About Me
- PERBS
- WELCOME to my blog. I hope you will return often.
I am on my third digital camera, all Olympus. I enjoy using it and sharing my photos. I also enjoy writing. I hope to share a little of each on this blog. My main blog is Postcards From the Northwest.
Kerri and I will continue to add benches to "For the Love of Benches Continued . . . " blog also. It is good to continue to share with her!
Continuation of the Kiggins House Re-model photos were lost when my computer crashed.
The latest city project, TURTLE PLACE, will unfold here as I have time to add photos. It is complete and maybe I can find enough photos someday to show you the final results. Next project after the two I am working on now. . .
Blogs I enjoy

Each tree has a personality, a shape that suggests a spirit of some sort. These are just amazing.
I think it's clever how you've titled this series and found so many picturesque nooks and crannies where creatures live.
The roots, stumps and old limbs are stunning, Paulie! I'd love to take my camera there. ;-)
Such personality coming from the wood! The word that comes to my mind is "perseverance."
The trees and their carcasses always feel like kin-folks to me.
I wonder why there are so much fallen and broken trees.. Was there a storm or something? Some just look like ghosts, they seem to be suffring, like lost souls...
In answer to Malyss's question--or wondering, that is--Lots of things can cause the snags and logs and stumps. Mt. Rainier gets a tremendous amount of snow, and the weight of the snow can break off a tree. Lightning strikes are another cause. Evergreen trees have a very shallow root system, and if a tree nearby is compromised, then it can make it difficult for another to avoid a fall. Those are just a couple of reasons.
Because it is the national parka and the philospohy is to preserve natural processes, the snags, logs and fallen trees are left in place, for the most part. They are cut away if they interfere with trails or are a hazard.
