Not far from here, on the way to Niagara is an old and beautiful Sugar Maple (the Comfort Maple). It is claimed to be the oldest at 530 years (there is some dispute), but it's certainly the largest. It has a girth of over 20' (about half of the Majesty tree pictured), and a height and spread of about 90'.

Whatever anyone's thoughts on spirituality are, there's an undoubted calm about standing next to this giant. Sitting with my back to it, I feel the tensions and stresses of life just drain away.

In Fall it can be spectacular, a crimson monster!
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
