This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.

Vertical, eye-level shot. A colossal cedar tree with rough, vertically ridged bark is centered, filling most of the frame. The tree is surrounded by green trees, partially out of focus, creating depth of field. Sunlight filters through the leaves. The tree texture contrast strongly against with the leafy foliage.

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.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.

#MosstodonMonday

Young #cedar #tree is all dressed in magnificent #mosses & #lichen
One of the lovely sights you can see & admire, while exploring the coastal temperate rainforests in BC.

A dense, verdant forest scene featuring a prominent cedar tree trunk with branches heavily draped in long, hanging moss. The moss creates a sense of depth and an enchanted atmosphere. The scene is dominated by shades of green and brown, with filtered light creating soft shadows

Pixie cup & lipstick #lichens & #liverwort mixed in with assorted #mosses. Super green microworlds
Just another ecological component of a healthy & biodiverse, coastal temperate rainforest ecosystem on #Wsanec territory.

Full shot of vibrant green and brown mosses and lichen up close. Foreground displays needle-like mosses among leafy liverworts and stalk-shaped lichen in intricate detail. Dynamic lighting highlights varying textures and densities. A nature photograph, focusing on the intricate details of a micro ecosystem.

#FoliageFriday

From yesterday.
#Columbine foliage is emerging.
#Iris heads are pushing up.

A high-angle shot of a circular arrangement of small, bright green columbine leaves with rounded edges, with water droplets sitting on the top leaves. The image is tightly cropped. Background is blurred with dark soil and blurred green foliage. The leaves have defined veins, with contrast between light and shadow.

A close-up ground-level angled view captures the early stages of bearded iris plants sprouting from rich brown soil sprinkled with moss. The plants have long, pointed leaves with hints of burgundy near the base. A weathered wooden fence runs horizontally in the background, partially obscured by newer plant growth, creating a scene of renewal and growth against a rustic backdrop.

Unnamed #creek running through the coastal temperate #rainforest

A serene view of a dense, moss-covered forest. A shallow stream flows through the foreground, lined with vibrant green ferns. Trees of varying sizes reach upwards towards an overcast sky; their trunks and branches are covered in thick moss. A fallen log is visible across the stream. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and damp

Attention: #BritishColumbia peoples.
The invasive #GoldenMussel has been found in California & we need to keep our eyes open for them appearing on our beaches & shorelines.
These can easily grip on to cargo ships & transported without anyone noticing, into BC waters. They got to North America via attaching on cargo ships.

Please read about them & learn to identify them. Report to DFO & your local marine authorities, if you spot them anywhere in BC.

Gordon Beach, #Tsouke / #Sooke.

Great place to look for nifty rocks or just relax & enjoy the ocean energies. I've found some dallacites there in the past. It's usually really empty on weekdays. You can get a fire license from Sooke FD to have beach fires here too.

Wide shot of a pebble beach. Foreground filled with smooth, rounded rocks in various shades of gray and tan. Midground shows white-crested waves and sparkling turquoise ocean extending to the horizon, partially obscuring far away mountains. Sky is partly cloudy. The composition uses a low vantage point emphasizing the pebble texture.

"I was here." - Beaver

Very clear evidence of #beavers activity. You can see their many chew marks on this stump. This is in a small #Saanich community park, stewarded by citizens who live beside little Calvert Lake.

Access to trails is off of Prospect Lake Rd & easy to miss if you're not paying close attention. Only room for 2 cars to park on roadside pullouts. The trails aren't very well maintained & you can easily get lost around them. I've ended up in someone's backyard once, trying to hike back out. Wear long pants because there's a lot of places you have to bushwhack through along tiny footpaths. Lots of salal, Oregon grape, lady ferns (excellent for fiddleheads harvesting) & mushrooms.

Medium shot of a tree stump displaying beaver tooth marks taken outdoors in a forest setting. The stump is centered in the frame with green foliage filling the background & surrounding the base. The top part of the stump has jagged, light-colored marks indicative of beaver activity. Below is bark with a dark-colored & heavily textured wood.

#lichen this cool, mossy #forest #tree character

A pair of aviator-style sunglasses with gold frames & dark, reflective lenses rests on a tree trunk covered in vibrant green moss & beardlike lichen. The sunglasses reflect the surrounding forest trees & a patch of light sky. Sunlight dapples the moss, creating a sense of a serene, woodland setting.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

The image features the base of a massive yellow cedar tree in a dense forest. The ancient tree's thick, textured bark is heavily coated in green moss & lichen, in the damp, old-growth environment. Small ferns & leafy green plants grow around the base of the tree. Other trees are visible in the background, further highlighting the forest setting. The perspective is from a low angle, emphasizing the tree's size & imposing presence.

En route to pharmacy to pickup prescription refills. A #SelfPortrait in the car.

A black & white selfie photo of me wearing a white N95 face mask with the handwritten message "COVID KILLED MY DAD" accompanied by a small heart drawn above it. I'm wearing a black hat with a sticker that says "BOYCOTT ISRAEL APARTHEID". A braid is visible on the side of my face. I'm sitting in side a car and looking out through the car window. The background is blurred, implying movement of car. I'm wearing a black leather choker with a hollow metal heart centered.

The Trump regime's axe is falling on many of NOAA's sites in the Pacific Northwest.

' “Individuals can tell us they’ve been fired, but as soon as they’re gone they’re cut off from their NOAA accounts,” the employee said. “It’s cold. These are our colleagues and their lives are being completely upended. Years of work are going down the drain and for what?” '
