"Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" - David A. Johnston

I spent the weekend at Mount St. Helens.

                                                                Trail of Two Forests.

After a lava flow 2,000 years ago, mosses were one the first to grow providing viability and fundamentality for a newly emerging ecosystem.

Lava Canyon.

Ape Cave.

Windy Ridge.

A toppled sign at the beginning of the trail forbade traffic from the designated path as revegetation is in progress. Growth is groovy.

I love seeing the natural poetry occuring between mosses, fungi, and lichen.
