Trees Aglow

Right now may be the nicest time of the year to be in the Old Growth Forest.

tiniest flower can be such a mirror, as can a wolf, a story, a touch, a
religion, or a mountaintop. -- Hyemeyohsts Storm

Scott Schilling from San Martin, United States

Amazing moss and greens - great shot with the branches - this is similar to the Santa Cruz Mountains in our area along the coast. Great Shot John! However, I am worried about the king of the forest!

@Scott Schilling: Thanks, Scott. Not to worry about the king; this week he gave up the forest for the coast; the beach is a dynamite playground.

Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States

This is so incredibly green...so very different from Southern California forests. I'm almost afraid that if I stood still too long that I would turn green with moss just like that tree...or is it the creature from the lost lagoon. ;o)
