This rusted metal was pulled from the river. It is most likely a piece of a stove lost when a home went into the river. We have placed it at the bottom of a large Douglas Fir. The other plants are a Sword Fern and a couple of wild Huckleberry bushes.
Steve brought a Hydrangea plant up and it seems to love the acidic soil...the source of the blue.
There are very interesting stumps around the property. Unfortunately we lost quite a few of them when we had the land cleared to build the cabin, but there are still some around. The Huckleberry bushes thrive growing out of these stumps. On the stump in the front, you will notice a notch on the right side of the stump. That notch allowed a logger to put a board in the notch to stand on and cut the tree at a higher level.
The early morning sun filtering through the trees makes for a very peaceful setting.
A Douglas Fir seedling makes an interesting shadow.
The path leading out to the fire pit. Steve is usually the first one to rise in the morning. And to all those that follow, we are usually greeted by a nice fire and fresh coffee.
