  1. What a beautiful old tree. I bet it could tell a thousand stories…

    • We found an old growth stand of Douglas fir trees and this wasn’t the biggest one but it had such a beautiful crown…I had to step off my horse and go and hug it. Hugging a big old wise tree like this one is like hugging a kind grandfather. So special. I will go back and visit this tree in this glade of giants as often as I can.

  2. An amazing old tree and a lovely hug of hope that they will continue to thrive despite how we’ve forgotten about caring for them.

    • This was a beautiful tree in a stand of giant Douglas firs. Sadly, it was the only one still alive. All the rest were enormous — bigger than this one — and standing dead.
