Natural Glory : Forest
The forests are the lungs of the earth. Trees connect underground supporting each other, communicating, reaching high to share light, trap moisture and protect the forest floor. A walk in the forest reveals so much life. Nature’s cycles, slow steady growth, new life rising up from decay.

Dripping green deep in the forest
Lush green mossy carpeted forest floor
How the light streams in...
Sweet winter snowfall Arbutus grove
Cut the sky, a view from up high
Lookout over Okeover
Arbutus bark and branches reach for the sky
Another day the Salish Sea way
Ridge over the forest and sea to island peaks
Arbutus snakelike boughs gold on green
Afternoon rainbow forest mist
Clear still water lake reflected sky
Arbutus bark peels revealing snakeskin gold below
Prickly leaves frame Arbutus tree
Favourite lunch spot
Powell Lake and Coast Range peaks from Tin Hat Hut
Flakey Arbutus tree sunset glow
Ragged Point at sunset hour
Peek-a-boo Savary from the ridge
On the Trail ~ its a sign ~ shadow & light
Tall trees reach up to tickle the sky
Though the trees to the sea
Listen to the whisper ~ it’s your nature deep inside
