OLD GROWTH TREES

Most people believe that you have to travel deep into the forest to find old growth trees. Not so. There are many around Victoria. There may be only one here and there, but never the less you don't have to travel too far to see them. The trees in the picture are on the Royal Colwood golf course just a couple of hundred feet from the road on the way in. There are others on the course as well. There are others around town. There is at least one giant in Butchart Gardens near the Japanese Garden. One of the trees in the picture is almost as wide as the single lane road that passes it. Enjoy.
