THANK YOU for these lovely photos, from Sarahkate in western Oregon (Corvallis area). You must have spent many years perfecting your photography skills esp. when the cloudy bright days paired with rainy trees and ferns/mosses are the subjects. Curious if these photos were taken in Lincoln Park in West Seattle? I have fond childhood memories of Lincoln Park and if that off-the-beaten-path wooded trail is still there that truly thrills my heart.
Happy Thanksgiving back at the two of you. One of the major differences with your forest and ours is the near total lack of undergrowth. Here it seems very odd to see a nearly bare forest floor having grown up with the lush ferns,moss and lichen of the Northwest.
That tree fungus is called ‘Horse’s hoof’ here. I did a post on it some years ago. Love the drip of water!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks! I always intend to look the names of things up but rarely do! 🙂
Here it is.

The ones I saw look a bit frillier than the horse’s hoof. I think it might be this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trametes_versicolor
I think you are dead right. I thought they were ‘baby’ horse’s hoofs, but they are the ones you found. 🙂
At least you prompted me to look it up! Thanks! 🙂
Gotta love ferns and mosses! Gorgeous!
Yes, indeed! Thanks so much! 🙂

Thanks so much for your comment! I took these pictures at Flaming Geyser State Park, south of Seattle near Black Diamond.
Beautiful. It is so lush and green compared to the high desert where we live in SW Colorado.
Thank you.

Thank you. That would be different. to see a bare forest floor!
Happy Thanksgiving! Love the photos, I’m missing the Pacific Northwest.
Thank you so much! Come back anytime!
We are actually looking at coming back to visit Mt. Rainier or the North Cascades!
Both are wonderful!
Wow, Susanne, beautiful shots! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
