That's the same tree I took a picture of the other day!

I love how this #tree grows like a #tent. It'd be an interesting place to take shelter from the rain if you needed to. Or commune with nature.

Tall trees with slender trunks and autumn-colored leaves stretch upward in a forest setting, with a few ferns on the ground.

A black and white photograph captures a serene forest scene with tall, slender trees and lush foliage.

Towering autumn,
Colors filled in by the fall,
Winter is coming

Equinox hike in Tryon Creek State Park Natural Area. Hiking trail leads through the forest and a downed tree points directly at the a sunburst formed by the bright sun in the blue sky.

With summer’s last hike,
I can’t help but feel sorrow.
Autumn color soothes.

An uphill view of a dirt trail that has been freshly leveled with loose bits of dirt all over. Trees and other vegetation line both sides of the trail.

A close-up of the left side of a dirt trail showing lots of loose soil, and an embankment with vegetation growing on it.

A lovely fern with slender black stems and cascades of small, lacey green leaves.

Pictures from the #trail I leveled while #volunteering at #TryonCreek State Natural Area this morning. Higher side was a foot taller than the lower in some places! #TrailCrew #TrailMaintenance #hiking #Oregon #PNW #PacificNorthwest #outdoors

Check out this awesome ghost stump I found at #TryonCreek! The original stump decayed away leaving its "ghost" in the roots of a younger tree it supported for many years. #trees #forest #PNW #Oregon #nature #hiking #outdoors

Picked up some native seed balls at #TryonCreek Trillium Festival plant sale.
