Masterpiece
Dan Robinson invited me to go up to Vancouver Island collecting with Peter Wilson and George Heffelfinger. We just got back. We went to two alpine bogs the first two days, and a lowland bog the third day.
Altogether, I got 11 trees, two of which are pictured here. There were many Mountain hemlocks and contorted Shore pines (lowland Lodgepole), but I focused this trip on Alaska Yellow cedars, of which I collected ten great ones, and am showing the best of the lot below. I also got a spectacularly stunted, multi-trunked Western Silver fir that I'm showing two views of - should provide many beautiful hours of styling over the years if it survives (which I think it will).
Enjoy.
