[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  We are still in the Seattle area this week.  This first
image is from our visit to Mt. Rainier and a stream flowing down from snow
melt:

Another stream viewed from a road bridge:

I don't often get the room to back up enough to get an entire tree:

When a tree falls a seed has a chance to sprout:

You can just see the stump that allowed the youngish trees to grow:

Seattle has a waterfront sculpture garden with a quite interesting large
sculpture meant to remind one of ships bows.  This tree was bent in a
similar fashion:

All the best.
