Trees and more Trees

This root wad along the shore of Ward Lake in Ketchikan caught Christina's eye.

These Western Hemlock branches fan out like tailfeathers on a peacock.

There are many trees around Ward Lake like this Sitka Spruce that started growing on top of a large stump. As the old stump decomposed and the new tree grew, a void was formed where the old stump once sat. This results in some interesting features, such as this kick stand supporting a large spruce, a hemlock and part of another spruce.

There was no shortage of large spruce around our campground. Directly across from our campsite these two large spruce were close enough together to give Quent a chance to pose for this shot.
