    Kind of reminds me of the forest in Washington I used to go play around in, ginormous trees, all covered in moss.

    ok this is suppose to be a tree hugging pic and this one is not, so why does it have all the votes..... stupid people, come on, show some support for tree huggers

      I don't really think calling people stupid for voting for my tree is appropriate. There are a few trees not being hugged. I think it's relevant being that it is a tree and it was hugged. Now quit being rude and go do something positive for insulting 46 people.

          ok this is where the "stupid" part comes in. if you are inside of it how did you take the pic?

            They make cameras with timers these days. That way you can set the camera down and take a picture of yourself. Like this one. It's my favorite tree. It said take a picture of you and your favorite tree. Although my arms are not "around" the tree i'm there with the tree sharing the love.

            and maybe it's just me but people seem to like it.

    Jeesh! How rude! I love how people say things online they would say in person. Well, your one tree hugger with a lot of tree huggin friends who will keep the votes coming your way, your pic deserves it.

        So your saying you'd call someone stupid,to their face, because of their choice of a photo? I think you're on the wrong site.

    What an amazing photo! I don't understand the negative comment . People are voting for it because it's beautiful and unique and obviously the person who took the photo loves trees which makes him a tree hugger :)
    • Doobie2

      Raquel KreuerApprentice said on June 30, 2009

      the negative is because it is just a tree in the pic, the contest is for tree huggers, not trees. and everyone is voting for this pic. now dont get me wrong it is a great pic coming from a pro, but i think we should stick to the theme and give every tree hugger a chance and this pic is not :(

        once again the tree is being loved and people seem to want to vote for it.

        Perhaps you will consider submitting your own tree hugger photo Raquel. :)
  • Heather MacDougallApprentice said on July 02, 2009

    Nick,
    If you need verification of your tree-hugging competence and your many years of tree-hugging experience, I would be happy to write a letter ;)

    Also, I'm hugging this tree in my heart - very cool. I bet its the kind that gives you an energy-hug back when you stand in it, a feeling of instant calm and connectedness.

    Heather... I am with you! I would write a letter to anyone telling them about the years and years of experience Nick has "hugging trees" and sharing his passion about nature with thousands of students each year and for making our lives better just for knowing him. He brightens the world with his creativity, passion, humor, and love.
    Love to you Nick!!! Rock this contest.

    How unique. But it reminds me more of a wooly mammoth than an elephant with all that shaggyness. Thanks.
