POTD CHALLENGE: FLOWERS

From my hike to Twin Falls on Saturday. This shot was an after-thought, almost not taken just because this is an every-day scene in a NW forest. This is sooc. Tall trees above and ferns below, and old-growth everywhere.
Ferns growing on the side of an old-growth tree: Also sooc.
Another "just forest" shot, sooc, with the kind of "remains" that woodpeckers love:

These are just incredibly beautiful. Love the green!

ML, so nice! Love the bokeh on the fern-bedecked trunk; it's a perfect offset to the browns of the fronds. You're right; these shots are so everyday typical that we tend to overlook them.

I always said if I couldn't live in Colorado (which I do), I'd live there...I love how green everything is all the time. Beautiful!

One of my favorite things in the world to do is walk through the forest. Thanks for taking me on your hike virtually. :-)

I just love how you shot those trees...it is perfect composition to draw your eye into the photo, and then take a walk through all of them!

Cheers,
