Corporate Advocacy Program™
It was a very unlucky day in the summer of 2005 when Michelle Chauvin walked through my front door.
She wanted a 6% commission to sell my house that was appraised for $600,000 free and clear. She
destroyed my life.
1. Practiced Chinese Feng Shui and convinced me that she always sold her houses
practicing Feng Shui. I believed her and went out and bought a new Lexus with my 850 FICA credit score.
I got stuck with the $700.00 a month car payments until January 29, 2010.
2. It was a smoking hot market. Everything was selling with and without upgrades for $600,000
plus. My house was over upgraded.
3. Unbeknown to me, Michelle Chauvin took buyers that called on my house to where she could
get a 6% commission. In do that, she blew the smoking hot real estate market for me when we parted
about 8 months later, when the real estate market was on its way to crashing.
4. The rest of the realtors after Michelle Chauvin did the same thing to me. I couldn't figure out
what was wrong and why my house wasn't being shown?
5. Finally I got my car repossessed and I lost my 850 FICA credit score. In desperation I took out
a reverse mortgage that striped my equity. Call this financial nightmare a DOMINO EFFECT.
6. By August 2012 my equity was almost gone and I sold my house in two days to get out of this
horrible reverse mortgage, before my credit was gone and I got my house foreclosed on.
7. I had to pay off the reverse mortgage company $183,000 leaving me with $62,000 after paying
a real estate commission.
8. I should have taken out most of my money on my free and clear property, invested in a
foreclosure and rented it out. I could have stayed in my house. Instead, I took out $102,984 in credit and
lived on the credit. I did this reverse mortgage all wrong, because I was so upset with my financial nightmare.
Run from Michelle Chauvin. She didn't think her dishonesty would lead to this financial nightmare. She
thought only of her 1% commission. I am now 76 years old and trying to somehow get out of this
financial nightmare that is still with me. My life has been completely destroyed by Michelle Chauvin and
the rest of the realtors after Michelle Chauvin. What is left of my money from the sale of my house is
fast running out. I pray I don't end up on the street. From $600,000 free and clear to almost no money?
All brokers and real estate agents have errors and ommission insurance. I have written several letters
to Michelle Chauvin and her former broker Jeff Moore to make a claim to their errors and ommission
insurance. They have ignored me.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Time to set the record straight!
AUTHOR: David - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 08, 2013POSTED: Monday, April 08, 2013
For the Facts:
In 2005, iRealtyProperties, LLC was not in business. The business was started in 2007.
Michelle Chauvin is the Broker of iRealtyProperties, LLC. She is not the Owner as Barbara claims. Michelle owns no part of the business at all.
At the time (2005) Michelle worked for Realty Executives.
So, going forward, if you are going to publish these articles about Michelle Chauvin, please feel free to do so, but using iRealtyProperties, llC name in the headings makes your report look like my Company was the problem that you have.
Since iRealtyProperties, LLC started in the Real Estate business, we have never had any complaints that were not satisfied. As I stated, I have watched the same type of post from Barbara against Michelle Chauvin and iRealtyProperties, LLC that it was time to set the record straight.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Although he was a long shot in making the team, Harris' performance in training camp and practices ultimately won him a spot on the roster. In 2011, his rookie season, Harris made the Broncos All-Rookie Team and received the team's Breakout Player of the Year. Harris's rookie season ended with a total of 65 tackles (56 solos), six special teams tackles, six pass breakups and an interception. Harris's success for the Broncos continued in 2012 as Harris started a career-high 12 games, where he set a career best 12 passes defended and 2.5 sacks, and ended the season ranked 5th in the NFL in receiving yards allowed. The undrafted player for Kansas University has put himself in a position to be a staring cornerback for the team in the near future, whenever Champ bailey decides to retire or if injuries occur, but he'll be a starter one day. "That's who Chris Harris is," Harris said, via Brandon Moree of DenverBroncos.com. "That's who I am. I can't change who I am. I've al...

Hillary Clinton says she donated speech funds to family's foundation
Hillary Rodham Clinton told ABC News on Friday that she has donated all the money she was paid for speeches on college campuses during the past year and a half to her family's foundation.
"All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and lifesaving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation," Clinton told Ann Compton of ABC News.
Clinton was in London promoting her book, "Hard Choices."
The Washington Post reported this week that Clinton likely made more than $1 million for speaking at eight universities, including four public schools, during the past year.
The University of Connecticut, which just raised tuition by 6.5 percent, paid $251,250 from a donor fund for Clinton to speak on campus in April. Other examples include $300,000 to speak at the University of California at Los Angeles in March and $225,000 for a speech scheduled for October at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate has been paid for speeches at five other colleges, all of which declined to say how much they paid Clinton.
If the former secretary of State earned her standard fee of $200,000 or more, that would mean she took in at least $1.8 million in speaking income from universities in the past nine months.

184.108.40.206 (for 1.5) / 3.4.0 (for 1.6+) (last update on May 2, 2013)
GPLv2 or later
Free Download
12 September 2009
For articles shown in blog mode, it can create a link from the first image to the full article for better user navigation.
It can also create a simple photo gallery from any folder by just including one of the images from the folder and give it the description (alt text) "mt_gallery" (or using the new tagging feature).
See the examples and how-to's below for inspiration and instructions!
Please note that when you use BK-Thumb for the first time on a given page, the server has to process all the images which might take quite some time. The same applies when you clear BK-Thumb's cache.
For upgrade install a new version without uninstalling the previous one.
Release 2.5.0:
iLoad gallery
prettyPhoto slideshow
Image grouping for slideshow
Resizing images to user defined size
More watermarking control
Gallery image caption control
Leading images size
Release 2.4.3:
Shadowbox support was added.
thickbox no more supported.
prettyPhoto support was added.
Configuration for blogs and articles was separated.
Transparent color support was added.
Support image type of generated images was added.
IPTC Caption support was added.
Slimbox, prettyPhoto and ShadowBox full control was added.
Watermark article category parameter was added.
Bug fixing.
After doing some tests I noticed that the images generated by Multithumb are automatically included in the directory / cache / multithumb_thumbs.
Native file locks the robot joomla / cache / directory, which is why the images are not detected. However, after unlocking the directory, google does not detect all uploaded images.
I asked for help to the development team, the support forum, but have not been able to solve the problem. I do not recommend the installation of this plugin.
In my case - i use XML-RPC for posting articles (via blog client) and mostly dont use Joomla back-end at all. I searched for plugin which can convert my images (usual and typical part of content i post) in thumbnails and most alternative plugins which i found here need either manual html tinkering (image classes, or interaction with editor or use of {plugin} syntax. Its all not very WYSISWYG nor XML-RPC friendly. With this i just, once, configure all parameters i need, set it up and...its JUST working. Moreover, its working (with little additional configuration) with Flexicontent, good alternative for standard content output, which, unfortunately, is weakly supported by plugin developers.
Thank You!
Very well done job.
I think it is the best solution for adjusting Joomla Images and links - Intro images, Full article images, which should be in core.
My recommendation: Please upgrade your download section, because anyone don´t read the forum to look for news.
Thanks to developer I have contacted with some small bugs he fixed it right away.
recommend anybody for any version Joomla install who is looking foe good plugin for creating images thumbs and slideshow.
I have Joomla 2.5 and use the BK-MULTITHUMB with the option "Pretty Photo". It generates thumbnails, once clicked it performs auto-slides of original photos which can be stopped any time. I can adjust animation speed, show or not show title, etc. Moreover, I cannot find any original photo in the code (super copyright protection!), just thumbnails are there.
So, this is definitely the best thumbnail plugin I have ever used.
An excellent product. Thank you!
This is a install, setup and forget about plugin more or less.
I had some initial issues running on Joomla 2.5, but this was fixed by contacting support. Even during Christmas. Thanks alot.
Thanks for a wonderful extension.
Multithumb is the right image plugin for bloggers that don't want to waste time processing thumbs, captions and various small or large images. I was looking for a complete solution that reduce my publishing time and bk-multithumb ver 3.1 just works great on Joomla 2.5. Congrats to the developer.
I use it with J2.5 and Im resizing pics on my frontpage, showing them in a Joomla modal.
The tool has many options, like: pictures in front page, in articles, how show the picture (shadowbox, lightbox, etc).
My review is: EXCELLENT, but I have to warn that I had problems when using shadowbox, lightbox, etc., sometimes the effect didn't work and the link left my user to another page only with the image, forcing users to use the back button from their browsers. It seems like cant charge 100% of the page, so the users clicks before its complete.
Sorry for my english!
BK_Multithumb gives the site admin an overwhelming amount of parameters to set, and the user can upload whatever picture he likes - it is taken care of. Very good job, just what I needed.
Now I must admit I did not have the time yet to test this extension thoroughly. Also, I've used it on a J1.5 site only so far. That is the reason why I rated it 'Good'. But the concept is excellent and I have not experienced any issues.
Reviews: 6
Thank you for this great extension.
(I had found it earlier had it a more "telling" name... something like "BK Imageresize" or so...
Kind regards,
Christian Geiselmann

Special teams, bad bounces chemistry, and average goaltending are the main problems, but we really need somebody to stand in front of the net and get the garbage goals.

You don't trade players like Drury, he brings too many untangibles. I will make it really hard to get past Detroit and Dallas, without Drury's inspiring play and clutch goals, and his great chemistry with Forsberg. But that's just my opinion. At least Morris looks like a solid pickup for years to come. ]]> ructation

The gods are also asleep and dreaming beautiful dreams. The buddha is awakened, he is no longer dreaming. The Buddhist scriptures say: The day Siddhartha Gautam became a buddha gods came from the sky to worship him, to wash his feet. Hindus could not forgive this idea, because for them the gods in heaven - Indra and other gods - are the suprememost. And look at the arrogance of the Buddhists who say gods came from heaven to wash the feet of a human being.
Buddhism raised humanity to its highest pinnacle. No other religion has done that. Man becomes the center of existence. God is not the center of existence, according to Buddha, but the man who has become awakened. The periphery consists of those who are asleep and blind, and the center consists of those who have eyes, who are awakened. Gods are simply dropped; they are no longer relevant. What Nietzsche did after two thousand years, Buddha had done already.
A great poet, Chandidas, was very much impressed by Gautam Buddha as who will not be impressed by this man? He has said: Sabar upar manus satya, tahar upar nahin - the truth of man is the highest truth, there is no other truth higher than that. But let me remind you again: when Buddha talks about man, he talks about the realized man, not about you - you are only on the way, you are only in the process. You are a seed.
The seed can have four possibilities. The seed may remain a seed forever, closed, windowless, not in communion with existence, dead, because life means communion with existence. The seed IS dead, it has not yet communicated with the earth, with the sky, with the air, with the wind, with the sun, with the stars. It has not yet made any attempt to have a dialogue with all that exists. It is utterly lonely, enclosed, encapsulated into itself, surrounded by a China Wall. The seed lives in its own grave.
The first possibility is that the seed may remain a seed. That is very unfortunate - a man may remain simply a seed. With all the potential at your disposal, with all the blessings ready to shower on you, you may never open your doors.
The second possibility is that the seed may be courageous enough, may dive deep into the soil, may die as an ego, may drop its armor, may start a communion with existence, may become one with the earth. Great courage is needed, because who knows? - this death may be ultimate, there may be no birth following it. What is the guarantee? There is no guarantee; it is a gamble. Only a few men gather courage enough to gamble, to risk.
To be a sannyasin is the beginning of the gamble. You are risking your life, you are risking your ego. You are risking because you are dropping all your securities, all your safety arrangements. You are opening windows.who knows who is going to come in - the friend or the enemy? Who knows? You are becoming vulnerable. That's what sannyas is all about. That's what Buddha was teaching his whole life. Forty-two years continuously, transforming seeds into plants - that was his work - transforming ordinary human beings into sannyasins.

Anti Morsi protests in Tahrir Square Nov 27 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS/Mohamed Abd El Ghany)
The outrage and political ferment that arose in Egypt after President Mohamed Morsi's recent decisions to centralize power and ram through a new constitution is, in fact, the true beginning of the "Arab Spring" that erupted in Tunisia and Egypt two years ago. The newly empowered Egyptian people are not just fighting for their freedom, they are using the tools of democracy in an ideological battle for the future of their nation.The fundamental change that has taken place in Egypt since the fall of the Mubarak regime – aside from the assumption of power by political Islam – is the new-found openness and freedom of expression enjoyed by the people, the media and the political parties. The transformation is remarkable.Where there was once a police state in which people feared government agents who enforced a ban on all anti-establishment activity – especially anti-government activity – today stands an Egypt in which journalism is more or less free and where criticism and demonstrations against the government are simply part of daily life.The liberal forces that initiated the Egyptian uprising felt that the Islamists jumped on the bandwagon late and then hijacked the revolution. This impression was reinforced by Morsi's first steps as president: disbanding the army council, unrestricted support for the Islamist-dominated houses of parliament, and the creation of a committee to draft a new, Islamist-oriented constitution.These sophisticated political moves hinted at what was to come. With the added bona fides he garnered for brokering a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, Morsi took the opportunity to institute his latest draconian measures. The Islamists are using today's opportunities to institute changes that may not be reversible tomorrow.THE NEW round of demonstrations in Tahrir Square and throughout the country indicates an important change in Egyptian society.The Arab uprising that began in 2010 – disorganized, lacking leadership and without an ideological agenda – had one inchoate purpose: to depose Mubarak's authoritarian regime and create a democratic nation in which the people themselves determine their own political future, not those sitting in the presidential palace.Today's demonstrations are entirely different. Egyptians of all backgrounds – Islamist men and women, liberals and secularists, young and old, intellectuals and common folk – have taken to the streets to determine the character of the nation. Will Egypt continue on the path to democracy or become an Islamic dictatorship? The outcome of this struggle – which will have important implications for Egypt and the region – is by no means predetermined. In truth, Morsi beat his secular rival, Ahmed Shafik, by the narrowest of margins. It is now abundantly clear that Egyptians – secular or religious – are not homogenous in their political ideology and will not walk in lockstep with the political marching orders of the government.Morsi's actions have brought to a head the political tension between the forces of Western liberal democracy and those of the Islamists. These two streams, which cooperated to bring down Mubarak in 2010, are now arrayed against one another over the nature and future of the state.At this tenuous moment, when so much is in the balance, it would be wise for the United States and the Western nations to devote intensive care, effort and resources to strengthening the liberal parties and democratic forces in Egypt, and in the other states in the Arab world. The time to do so is now, with the repressive restrictions of the old regimes gone, the wheels of democratic change in motion and it is possible to effect change.Indeed, a recent bipartisan task force of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy concluded that the United States should impose "informal conditionality" on its relationship with Egypt based, in part, on its performance on democracy and human rights issues. In its final study, "Engagement without Illusions," the task force concluded that "it is too risky to provide Egypt with virtually unconditional aid and support and thereby feed a dangerous sense of entitlement – the notion that Egypt is somehow owed American reparations for Washington's past support of nondemocratic leaders who served US strategic interests."The report recommended that the Obama administration should link a close and mutually beneficial relationship to Cairo's performance on a variety of issues, including maintaining the peace treaty with Israel, support for constitutional democracy and commitment to political pluralism. Specifically, the report urged the Obama administration to actively engage with the broadest possible spectrum of political actors in Egypt.UNFORTUNATELY, IT seems that the Egyptian government that was brought to power on the silver platter of a democratic election now seeks to shatter the dishes in an attempt to gradually eliminate the very steps that led to a real democratic country.In the past, when he campaigned for office, Morsi expressed a willingness to cooperate with secularists, even to nominate a woman or a Coptic Christian vice president. But today, the attitude is closer to the Muslim Brotherhood line and is demonstrating a desire put its Islamist policies into practice.His political position is inclining more toward the radical Salafists than the secularists.Many Egyptians are saying no to this in Tahrir Square and across the country. The coming weeks and months will be the most critical in determining the outcome of this struggle, a byproduct of the Arab Spring that will determine the future and the character of Egypt. Today, more than ever, they should not undertake this campaign alone.The writer, the Baye Diplomat- in-Residence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is a member of Israel's foreign service who served as ambassador to Egypt from 2005 to 2010.

Teens Encouraged to Answer God's Call at Summer Youth Conferences
Catholic PRWire
Up to 40,000 Teens Expected to Attend 18 Conferences in 11 States and Canada
STEUBENVILLE, OH (June 20, 2013) - It was the last day of the June 14-16 summer youth conference at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and Father Chris Martin had something important to say to the 1,863 teenagers packed into Finnegan Fieldhouse.
"All of us are called to heroic love, we're all called to be saints, we're all called to transform the world," he began, speaking to the young men in the crowd. "But we also know that in every age, as part of his response to sin and to darkness, that God has called some men to be conformed in his image in a very specific and real way."
Sister Miriam James, SOLT, had some similar words to share with the young women.
"The religious life of the beautiful sisters that you see before you—what you see in their beauty and joy, is a sign of eternity in their life given to Christ as brides," she said. "This beauty is what transforms the world."
"Are you willing to be open to discerning the priesthood or religious life?" they asked.
The response was greater than anyone had ever seen at a Franciscan University youth conference vocations call before as about 100 young men and 200 young women walked up to the front of the fieldhouse to signal their willingness to discern a religious vocation.
"I was a teen at this conference in 1996. It was one of those moments that butterflies came into my stomach because I knew that I might be one of those guys," revealed Father Martin with a gentle smile. "The funny part was that I was there with my girlfriend, and when they asked about the ladies she stood up. And in God's providence, about 10 years later I was ordained, and that same day she married another guy from our youth group."
The now-vocation director of the Archdiocese of St. Louis added that he wanted the teens to continue to pray about their vocation: "Speak to a priest, talk to your vocation director."
Discerning God's will for one's life was an underlying theme at this year's first summer youth conference for the 2013 season, as numerous speakers addressed the idea of the calling. Throughout the stirring weekend of talks, Mass, praise and worship, opportunities for confession, and eucharistic adoration, the question arose: How is God calling us to carry on his mission?
Host for the weekend, Paul George, pointed out the latest statistic that five years after graduation, 75 percent of high school graduates, "no longer go to Mass."
To help reverse this trend, George encouraged the conference-goers to stay active in their parishes, youth groups, and communities.
"So when your youth leader says they're having a follow-up night from Steubenville—go! When your youth leader tells you to get involved, start inviting people, and be more of a leader, do it! When your school asks for leadership, do it," he said. "Be involved, be part of a community, and stay strong."
Tying this issue into a new talk for students who had just graduated from high school, Chris Stefanick, chastity speaker and author, challenged the youth to stay true to Christ in college.
"Right now your parents keep you in line. You're going to keep yourself in line in college," he said, explaining that they can also work to change their college, rather than letting college change them. "It might take some effort. Call the churches within a half-hour of the college. Call the diocese to find out what young adult ministries are going on. You need to stay faithful."
At the Saturday morning Mass homily, Bishop Jeffery Monforton of the Diocese of Steubenville encouraged the teens never to underestimate who they are.
"You are heroes," he said. "I'm part of a generation in which we have dropped the ball at times. You can do the Lord's work, and undo what has been done by many. Remember: It may be that you and I are the only Bible that our brothers and sisters read."
Chris Padgett, catechetics professor at Franciscan University and longtime youth speaker, encouraged the teens to never doubt themselves in God's eyes.
"The story of Zacchaeus is a great reminder that no matter how messy and how hurtful you have been, no matter how many times you have forgotten what you were made for, Jesus comes along and sees you—notices you," he said. "What do you want? Because what you want, is what you will go after."
Katie Dowdy, a native of Gill, Massachusetts, and member of the conference's Leadership, Evangelization, And Discipleship program, (LEAD), knew that God wanted her to consider a religious vocation several years ago—but she was afraid to acknowledge it.
"I felt the urge to go up when they had the vocations call, but I was so scared," she said in her testimony at the end of the weekend.
She said she had been worried that her youth group members would judge her, and that no one on the bus ride home would talk to her, but "God gave me the grace to overcome those fears."
Dowdy decided to go up last year, and despite her nervousness, she saw the smiling faces of the other young women around her, and was overwhelmed with acceptance and support.
"Suddenly, what I had been dreading for an entire year became my favorite part of the weekend," she said. "Since then, what's changed is that I've felt the prayers of all the other people at the conference. Right now, I could still be a mom, or I could be a nun, or I could do anything.
"I don't know what God's calling me to, but I'm trying to stay open and to trust God. And what this really showed me was that I had an idea in my head of what would happen if I went up. But as soon as I let go of that idea, and let God show me his idea, I was so surprised."

1/1 Photo of Herby Red, White & Green Bean Salad
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
15 mins

This is a mild, very lightly dressed bean salad that relies on fresh herbs for its flavor. While you could probably use whatever herbs you like, one thing I would not do is substitute dried for fresh. I like this as-is or over hot or cold pasta. My husband likes to mix tuna into his. I came up with this as I was out the door one day and couldn't be bothered to look up a recipe - since I only had 15 minutes or I'd be late for work, it literally takes only minutes to prepare. I used Kraft Light Done Right Zesty Italian in this. While you can eat this right away, it's much better after refrigerating for at least a few hours.

Stephen Sillett
Forest Scientist
Photograph courtesy Stephen Sillett
Birthplace: Alexandria, Virginia
Current City: Arcata, California
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
When I was a kid, I was inspired by forests in the Appalachian Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania, where we frequently hiked, watched birds, caught reptiles and amphibians, and climbed trees. I always wanted to be a scientist.
How did you get started in your field of work?
At Reed College in Portland, Oregon, friends and I frequently climbed trees on campus to help alleviate the stress of coursework. During a break from classes in 1987, three of us drove south to see California redwoods for the first time. Deep in the forest, I found a tall tree near the coast that could be climbed from the ground without any equipment, though in hindsight this was very risky and foolish. That treetop view of lush old-growth forest beneath an ocean horizon made me realize I wanted to devote my career to exploring forest canopies.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to forests?
Tall forests are my favorite places on Earth. I am inspired by the hidden beauty and amazing phenomena occurring within and on the surfaces of giant trees far above the ground. Like us, a tree begins life as an embryo, but it must stay rooted in place. Despite this obvious handicap, a tree can live more than 1,000 years, become over 300 feet tall, and produce more than 300 tons of wood. Even in old age, a giant tree still makes, on average, more wood annually than earlier in its life when it was smaller. While living for its own sake, a giant tree's crown also supports incredible biodiversity, including epiphytic lichens, mosses, ferns, flowering plants, and arboreal soils crawling with insects, spiders, mites, crustaceans, mollusks, and even salamanders.
What's a normal day like for you?
When I am not teaching, a normal day for me begins soon after dawn as my research team hikes to the forest to begin measuring trees. We ascend ropes into tree crowns, working in teams to map structures, install equipment, or collect samples. Often we are aloft for eight hours or more per day. Some of the gnarliest trees require many days of climbing to complete measurements. Not all days are spent climbing, because a roughly equal number of days are devoted to work in the laboratory processing samples, analyzing data, or writing.
Do you have a hero?
My heroes are those, like Albert Einstein, who work like it is play and apply their skills to increase human understanding of nature.
What has been your favorite experience in the field? The most challenging?
Working with a National Geographic Society team led by photographer Michael Nichols in February 2011, I helped climb and install equipment to document the greatest tree in all the mountains of the world, a 3,200-year-old giant sequoia I first saw (and wanted to climb) in 1987. This was an unusually heavy snow year in the Sierra Nevada, so there were already many feet of snow on the ground and more snow falling such that the tree's largest limbs were covered with several feet of snow. Moving through the frozen crown of this colossal tree required great care so as not to dislodge any snow, because documentation of the tree in full winter glory was Nichols' primary objective. One of my chief tasks was to deploy an access rope on the farthest edge of the crown near the tip of the tree's largest limb, over 60 feet away from the main trunk. The journey to this position, the view from there looking back on the mighty tree and its neighbors, and then rappelling 200 feet down from the limb into deep snow on the ground I will never forget.
What are your other passions?
These I keep to myself.
What do you do in your free time?
When I am not climbing trees, working the laboratory, or teaching, I am usually hiking, gardening, or traveling.

Redwoods, the Super Trees
They can grow to be the tallest trees on Earth. They can produce lumber, support jobs, safeguard clear waters, and provide refuge for countless forest species. If we let them.
Redwood Transect
Among the oldest and tallest trees on Earth, California redwoods often exceed 300 feet in height and can reach diameters of 10 to 20 feet or more. Some of these trees are more than 1,500 years old.
In Their Words
I am inspired by the hidden beauty and amazing phenomena occurring within and on the surfaces of giant trees far above the ground.
