The Hemlock Grove
As often happens when working on photographs, I am reminded of Robert Frost: "The woods are lovely, dark, and deep."
You can find some of Robert Frost's work on Project Gutenberg, by the way. It's well worth reading.

Fort Nature
On Saturday morning (before this weekend's rain) I went hiking with my husband and some friends at Fort Nature Wildlife Sanctuary. I believe my favorite part of that hike is the hemlock grove you walk through, soon after crossing the electrical right-of-way. It stretches down the hillside to the shores of a pond, where the tree roots are draped in Sphagnum and the light streams into the otherwise very dim and quiet forest.

Pretty. I wonder if these are the same as our Tamarack trees. They look the same without any needles.
ReplyDeleteHm - I believe a Tamarack would be closer to our Larch trees. Hemlocks are evergreens, but they retain their leafless lower branches. The green tops happen not to be in this shot.
