Are you ready for an installment post about our British Columbia vacation? Yeah, I thought so! My working schedule puts a severe dent into my blogging time, so your continued patience is appreciated.
On one of the tour days, we visited the town of Bella Coola, located on the mid-coastal area of the province. With an average of 90 inches of rain a year, we stood a pretty good chance of encountering rain. Travel luck wasn’t with us for this day’s excursion, so the camera had to be tucked away most of the time.
One of the places we visited was an ancient cedar forest on the edge of town. There was enough shelter from the giant trees to allow me to take a few pictures. A simple pathway quickly leads to into natural solitude. It is impossible for my photos to truly capture the beauty and the grandeur of this old forest. It has borne witness to the passage of time and changing of countless seasons.With diameters up to five feet wide, one feels quite dwarfed in comparison to the stature of these magnificent trees. And as you walk along, you almost expect woodland creatures, both mythical and real, to suddenly appear.
Among the immensity of the moss-covered timber, extra care has to be taken to also admire forest details along the trail.
Wonderful, Donna. Thank you! There is nothing like walking through a dense forest. The sheer massiveness of the trees puts one in awe of God's creation! I love that in your post, just as you declare that you might expect some woodland creatures to appear, there pops up Marty, chewing, on the right hand side. Well done!
