Tree
When the wind blows
Did you see the cow?
We have had some really strong gusts and high winds of late. This branch has been turned into logs for the fire by now but, it was still a shame to see it laying there in the fog. No damage to the house and that is the thing I was most worried about.
Thank you for all your comments and faves, they are very much appreciated. :)

The tree is more than a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

Thanks for your visits, comments and favs!!
Have a lovely Easter !
Not an extraordinary photo; I’m just a fan of big, twisted trees. I found this one at a stop on a country mountain road. It was starting to rain – not much time to get a better shot.
These trees were in the backyard of the house where Philip's son was staying and I was taking him there so I could bring my car back home... Happy Fence Friday, Everybody!!

Three days before the wedding I proclaim, demand, ok plead to have a chore free day so I could take a hike. Rachel says take me, but it has to be an easy one. OK. Sheep lake 3.5 mile out and back.... We arrive and the pristine and glorious green pool surrounded by mountains and a forest of fir and I say ok, we can go back OR we could climb over that ridge and I'll show you something really spectacular.... It's so tall she has to bend her head back, gives a wry smile as she knew Dad just set her up, but we went. Took the PCT into Sourdough gap and turned left into Mount Rainier National Park (small sign, no ticket booth) :)
The view from here is upper Chrystal Lake, the peak of the same name across the way and you guessed it, Mount Rainier. I hadn't taken the camera out of the bag, I'd been here and on a better day until this. I didn't climb the out of place rocky hill because a couple was enjoying lunch up there, so here's the one and only shot. :) she got blisters on her feet but said the view was worth it. :)
I'll put a couple pics in comments in case you are wondering what the heck I'm talking about. The second one includes the ridge we went over.
As i stand between the trees
Thoughts they blow upon the breeze
Wild thoughts, thoughts of love
Rise high into the branches above
My roots exposed for all to see
As i wait under the tree
For the return of my queen
Between the branches, wild passion seen
I absolutely love trees. The simple fact that they live longer than humans (if they are let) and they are way more complex than we generally give them credit for. Scientists have discovered that trees communicate with each other through a gigantic network of microscopic fungi (called mycelial network) that enables them to exchange information with each other such as warnings, storing memories and responding to attacks. Also the trees and the fungi form a symbiotic relationship where they exchange resources such as organic matter and minerals. I think that is amazing and while I always loved trees, this understanding enhances my respect and admiration for them.
