For #TreeTuesday, enjoy this virtual cornucopia of fall aspen colors from late last September in the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado.

Growth is possible even in conditions that seem impossible.

#treetuesday Indian Horse Chestnut - flowers later in the season than Horse Chestnut, and has greater resistance to leaf minor. #wollatonpark

This past weekend I met up with @morgancarmont to go explore the forests of #VancouverIsland. To say we had an epic weekend would be an understatement.

Amongst our many adventures, we found a new #oldgrowthforest to explore and I had to take a photo in front of one - the size of them is just incomprehensible otherwise. For reference, I am over 187cm tall. This single Big Leaf Maple is easily 5m+ diameter at its base.

Lime Tree Avenue. Originally planted circa 1700, with some current trees dating back to 1840.

"Glowing" #TreeTuesday

Evening light filters through coastal fog and gives a gently glow to coastal sage scrub and Torrey Pine trees in Del Mar, California.

In my photo blog I have three photos from an excellent hike in excellent "bad" weather, last weekend. :)

Lovely Tree Costa Rica

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.
