When this area was logged many years ago, the :"slash" was burned. This large tree trunk shows the end result.

The peeling skin of birch trees makes excellent material for starting a small coffee-fire in the bush. I always took chunks off of them and pocketed it for later use.Unfortunately I have little or no birch around me here.

I found this interesting lichen with a diameter of about 9 " diagonally, near Little river ferry terminal.I'm curious how long it takes for one to grow.

Lichen are a complex combination of two organisms, an ALGA and a FUNGUS, living in a symbiotic association.They have always fascinated me.
