Dr. Seuss Trees

Welcome back to Dr. Suess Trees*.


Check this crazy specimen out. Why, it warrants its own video narrated by the guy who did the Honey Badger one.

Only ol' Theo Geisel could have dreamed up something this wacky: a plant that grows out of a metal pipe!

When this is around, can the Lorax not be far behind?**

* Now be honest: you thought the whole Dr. Seuss Trees conceit was going to bomb and never be mentioned again after the inaugural posting, didn't you? Oh, ye of little faith. Actually, I thought the same thing. Oh, we of little faith.

Well, if that's the case, you're in luck.

Because we're rolling out a new feature to the blog.

Dr. Seuss Trees

*And if you're really like me, you'll think that referring to trees as being "Dr. Seuss Trees" is fairly cliched and overused at this point. But this blog doesn't keep track of whose jumping over which shark, so let the posting continue!
**Or perhaps these trees actually came here from Dr. Seuss. It's like Intelligent Design, only it makes more sense.
**Some day I'll remember / investigate how to place these pictures side by side instead of awkwardly stacked on top of one another. Unfortunately, this is not that day.
