mosspiglet's taxonomy of old-growth trees:

• BOT (Big Ol' Tree): Obviously old-growth, impressively large, but not so large that it's difficult to get a good photo.
• Super BOT: Getting a photo that does justice to a super BOT is challenging, but not impossible.
• Mega BOT: Maybe one in twenty photos of a mega BOT will do justice to the tree.
• Ultra BOT: Impossible to get a good photo. Savor the awe. Put that feeling in a special box in your memory, because it's the only thing you can take with you when you leave an ultra BOT.
