[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  I am still working through my hikes in the Ranier and
Cascade National Forests.  Our first image is of a tree blown down long ago
and the root ball exposed:

Another bit of downed tree with alien growths feeding on it:

Surprisingly in a largely coniferous forest we have a deciduous tree
growing:

Evidently there was a powerful windstorm that knocked down a lot of trees:

Sometimes when you are out hiking in the Cascades it rains on your head:

I believe this is the site of a controlled burn and the new growth in the
rain:

All the best.
