I explored Sequim Bay State Park last weekend, a beautiful spot set – where else? – along the shore of Sequim Bay. There are some beautiful campsites, and a short launching ramp. A break between storms made our stop one of those respites of lung-filling fresh air and a celebration of being outdoors. And, gee, look at those beautiful trees! Look at that great tall one there!
Maybe I shouldn’t have followed its trunk downward. These are some of its roots, exposed at the base on a bluff. I’m hoping more of them are anchored in rock, or, maybe sunk deep – way, way deep – into the soil behind it. I really do prefer trees to stay where they are.
We had a bit of a respite today, actually saw some sun! I think your tree is destined to come down though, even if it might take a bit longer.
I like the way you describe being outdoors as “a celebration.” I’ll try to remember that when Minnesota is covered with snow and ice in below zero weather.
It must be a beautiful park. I also hope the big tree stays where it is.
Wonderful photos! Out here in New Jersey that tall tree would definitely have been a gonner last week.
It’s funny, but I was stretching my neck to look up at that tree, even though it’s laying flat in your photo on my desk! I know, I’m kinda strange.
Sounds like a lovely place to take a hike. Those roots remind me of the ficus trees in south Florida which had huge roots spread all around the trunks.
I definitely prefer to look up! Nice captures of this beautiful tree. 🙂
