Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

A medium shot captures a large, old-growth cedar tree trunk from a low angle. The central composition highlights the tree's verticality and the pronounced, textured bark. Light filters through the surrounding forest canopy, casting highlights and shadows across the bark and foliage, emphasizing the depth and texture of the scene. The color palette is dominated by browns and greens, creating a natural and earthy tone. Framing is tight, focusing detail.

A tall, old-growth tree towers in a lush forest setting. Its deeply textured bark is bathed in dappled sunlight filtering through the surrounding green foliage. The tree's massive trunk splits into several large branches, some covered in moss and smaller plants, emphasizing its age and the vibrant ecosystem it supports. New bright green foliage fills the lower section of the view.

A forest scene shows a weathered boardwalk path leading into a vibrant, green forest. The path, made of wooden planks, is surrounded by lush ferns and moss-covered trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating dappled light along the trail and highlighting the rich texture of the forest.

Me, standing beside a colossal cedar tree in a sun-dappled, ancient, old growth forest. The woman, dressed in a purple tank top, white pants & brown boots, leans against the tree with a walking cane. The tree's massive trunk dominates the scene, its textured bark showing its age. In the foreground, on the ground near the tree's roots, is a sign that reads "Cedar Tree of Life." Green foliage surrounds the tree, adding to the lush, natural environment.

Maybe this account will just become a landscape/sunrise/sunset account...

I spent 3.5 months here in my first #CivilDisobedience action in my teens. Which led to a lifelong commitment to protect all old growth in BC.

From 2022 Wild Salmon Flotilla Protest - to protect wild salmon & call for no more open net fish farms in BC waters.
We are in NHL Canucks' Willie Mitchell's boat. With Chief Ernest Alfred of Namgis Nation & his family. We have several protest signs & the Chief is drumming & singing.

Just an incredible morning yesterday… by 6am, we were on a boat into Clayoquot Sound. We saw 4 black bears on beaches hunting for shellfish, a “raft” of about 300 sea otters, 4 bald eagles hunting for salmon, and a pod of harbour porpoises. Overwhelmingly grateful to our guide and naturalist “Captain Eugene” at Ahous Adventures in Tofino. #TofinoBC #VancouverIsland #VancouverIslandWildlife #ClayoquotSound

35% of last #VancouverIsland #oldgrowth forests logged since 1993 #ClayoquotSound protests -- Add'l #BritishColumbia #Deforestation ➡️ 30-year span

"Fueled by #climatecrisis and exacerbated by large-scale industrial degradation of forest landscapes. Temperate old-growth rainforests are considered the most resilient and carbon-rich type of forest in B.C., with the best chance of withstanding the risk of fire, heatwaves, droughts, and floods."

An enormous #OldGrowth #cedar #tree has been identified in #VancouverIsland ’s #ClayoquotSound possibly dating back over a millennium. The western #RedCedar reaches a towering height of 46 metres and stands five metres wide at its base.

It is currently the sixth largest redcedar in #Canada - according to the #BCBigTreeRegistry 🌲

Fallen old growth cedar. Now it's a natural bridge & nurse log for new trees.

Huge roots on fallen cedar tree. It stood at over 7 feet tall.

I'm standing to the lower right, wearing purple tank top, green armband & gray backpack at the base of a giant red cedar tree. I'm looking upwards, towards the canopy.

I always #kayak w/some #toy #guardians aboard. I bring some of my figurines, on every adventure trip. I'm 47, going on 48, in February. I still enjoy toy figurines. You can retain a childlike spirit, no matter how old you grow, chronologically. Never stop being playful, because that's when your spirit dies.
