#ThrowbackThursday
4 years ago, I first met this gentle giant.
It's one of the only older Western red #cedar #trees left at #W̱MÍYEŦEN #NatureSanctuary. Most of the land had been logged more than once before it was acquired for conservation & rewilding. This is a 2nd growth cedar & it is over 150 yrs old.

The W̱MÍYEŦEN #Nature Sanctuary is a 42 acre protected forest and riparian area ​that supports biodiversity while preserving ecosystems and wildlife habitat. The tranquil natural environment, inspires an awareness of nature as teacher and essential ally.

I'm a member of this local, biodiverse nature sanctuary. They mainly rely on memberships & public donations. They work with #Indigenous leaders/educators/naturalists from #Wsanec First Nations. The name was changed from the former Mary Lake Sanctuary to W̱MÍYEŦEN Nature Sanctuary to respect that the property is on native lands.

Me, in bright pink cargo pants standing in a damp forest, gently touching the massive trunk of an old-growth tree. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling across the bark. I have a colorful backpack, a baseball cap & pearl dangle earrings & holding a walking stick. Green moss grows on the lower part of the tree trunk & its branches. The surrounding forest is thick with other trees & foliage.

Gordon Beach, #Tsouke / #Sooke.

Great place to look for nifty rocks or just relax & enjoy the ocean energies. I've found some dallacites there in the past. It's usually really empty on weekdays. You can get a fire license from Sooke FD to have beach fires here too.

Wide shot of a pebble beach. Foreground filled with smooth, rounded rocks in various shades of gray and tan. Midground shows white-crested waves and sparkling turquoise ocean extending to the horizon, partially obscuring far away mountains. Sky is partly cloudy. The composition uses a low vantage point emphasizing the pebble texture.

"I was here." - Beaver 🦫🌲

Very clear evidence of #beavers activity. You can see their many chew marks on this stump. This is in a small #Saanich community park, stewarded by citizens who live beside little Calvert Lake.

Access to trails is off of Prospect Lake Rd & easy to miss if you're not paying close attention. Only room for 2 cars to park on roadside pullouts. The trails aren't very well maintained & you can easily get lost around them. I've ended up in someone's backyard once, trying to hike back out. Wear long pants because there's a lot of places you have to bushwhack through along tiny footpaths. Lots of salal, Oregon grape, lady ferns (excellent for fiddleheads harvesting) & mushrooms.

Medium shot of a tree stump displaying beaver tooth marks taken outdoors in a forest setting. The stump is centered in the frame with green foliage filling the background & surrounding the base. The top part of the stump has jagged, light-colored marks indicative of beaver activity. Below is bark with a dark-colored & heavily textured wood.

5 years ago.
I found this cool, lean-to survival shelter, while out on a day hike around some #Wsanec forests. It was an unexpected find. Not really suited for a really big person - I'm under 5' & had to stoop a bit to walk into it.

Me, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, jacket & jeans standing in a makeshift shelter built between two large trees. The shelter is constructed with branches & pine boughs. I'm holding a wooden walking stick & smiling at the camera. The image is in black & white, giving it a slightly nostalgic or documentary feel. The ground is covered in grass, leaves & small branches.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

The image features the base of a massive yellow cedar tree in a dense forest. The ancient tree's thick, textured bark is heavily coated in green moss & lichen, in the damp, old-growth environment. Small ferns & leafy green plants grow around the base of the tree. Other trees are visible in the background, further highlighting the forest setting. The perspective is from a low angle, emphasizing the tree's size & imposing presence.

I’ve been remiss. I need to apologize. This week I will attend a highlight of my year and I haven’t shared it with you yet. #AgileOpenNorthwest begins Mar 5 near Seattle. Though as the #openspacetechnology principle says, “It starts when it starts.” It started for me yesterday when we planned a topic to add to the #marketplace. It continues today as I pack (stickers? Books? Learning tools?…) & tomorrow in the carpool north. You can come too. #pnw #cascadia agileopennorthwest.org #register
