There is art in the forest no matter where you look.

I had a beautiful day to get out to the woods this week. Here are a few picture to share. No particular theme this time. I haven’t posted a lot of forestry lately, so it’s time to get my groove on. Just click on the gallery to enlarge the pictures

I love my commute. The mountain road is framed by big gray pine.
Bully Choop rises above the surrounding mountains.
Naked oaks
Mt Shasta to the North is the highest point in Northern California.
Big pine on the ridge.
The delimber sits in the landing making logs all day.
One lane only, so pull off and yield the right of way. There’s a future house on the back of that truck.
Knobcone pine waiting to open. They can wait for decades sheltering the seeds inside.
This unit was logged three years ago and is now a young forest.
Douglas-fir and Ponderosa pine seedling planted three years ago.
An alder tree was cut out of the road and it was striking how orange the wood was.

Thank you for coming along.

    • I glad you enjoyed the post Anna. I would love to see your high country, what a treat that would be. The orange wood really caught my attention, because I don’t recall the alder wood looking so bright. I’ll have to pay closer attention in the future. If I had my chainsaw with me I would have whacked a piece off. Maybe when I go back up.

  2. Tim,
    I love the beauty of the forest in winter. The naked trees and those with brown leaves clinging on contrast with the lush pines. Winter provides the forest artist a pallet of gray, brown, green, and an occasional surprise, like your pumpkin orange rings. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your world.

    • My commute are usually pretty nice, if you don’t mind getting stuck in the mud and snow now and then. We are blessed here with such diversity in our landscapes. The fresh air is wonderful, except when the woods are on fire!

  5. “I love my commute.” A rare statement for sure. 🙂 Your pictures and appreciation for beauty in all nature has made me look around at the outdoors around my area with different eyes. The different textures in tree bark is amazing.

  6. Yes, the texture at the woods, leaves and flowers are like a beautiful masterpieces. I enjoy to capture its tiniest texture details with my camera. My husband doesn’t understand and laughing that I am not an artist. I am a visual artist who is trying to capture every texture details for my photography and drawings. It is necessary as a drawing reference and can implement it in photoshop, and maya software 😉

  11. Reblogged this on Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt for å såre i vrede For du skal ikke alene mer vandre. De skal klemme og kose og aldri klandre De skal skjerme deg for det du ikke selv ser. De skal elske og aldri forakte – bare hjelpe når du ber. Disse hendene skal jobbe for at dere skal få det godt De skal gi – og du skal takke for det du har fått. De skal tvinnes sammen i kjærlighet og være ømme og gode og et tegn på inderlighet Hendene du holder er sterke og unge De skal gjennom mye for din skyld når dagene er tunge De skal stryke og klemme og være gode og fromme De skal ruske i ditt hår og takke når dagen er omme Disse hendene skal følge deg gjennom livet. De skal holde fast ved deg og verne om samlivet De skal være hos deg når alle andre har gått De skal aldri slippe men holde fast og tørke tårer når du har grått. Hendene skal bære din ring med rette Den skal skinne og for alle berette Jeg elsker deg! – kan den bekjenne Det er bare en som har maken til denne En dag er hendene blitt ru og grå Hver fure og rynke forteller om livet som bak dere lå Dere kan minnes den dagen i dag – da et livslangt bånd Ble knyttet Og fra denne dag dere gikk Hånd i hånd..
