What’s the secret to living 5,000 years? Researchers just sequenced the ancient #bristlecone pine. By decoding its DNA, we’re learning how nature handles aging and resilience in the face of climate change.

Closeup photo of bristlecone pine wood that appears in something of the aspect of a gargoyle. Two whorls of grain around knots appear as glaring eyes, while a broken off protruding limb suggests teeth and extended pointy tongue. No foliage is present, nothing but bare weathered wood appears in the frame, rust-colored in many places, dull blue-gray in others.

Bristlecone pine trees on the flank of Mt. Bross near Alma Colorado at an elevation of 11,700 feet. The image is rendered in black and white. The distant mountains have snow on them. The trees lean to the left (downslope) due to the prevailing wind. The name of this place is the Windy Ridge Bristlecone Scenic Area.

Hiked the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest and touched all the trees, hoping I could absorb some of their wisdom and strength. If they can persist on this planet for thousands of years I guess I can hang in there the next 30-40.

Landscape photo of bristlecone pine snags on a mountain ridge. Warm light falls on the pines and rocky foreground, while larger mountains loom blue in the distance. The sky has some blue clouds with smoke haze underneath, and the evening light is streaming from the left through the haze.

The essence of modern summer to me: access to the mountains, but it comes with heat and smoke haze.

Landscape photo of young bristlecone pines catching the last warm rays of sunlight on a high mountain ridge. The short, scruffy bristlecones are growing out of a ridge almost entirely covered in pale limestone rocks. Behind is a mountain covered in this timber and rock outcrops, and the range stretches further off into blue distance under cloudless sky.

Bristlecone nursery in eastern Nevada. I hope these survived last year's fire.

That's me next to a #bristlecone #pine. These trees are among the oldest trees in the world, and at least one of them is about 4,800 years old. This is in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains in #Inyo County in California, east of the Sierra Nevada.

A Bristlecone pine shares the scene with a small cloud. A special place somewhere in Colorado.

The twisted trunk of a bristlecone pine rising out of rocky red soil on a mostly sunny day. The shape of the tree is like that of a wizard about to cast a spell. Canyonlands National Park, Moab, UT. 28 August 2022

Much appreciated. It certainly makes the journey easier to surround yourself with supporters who are on a similar journey. We heal best in community. Pictures here with my #bristlecone brothers.
