Please enjoy & excuse my not smiling face.
I wanted to show folks that nature never wastes anything. I wanted to show how this dead tree is feeding new life growths & how many animals benefit from us letting nature do its thing.
I saw this huge Douglas fir tree trunk on our way back to parking spot.
When I first saw it - shouted out - LOOK AT THAT! They are WOOD SHORTS!
Then, my friend took a pic of me with the big wood shorts.
Nadene, standing on old growth big leaf maple tree stump. I loved the gooseneck thick branch that extends out. There's huckleberry, cedar, big leaf maple & Douglas fir babies growing out of the stump.
