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

Another muddy part of hiking trail. There's another muddy section past the petrified cedar tree roots & then it goes uphill into drier parts.

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.

We must be quiet enough in the forest to hear nature speak to us in volumes β€π²

Big ferns & skunk cabbage foliage π₯°π₯Ύ
Our hands are in photos for scale. Plus, we like to touch trees & plants in the forest (except for toxic to touch ones).

Nadene, standing on old growth big leaf maple tree stump. I loved the gooseneck thick branch that extends out. There's huckleberry, cedar, big leaf maple & Douglas fir babies growing out of the stump.
