#ForestFriday

A lovely unnamed creek, meandering through a coastal temperate #rainforest in the Highlands area of #Wsanec territory. Very few old growth left in this forest; mostly 3rd growth & younger with a few 2nd growth trees mixed in. This is a great area to look for mushrooms.

A low-angle perspective of a lush woodland scene dominated by a large, leafless tree heavily covered in vibrant green moss. The moss hangs dramatically from its branches, creating a dense, tentacle-like appearance. Behind this central tree, a dense forest extends toward the horizon, with numerous tall, slender trees also adorned with moss, suggesting a moist environment. A small, dark pond or pool of water is surrounded by ferns. The overall atmosphere is damp, cool, and green, typical of a Pacific Northwest forest. The sky is overcast, providing soft, diffused light.

Me, in bright pink cargo pants standing in a damp forest, gently touching the massive trunk of an old-growth tree. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling across the bark. I have a colorful backpack, a baseball cap & pearl dangle earrings & holding a walking stick. Green moss grows on the lower part of the tree trunk & its branches. The surrounding forest is thick with other trees & foliage.

Gordon Beach, #Tsouke / #Sooke.

Great place to look for nifty rocks or just relax & enjoy the ocean energies. I've found some dallacites there in the past. It's usually really empty on weekdays. You can get a fire license from Sooke FD to have beach fires here too.

Wide shot of a pebble beach. Foreground filled with smooth, rounded rocks in various shades of gray and tan. Midground shows white-crested waves and sparkling turquoise ocean extending to the horizon, partially obscuring far away mountains. Sky is partly cloudy. The composition uses a low vantage point emphasizing the pebble texture.

"I was here." - Beaver 🦫🌲

Very clear evidence of #beavers activity. You can see their many chew marks on this stump. This is in a small #Saanich community park, stewarded by citizens who live beside little Calvert Lake.

Access to trails is off of Prospect Lake Rd & easy to miss if you're not paying close attention. Only room for 2 cars to park on roadside pullouts. The trails aren't very well maintained & you can easily get lost around them. I've ended up in someone's backyard once, trying to hike back out. Wear long pants because there's a lot of places you have to bushwhack through along tiny footpaths. Lots of salal, Oregon grape, lady ferns (excellent for fiddleheads harvesting) & mushrooms.

Medium shot of a tree stump displaying beaver tooth marks taken outdoors in a forest setting. The stump is centered in the frame with green foliage filling the background & surrounding the base. The top part of the stump has jagged, light-colored marks indicative of beaver activity. Below is bark with a dark-colored & heavily textured wood.

I found this cool, lean-to survival shelter, while out on a day hike around some #Wsanec forests. It was an unexpected find. Not really suited for a really big person - I'm under 5' & had to stoop a bit to walk into it.

Me, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, jacket & jeans standing in a makeshift shelter built between two large trees. The shelter is constructed with branches & pine boughs. I'm holding a wooden walking stick & smiling at the camera. The image is in black & white, giving it a slightly nostalgic or documentary feel. The ground is covered in grass, leaves & small branches.

The image features the base of a massive yellow cedar tree in a dense forest. The ancient tree's thick, textured bark is heavily coated in green moss & lichen, in the damp, old-growth environment. Small ferns & leafy green plants grow around the base of the tree. Other trees are visible in the background, further highlighting the forest setting. The perspective is from a low angle, emphasizing the tree's size & imposing presence.

#SilentSunday

#LakeCowichan partially shrouded in #fog. I miss seeing the fog over the lake. When I lived in Youbou for a few years, the mystical lake fog formed often & it was beautiful to see.

Lake Cowichan (in #Nitinaht language- ʕaʔk̓ʷaq c̓uubaʕsaʔtx̣) is the traditional ancestral home to the #Indigenous c̓uubaʕsaʔtx̣ people.
Cowichan River flows through the middle of the town.

Monochromatic landscape shot, horizon at the top third. Dense dark green treeline on the left shoreline transitions to a mountain in the distance shrouded in white fog on the top side. Calm lake in the lower two-thirds reflects the treeline & sky with clarity. A dark horizontal line of logs cuts through the midground of the water. Strong contrast between the dark trees & bright fog.

Caught a few moments of storm today.

Like sentinels atop the rocks, the trees wait, their secrets perhaps whispering out through the rolling fog and crashing surf...

My capture from Oregon last August, "A Coast in Grey".

#WaterfallWednesday
Tsusiat Falls. From my 2006 hiking adventures.

One of the most popular & beautiful campsite spots/rest stops along the #WestCoastTrail is Tsusiat Falls. Tsusiat Falls is a main highlight on the trail with its dramatically wide picturesque appearance. You'll find Tsusiat Falls at the base of an extraordinary array of ladders extending hundreds of metres up into the trees.

Went outside to take photos of birds and walk. Birds weren't cooperative so just savored being outside on a beautiful Pacific Northwest day #seattle #pacificnorthwest #cascadia

A narrow canyon with steep, jagged rock walls towering above a shallow creek. Sunlight illuminates a narrow passage between the rocks, creating a stark contrast with the darkness of the canyon.

The footprints of North America’s mastodons, saber-toothed tigers and camels are long gone, as is the evidence today of prehistoric Chewaucan Lake, whose waters once eroded a series of caves in a remote bluff outside Paisley, Oregon.

Part of the area by one of my fave & free #backroads #wilderness #camping & recreation spots in #Ditidaht territory. The backroads in both the North & South #Cowichan areas have several fantastic recreational camping sites which are free to stay at - zero amenities so you need to be prepared to pack in what you need & pack it back out. I like the backroads spots better than fully maintained & easier to access sites. I rarely see anyone else near me when camping at backroads sites.

A narrow dirt path leads through dense trees & foliage. A sign reads - No Vehicles Beyond This Point - in the distance. The area is serene with a glimpse of a calm river behind the sign. Black & white photo.

Sage smudge burning in an abalone shell, in front of private Indigenous healing sweat lodge. One of the best sweat lodge spaces I've been invited into. It's set in a beautiful temperate coastal rainforest, on private property in East Sooke.

A forest scene with a tent with front door flap rolled up. A round abalone shell with sage burning in it rests on a tree stump in the foreground. Lush greenery and tall trees surround the area. A taxidermy eagle head, mounted on an Indigenous wooden staff with eagle feathers attached is standing a few feet in front of the large sweat lodge tent. The photo is in sepia tones.
