Ponderosa Pine

My favourite tree bark of today's walk was this beautiful twisting Swamp Paperbark.

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.

So I’ve learned I’ll never develop the habit of posting my every moment on social media. It’s just not in me and not a way I want to live. I’m way too busy getting inspired by what’s around me to remember to record and share it all…

These are textures of trees, believe it or not—all Redwoods from the Sequoia Zoo in Eureka, CA. I can’t wait to use these somehow!

The many colours of eucalyptus bark.
