It's hot, no matter what. So today's photos are in pure summer colors. Stay cool where it's sizzling.

Growth is possible even in conditions that seem impossible.
This past weekend I met up with @morgancarmont to go explore the forests of #VancouverIsland. To say we had an epic weekend would be an understatement.
Amongst our many adventures, we found a new #oldgrowthforest to explore and I had to take a photo in front of one - the size of them is just incomprehensible otherwise. For reference, I am over 187cm tall. This single Big Leaf Maple is easily 5m+ diameter at its base.

Lovely Tree Costa Rica
I liked this #tree at #Trebah yesterday. #TreeTuesday (is that a thing? It is now).
"Wild Green Yonder" for #ThickTrunkTuesday
The evergreen oaks of Southern California have been a favorite photography subject of mine for a long time. This beautiful specimen is a Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) at Hollenbeck Canyon near Jamul in San Diego County.

I might need to start taking more pictures of trees so I have images for #TreeTuesday.
Don't get me wrong, I like to photograph trees, but doing good woodlands photography can be tough! Definitely room for improvements, both in seeing the scenes and capturing them in an interesting manner.

It's February and it was 75F/24C. I know we have those days here in GA, but I don't want summer now. At least Kengo seemed to like the bright early evening sun for #TreeTuesday #ThickTrunkTuesday .
Temperate rainforests are a rare and beautiful ecosystem where trees, ferns, mosses, lichens, liverworts, and other species abound. The cool damp climate provides a globally unique environment for plants and animals to thrive. Where it once covered 20% of the UK, it is now less than 1%.
2/2 the #Fediverse has it's own unspoken rules. I'm hoping others here can help me out together a proper list - in the context of photographers - that would be good to know whenever they do join.
So far I have:
- Adding Alt text to images
- Day of the Week photo games e.i. #TreeTuesday and #MountainMonday etc.
- #Pixelfed vs #Mastodon and how the fediverse works with account tags and servers
- Public vs Quiet Public vs Private messages.
- CamelCase and why
What else should I cover?
For #TreeTuesday I present a recent shot I took on Film. This time with #Kodak 125xp which is no longer in production!
This massive ample is over 6ft at its base, and easily stands more than 70ft tall. One of the few accessible old growth forests I know of in the PNW. An absolutely humbling experience to see such enormous trees.
