Baldcypress foliage (Taxodium distichum) is soft and feathery and provides great contrast to the majestic limbs.

This is one of my favorite trees! So majestic and ancient looking. They are turning color now---a deciduous evergreen. Here is an image that shows the limbs, which are flattened but massive:

Laurie, is that majestic old tree by itself, i.e. in a park?
Do you have a pic of the whole tree?
It looks very special.

Your photo and description are beautifully matched. There are some pretty large bald cypresses in local parks and arboretums, but none to match the one you showed in your supplementary photo.
