I paid a visit to my favourite Beech tree again today. It was misty and cold, but its roots stretched out towards me like a warm, welcoming hand, covered in a carpet of moss

Since you guys like this tree as much as I do, here it is in Summer, the gnarly trunk leading us up to a canopy of leaves that are shrouded in mist.

@DrLygo Beautiful photo. Do you have one of it in fall, with the gold leaves? You can see that beaches inspired Tolkien's mallorn trees.

@DrLygo Sadly, Henry Cowell State park is a small and heavily visited protected zone (Near Santa Cruz, CA). So straying off the path is discouraged. Historically, women's groups played key roles in protecting these areas from logging. https://scholarworks.unr.edu/bitstream/handle/11714/8220/Knoll_unr_0139M_13782.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

@abejaclaustro They really are. And the soft crunch of the husks on the ground when you walk beneath them, adds to it all. Wonderful all round
