A nice bench to sit and enjoy the fantastical landscape of El Moro Elfin Forest near Morro Bay, California.

#ECK #Hiking #ElfinForest #MorroBay #LandscapePhotography #Photography #WestCoastKin
A wooden boardwalk leads to a wooden bench set in the middle of fantastical, extremely-twisted pygmy oak trees with lace lichen hanging from their branches. The trees are all so short due to the sandy soil and adjacent estuary in Morro Bay, California.

El Moro Elfin Forest is all very old and tangled dwarf oak trees.

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #WestCoastKin #ElfinForest #MorroBay #LosOsos #DwarfTrees
The image has multiple tangled, dwarf oak trees with vines and poison oak covering the ground around them. One tree in the foreground frames the image, and as we look through the frame, we see all the tangled trees and vines. El Moro Elfin Forest (just called Elfin Forest) in Los Osos/Morro Bay, California. The trees are all very old, but never grew upwards much. Instead they branched out to the sides.

Rebirth in the Elfin Forest, Los Osos, California.

A tight shot of intertwined, dead roots and branches of oak trees with two small, bright green ferns growing from the rich brown soil. Some pale green lace lichen is hanging down at the top left of the image. El Moro Elfin Forest in Los Osos/Morro Bay, California. The entire trail is a boardwalk (not visible in the image).

A closeup of bright green fern fronds fill the frame, with one small brown frond in the upper right corner. These ferns are very common in this area (Central Coast, California). Dryopteris arguta (coastal wood fern) found in El Moro Elfin Forest, Los Osos, California.

Morro Bay estuary seen from Elfin Forest in Los Osos, California.

#ECK #Scape #MorroBayEstuary #ElfinForest #Wildflowers #LandscapePhotography #WestCoastKin #MorroBay
Looking over the Morro Bay estuary from a bluff in Elfin Forest, Los Osos. Yellow wildflowers grow between us and a fence made of rusty metal stakes and green plastic netting. Below we see the estuary of spotty pockets of water stretched over a very large area. The coastline from our location curves outward towards the sea, creating a nice line for the eye to follow to the city of Los Osos across the bay. Fog in the area is in the process of burning off, but it's still difficult to see the sand dunes out.

A couple of benches on which to sit and take in the twisted dwarf oak trees of the Elfin Forest in Morro Bay/Los Osos.

#ECK #EastCoastKin #Hiking #DwarfTrees #ElfinForest #WestCoastKin
A boardwalk leads to two benches sitting on a rectangular deck. To reach the benches, you need to duck and wind your way through the twisted, horizontally sprawling dwarf oak trees that are hundreds of years old but not very tall. Around the boardwalk and deck are more tangled, twisted trees. El Moro Elfin Forest in Los Osos, bordering on Morro Bay, California

Boardwalk trail in the El Moro Elfin Forest. It passes through the dwarf oak trees and also goes to the bluff's edge overlooking the Morro Bay National Estuary. Way in the distance, across the bay are sand dunes.

A boardwalk passes through low vegetation as it leads to the bluffs overlooking the Morro Bay National Estuary. Way in the distance, across Morro Bay, you can see the sun starting to break through the clouds and illuminate the sand dunes that run along the Bay. The dunes help define the bay from the ocean.

El Moro Elfin Forest in Los Osos, California. The oak trees are stunted in growth, despite being hundreds of years old.

#ECK #ElfinForest #DwarfTrees #Trees #Hiking #WestCoastKin #MorroBay
The image shows an old, sprawling oak tree that hugs the ground and twists and turns in unusual directions. The tree in the foreground has one very large burl in its trunk. There are many trees in this location, but it's difficult to distinguish individual trees; they are all tangled together. The ground of the forest is covered with green ferns. The name "Elfin Forest" comes from the short stature of the Coast Live Oaks, which grow as tall as 50 feet elsewhere in Los Osos. Here they are stunted by the local environment. Despite being centuries old, these oaks range from a high of 20 feet in sheltered areas to a low of 4 feet near the tallest ridge line.

El Moro Elfin Forest near Morro Bay and Estuary.

A tight shot of a variety of organic elements found in Elfin Forest, Morro Bay. There are some small bright green ferns growing near dead branches of twisted oak trees. The trees in Elfin Forest are all pygmy in size and very twisted due to the sandy soil and location next to the estuary. Pale green lace lichen is hanging in the upper right corner of the image. The trees in Elfin forest have a lot of lace lichen, adding to the mystique of this special forest. Elfin Forest in Los Osos, California.
