Older Than Dirt (Almost)

Rachel Susmann is traveling the world photographing the oldest living things. I had the pleasure of hearing her speak about her work at Creative Mornings last weekend. The plant up top has only 2 leaves which continuously coil around each other. The shrub in the second image has tiny branches which are so dense that you can stand on top of it! 
You can support Rachel's quest (and maybe help save a tree) via her Kickstart blog and view The Oldest Living Things in the World on her google map.
