Wanderin' Weeta
@WWeeta@flipping.rocks  ·  activity timestamp 3 days ago

Bottom of the forest in a gentle rain. Salal, trunks, moss, huckleberry on a stump. New blog post: https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2025/09/view-from-forest-understory.html #VancouverIsland #Forests #Plants #Landscapes #Nature

View from the forest understory

Nature blog, focused on beaches, intertidal invertebrates, insects and spiders, birds, and plants of British Columbia, Canada.
A view of an evergreen forest from knee-height. The understory is covered with bright green native shrubs, mostly salal (Gualtheria shallon) and a few huckleberry (Vaccinium Parvifolium) bushes. Above  that, are the deep brown, straight trunks of evergreen trees, mostly Douglas-fir; as the view lengthens we see a few shorter trees, carrying their evergreen needles at this level. On the right, there's an old, well-rotted stump; on top, a huckleberry bush grows; it's small, bright leaves are highlighted against the dark brown wood of the tree behind it.
