Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

A medium shot captures a large, old-growth cedar tree trunk from a low angle. The central composition highlights the tree's verticality and the pronounced, textured bark. Light filters through the surrounding forest canopy, casting highlights and shadows across the bark and foliage, emphasizing the depth and texture of the scene. The color palette is dominated by browns and greens, creating a natural and earthy tone. Framing is tight, focusing detail.

2020 on #MearesIsland. #ThickTrunkTuesday

A colossal #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is part of the #Tlaoquiaht #FirstNations #TribalPark.
I hiked the big trees trails there - magnificent!

Me, standing beside a colossal cedar tree in a sun-dappled, ancient, old growth forest. The woman, dressed in a purple tank top, white pants & brown boots, leans against the tree with a walking cane. The tree's massive trunk dominates the scene, its textured bark showing its age. In the foreground, on the ground near the tree's roots, is a sign that reads "Cedar Tree of Life." Green foliage surrounds the tree, adding to the lush, natural environment.

This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.

Vertical, eye-level shot. A colossal cedar tree with rough, vertically ridged bark is centered, filling most of the frame. The tree is surrounded by green trees, partially out of focus, creating depth of field. Sunlight filters through the leaves. The tree texture contrast strongly against with the leafy foliage.

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.

#TexturesTuesday

I love interesting tree #bark. These are two very different old growth trees & their unique bark #textures
#Arbutus / #Madrona & Western Red #Cedar.

An old growth Arbutus tree, close up on its interesting weathered bark. Revealing colorful layers of bark that has changed ovrr time. The bottom layer is pale green, transitioning to brown and then into a pattern of wavy, dark blue-black lines. A section of rough, white runs vertically along the top left. Cracks and weathered textures are visible throughout the bark.

A close-up shot reveals the intricate texture of cedar tree bark, featuring a mix of long, vertical ridges intersected by horizontal lines, creating a distinct and aged appearance. The color palette is predominantly brown and silver, with deeper shadows adding depth and highlighting the weathered surface of the bark.

#FootpathFriday through the #forest
Rugged hiking trail, winding through luscious coastal temperate rainforest.

Medium shot of a forest interior. Dominated by green & brown hues, the image features a central pathway framed by tall trees & dense ferns. Light from above illuminates a small section of the path & ferns in the foreground, creating contrast & depth. The composition leads the eye along the path into the shadowy depths of the forest.

#ThrowbackThursday
4 years ago, I first met this gentle giant.
It's one of the only older Western red #cedar #trees left at #W̱MÍYEŦEN #NatureSanctuary. Most of the land had been logged more than once before it was acquired for conservation & rewilding. This is a 2nd growth cedar & it is over 150 yrs old.

The W̱MÍYEŦEN #Nature Sanctuary is a 42 acre protected forest and riparian area that supports biodiversity while preserving ecosystems and wildlife habitat. The tranquil natural environment, inspires an awareness of nature as teacher and essential ally.

https://wmiyetennaturesanctuary.com/

I'm a member of this local, biodiverse nature sanctuary. They mainly rely on memberships & public donations. They work with #Indigenous leaders/educators/naturalists from #Wsanec First Nations. The name was changed from the former Mary Lake Sanctuary to W̱MÍYEŦEN Nature Sanctuary to respect that the property is on native lands.

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.

#Arbor #family of yellow #cedar #trees in the #forest. These are 3rd growth cedars, between 60-100 years old.
On territory.

A black & white photograph of me standing next to big cedar trees in a dense forest. The trees have thick, gnarled trunks & many bare, winding branches that reach upward & outward, creating a visual texture. I'm wearing a white fur hat & dark clothing, partially obscured by the tree's trunk. The forest floor is covered with leaves & twigs, adding to the overall sense of a wild, untamed environment. Other tall trees surround the primary subject forming a dense forest scene.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

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.

A small community in the forest

The greying bark of a tree, is host to various mushrooms, polypores and fungi . On the right, orange ones crawl up the tree, at the bottom, barely standing out, are grey polypores in a cluster, and more orange ones on the Left. Around are some dried bushes an plants at the base with one bright green finger of a coniferous tree.

#ForestFriday

A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/canada-s-gnarliest-tree

https://vancouverislandview.com/finding-port-renfrews-biggest-trees

We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

A large, ancient cedar tree with a huge twisted, gnarled trunk stands in a vibrant forest. The background is a mix of green and pink hues, creating a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere around the massive tree. Sunlight filters through the canopy.
