Happy Wednesday!
I learned something NEW a few years ago. I learned about Pando, but only recently had the opportunity to take this photo of the “world’s largest living organism”. We took Stebi (our fifth-wheel trailer, which we named Stebi…acronym for “Spending ThE Boys Inheritance) to camp near Fishlake National Forest. This is where the Pando Aspen Clone is located.
This photo may look like a grove of individual trees, but it’s actually a one-tree forest. Underground, everything is connected by a single, vast root system. This one-tree aspen forest is made up of 47,000 trunks, and millions of leaves, connected through one root system! Therefore, it is the world’s largest single living organism. Very cool!

This photo was taken about July 8th. I’d really like to go in the fall and see the changing colors. That’s on the bucket list!
Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!

Well I just learned something new! Thank you!
I agree with Crystal… the way you took the photo makes the trees blend together… perfect.

This is a gorgeous photo!! And just like you, I only learned about Pando a few years ago from a podcast I am subscribed to. The statistics you give are hard to wrap my brain around: 47 thousand trees, and yet one living organism. This is so remarkable. The way you shot this photo helps tell the story, because the perspective blends all the trunks together. They actually look like clones, siblings, of each other, from this shot. Very very cool. Thank you. ❤
