A Tropical Swamp in the Desert

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."

Albert Einstein

In terms of human experience, this allows us to appreciate and contemplate each event - including those of the distant past - in all of its magic and wonder. If we as human beings are a primary way in which the Universe knows and stands in awe and wonder of itself, then this fact is supremely important!

Hiking in Bisti De-Na-Zin Badlands last weekend, we came upon these awesome petrified logs. They are the remnants of 200-foot tall cypress-like conifers that grew in a lush swamp 70 million years ago during the Tertiary Period. I love pondering geologic time!
