As you can see, this shit's been down a while, and it's covered with young vines, however, you can also see that the wood is still good and there are 4 logs in this one little site alone, actually there is more there, it continues to the right.
Here are some more fallen trees, and on the larger of the two logs, there is a lot of rot on the outside, but the center was still good. And yes, there are 4 downed huge chunks of timber just sitting there beside the path.
This too lies along that same path, but at least here it is neatly set out of the way.
This one just had me doing face-palms over and over again. This is cut by a chainsaw, it's not natural and not needed for light, so what's up?
This is just a bigger badder picture of the one above, but it makes me wonder. There was not even 20 feet between some of these. This "waste wood" should be offered up to artists and such to see what can be reclaimed. However; I don't think I'll be waiting on that invitation; I'll just help myself.
I also found a new view of my forest spirit that I first found when I went on that exploratory journey to seek out my secret garden.
However, the main reason why I went to the forest was to collect some items to make a broom.
I think that my special broom grotto is visited by another much like myself. There is a rock balancer who comes here and leaves their little shrines up beneath the boughs of the towering arbutus. They are set upon green moss, or the slate grey boulders that dominate that quiet little corner overlooking WestWood Lake. Today, all those were knocked down and more of the broom was scattered about. It may have been the wind, but I suspect boots of mischief would be a more appropriate guess.
Anyways, I'll be busy the next couple of days, to a week. There are some spells to finish up, some stock to build up, some crafts to play with and pictures to take. I suspect there will be more forays into the wood to gather some of the wood for making boxes and what not, that should keep me busy over the winter.
You have lovely place here to wander. You clearly find the magic in it all.
