Vancouver Island’s rain forest …
… in a country renowned for its cold and snow,
is a marvellous green reminder
to avoid typecasts and pigeonholes.
Maybe good for pigeons, but not so much for people.
Happy Monday, everyone. Have a good week. 🙂

Wow! Beared trees! We have some small parasites in England on our trees, but nothing as spectacular as this!
Yes, heavy moss because of all the rain. Many of the trees in this rain forest are about 800 years old. Going for a walk there makes me feel really small and insignificant. The sense of time is very pronounced.
There’s really nothng to compare with ancient forests to give a sense of the passage of time, is there? You can feel it in the air, see it in the twists and bends of those ancient sentinels. Lovely!
Yes, exactly! The air is imbued with a sense of it.
It is indeed.
We always love the moss draped trees in Stanley Park, especially with sunlight shining through them. Even better if there is a mist rising. Have a great week, Lynette. Allan
Yes, so moody and mysterious. Like Hobbits might living there. 🙂
Looks enchanted. And makes me want to visit Vancouver Island. Take care.
If you have the opportunity, try to go. It is so beautiful and varied. Amazing. 🙂
Looks like something I’d want to explore, though it looks slightly dangerous. (Maybe it’s best I don’t live there. 😉)
No danger there at all. 🙂 It just looks like it could be the movie set for Raiders of the Lost Swamp. 😉 Actually, it’s an old growth rain forest of Douglas Fir; some of the trees are about 800 years old and so gigantic. No one except the wild life lives there as it’s protected.
