I have always admired the ability of life to find a way: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/tenacious.jpg.html Probably blown down by the wind, I wonder how long this tree has been decomposing: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/nurse+log.jpg.html If you go off trail in the forest, it can get pretty gloomy: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/even+third+growth+can+be+gloomy.jpg.html Probably second growth: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/unmanaged+with+deadwood.jpg.html Even in favorable conditions it is hard to grow on granite: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/wide+view+foothills+of+Ranier.jpg.html I don't know what caused this sinkhole, there is no tree remains if it is what is left of a root ball: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/sinkhole.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
