafting together and decided to see what he could do.

So glad they made it!… see moresee less

This amazes me every time I see it. The goats here climb this tree to eat the fruit. The problem is that they can't digest a certain nut that's in the fruit so herders follow them around all day and remove the nut from their waste. The nut is then ground into oil and used in products like cosmetics.This amazes me every time I see it. The goats here climb this tree to eat the fruit.

Goat lover that I am, this... I've gotta see.

Fantastic place for your next big party, this venue is accessed via a natural wood walkway that originates with of course, an elevated tree. This was actually a marketing concept that caught more than a little attention. About 45 miles north of Aukland, NZ.

We're super excited to see the tree-climbing lions!!!

Omani Frankincense is considered some of the finest. These trees are harvested for 3 months out of the year when they yield their precious frankincense. One of 4 World Heritage Sites in Oman!

So different! Darn auto correct!

Oldest living thing east of the Mississippi. Very cool and zoo different from tall sequoias!

Guaranteed to get wet on this one! J got drenched sitting in front and we got suckered into buying the souvenir picture at the end b/c of her and Andrew's expressions!

one of the best rides in disneyland! you travel through the "songs of the south" movie and end with a big drop down a huge rapid waterfall...not to miss!!

They definitely aren't kidding on this ride because odds are high (very high) that you will be splashed. Best to leave the silk and hairspray in the car. Great ride.

This part of the country is as storybook as it gets. Seriously, some of it doesn't even look like it could possibly be real. If fact, parts of the door here date back from the 13th century.

If you don't want to take the stairs here, don't worry; there's actually an elevator in the tree!
