In reply to Colin Beale. Oh wow. Yes, that too would be worth a lengthy pilgrimage!

Very nice! One to add to the list is surely the rainbow eucalyptus – a quick google image search will show quite how absurd this tree is!

In reply to marja-leena. Thanks, Marja-Leena. Yes, the Pacific Northwest is certainly a tree-lover's paradise (or used to be, at any rate). I hope to get out there again some day.

In reply to Miguel Arboleda.

We create deserts. That is what we do, it seems, as a species.

Thanks for reading. I hope you’re able to get out and do some hiking this year — your photo essays about hikes in the mountains are the best.

I love it when you talk about your neck of the woods. There aren’t many people I know who know their habitat quite as well as you do.

This concrete world I inhabit all the time now is definitely not the world I would choose to live in. Little life, everything controlled buy people. What is a world exclusive to humans? A desert… but not the kind of desert Abbey loved.

Wonderful little stories about your visitors’ reactions to a natural forest, and great photos as always. One of the things I love about living here on the west coast are the big trees. Sure, some of the forests are now second-growth….
