A dead tree showing signs of charring. Probably struck by lightning?

White fir (Abies concolor) seems to be highly variable in appearance. These struck me as particularly beautiful, growing with Shasta Red Fir, and Mountain Hemlock.

Bethany Beach, DE - 2019
Day 1 of my adventure to bethany beach, for a photoshoot, which resulted in total disaster. The story is too long for this, so perhaps in the future, I can explain. Suffice to say, it was 3 days of hell and bonding.

A small young sapling melting a hole in the snow.
there were spiderwebs all over the forest. White lacy webs spun between leaves and trees. made me wonder if spiders shared webs, or if they minded if a neighbor spider spun a little bit of web over theirs. did they wake up in the morning and discuss the evening over coffee, chatting from one web to another?
These were the only leaves in a big area not covered in silkyness, just a ray of silky sunshine.

This ancient tree is at the treeline of this grove, but at lower elevation (3117 m) than the treeline in the Patriarch Grove.
See my bristlecone pine set for many more photos of these amazing trees.

Carex plantiginea
Cyperaceae
plantain-leaved sedge

Of the dozens of species of Carex one might encounter in forests of eastern North America, this is one of the most easily identified. Leaves are very wide for a sedge -- 3 to 5 cm -- with longitudinal pleats and a distinctive 'puckered' texture that's reminiscent of seersucker fabric. It's common in cool, moist, fertile forests. Pale stamens contrast nicely with the dark scales of the terminal male spikelets. Female spikelets are scattered along the culm; they're small in flower, but the white stigmas are visible on several here. One other forest Carex with leaves nearly this wide overlaps in habitat and distribution, but leaves of C. platyphylla have a distinctly grayish-blue cast.
