Urban old growth fir trees on a rainy morning. This stand of fir trees and a nearby stand of old growth Oregon White Oaks have been protected as a city park for 100 years.

Grenofen Wood, Lower Walkham Valley, West #Devon

Though undoubtedly wooded for centuries, many trees there today are not ancient. From early C19th to 1880s, area was heavily mined for tin and copper, with wood for various purposes in great demand. End of mining meant regrowth of trees amongst lumps and bumps and derelict buildings. Yet it's the kind of moist sheltered habitat that creates temperate rainforest, full of almost luminous moss at this time of year.

I am sorry, this may hurt other #Canadian folk… But, out walking to see the damages from the atmospheric river of the past 24 hours I noticed...

budding trees & shrubs.

Is it the *best* picture I've taken? I wouldn't say that, necessarily, but it's one of the captures I'm most proud of getting, because it just has a certain fine quality to it. From just inland of Seaside, Oregon, "Sunrise in the Rainforest".

An old giant in Cathedral Grove, Vancouver Island. It was rainy in the rainforest the day I visited, surprise! This Douglas Fir is over 800 years old, and 76 m tall.
