These wonderful old growth forests are becoming a thing of the past.
@Sof: I'm not certain, but this moss was definitely on the south side.
@zOOm: Not misanthrope, Florence; just descriptive. We have much to learn from trees. Some of us even talk to them; they are very good listeners.
@mo.langel: It is very old, Mo; and is becoming increasingly rare; this forest is protected.
@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thank you for your extremely thoughtful comment, Paul. We have very few trees still standing in the U.S. that are as old as what you have in England. Some of your trees are incredible.
@k@: Go ahead, k; it would like that.
@Noxeus: We live in a community that is very environmentally aware; in fact, Oregon as a state does pretty well.
@ordinaryimages: Greed, especially, is such a killer.
@dogilicious: Thank you. It is a wonderful place to hike. Two more shots from that particular hike are coming up.
@Steve Rice: Nope; it's the south side.
