Upper Goldstream Falls in Summer.
I like it more in Winter & early Spring - when almost no one else is there.

Beautiful 2nd growth cedar tree. Branches are covered in moss & lichens.

Please enjoy & excuse my not smiling face.
I wanted to show folks that nature never wastes anything. I wanted to show how this dead tree is feeding new life growths & how many animals benefit from us letting nature do its thing.

I saw this huge Douglas fir tree trunk on our way back to parking spot.
When I first saw it - shouted out - LOOK AT THAT! They are WOOD SHORTS!
Then, my friend took a pic of me with the big wood shorts.

Safe at home now. Famished & need to eat. Will post more photos later or tomorrow.
We ended up #hiking the Upper Falls trails at #GoldstreamPark instead. It's accessed via the campground area & the trails there aren't as busy as the main hiking trails accessed through their main parking lot. My friend had never seen the Upper Falls before so I wanted to show her.

There's a raven's nest way up there but you can't see it from this shot. This is in one of the areas I used to patrol & do fish monitoring at.

#Nature is #reclaiming old industrial #remains from #logging camp - #ShirleyBC - between #Tsouke / #Sooke & #Pacheedaht / #PortRenfrew . #Rusty #metal #rope on #TreesKnees .
If you bushwhack through overgrown areas, you'll find ruins from old Muir farm homestead & logging workers' camps. Hard to access those areas now that Mosiac put gates up almost everywhere ☹

#trees #gemel specimen in #Wsanec / #Saanich - #fir & #cedar 🌲 This is an example of when trees #naturally #graft themselves & increase their #survival rates. Some trees have broken branches & they find parts of healthier trees to graft onto & keep growing. I love spotting gemels in the #forest 🥰

Some more of my #HikingPhotos - an interesting & unique #tree that has very cool secondary tree growing out of it, my #TMNT in a bed of soft #green #moss & the pure #resilience of #nature shown by a tree that refuses to allow a metal fence to stop it from #growing 🥰
