Photo of the Week - Big Mama, Part 1

Once the largest living tree in Virginia, Big Mama died in 2008
Big Mama is the name given to a Bald Cypress tree located in Cypress Bridge Swamp in Southeastern Virginia.  It is estimated to be 1000-1500 years old.  It is surrounded by 40 acres of virgin growth forest of similar age trees.  Next weeks post will take a look at the entire forest.
