Northwest Wanderer Posted May 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nature is ready to reclaim this fine old tree. The insects and woodpeckers have had their way with this giant. A Screech-Owl will soon be without a nesting tree. Welcome, dear visitor!

Northwest Wanderer Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks Karl, Paul & Al. I enjoy walking in the old growth forests around here. Logging is king in the Northwest but old stands of trees like the one pictured are of no value as lumber. I find them priceless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted May 19, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 19, 2013 Bill , very nice angle shooting but I think this tree will die. It is sad Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted May 19, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks Henry, The tree will return to the earth it originated from. These old trees take on a new beauty as they decay. I'd estimate it lived about 200 years. That's a good life. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
