photos from the caren

took some photos today in the caren range high above sechelt inlet. as i noted in a previous post, the caren cedar stands are believed to be the oldest forest on the west coast with a few ancient cedars that were saved from being cut a few years back. i took a ton of photos with my not-so-good digital camera. (one of these days i’ve really got to invest in something better). thought i would share a few in any case….

high above the inlet – even high above the clouds – you can see there is lots of snow on the ground up here

nathan took this photo – these are hemlocks, about 500 years old

if you look down at the base of the tree, you can see me standing beside it – this yellow cedar is likely 1000 years old

rusting ferns by the side of the road, the evening light gave them a really rich colour
