Moss-covered branches and layers of ferns in the Quinault Rainforest on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.

I really liked the natural arch formed by this old tree. Such a beautiful area to explore. 🌿📷

A large, moss-covered tree in the Quinault Rainforest on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Its thick trunk rises from a forest floor covered in ferns, with heavy branches arching overhead and extending to the right. Long strands of moss hang from the branches beneath a dense canopy of bright green leaves. Soft, filtered light illuminates the lush forest. The scene felt quiet, sheltered, and peaceful. Tall, moss-covered trees rise through a dense old-growth forest in the Quinault Rainforest on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Thick green moss hangs from the trunks and branches, while layers of ferns and low vegetation cover the forest floor. Soft daylight filters through the canopy, revealing the textures of the bark and moss and creating depth between the trees. The forest felt peaceful and undisturbed. A massive old-growth tree stands in the Quinault Rainforest on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Its broad trunk is covered in thick green moss, with large, exposed roots spreading outward across the forest floor. Tall trees and dense green vegetation surround it, while soft daylight filters through the canopy. The enormous trunk and roots emphasize the size and age of the tree. The scene felt quiet and impressive.

#TuesdayTree Just in time for #Halloween, a spooky forest shot! Fungus & other factors contribute to the bulbous burls on the trees in the forest here. What do you see?

"Autumn River," #digitalpleinair. Another one of the #dungenessriver, featuring a rootball as a focal point. I should learn I don't always have to paint what's there.

Sending acrylic paintings of Tongue Point, Washington to @brassworksgallery for the postcard show. The sea life on the rocks was diverse and densely packed. I had never seen such a large colony of mussels in the wild in my life.

The “I’e’nis/Ennis Creek” mural on the side of the Feiro Marine Life Center at City Pier in Port Angeles depicts the S'Klallam village near the mouth of Ennis Creek in the 1840s and the other half is the Cooperate Colony in 1887.

Almost a million birds flew over Clallam County in one night. A local volunteer says flipping off your porch light could save some of them.

A glacial-blue lake held between steep forested ridges, low cloud lying along the far slopes and breaking up into thin white bands overhead against deep blue sky. The water is still enough to mirror the hills and clouds. In the foreground, a gravel shore with bleached driftwood.
