Always remember to look up in the forest, sometimes trees look like muppets waving at you 😃 👋 #ForestFriday #Forests #Trees #Cascades #PNW #Scape #Moss #Lichen #Fuzzy #Photography #Nature #Moss #Lichen #TreeHugger

Looking up at a tree that is covered so thickly in moss that it looks lumpy and furry; one branch is extended, covered with moss, and it looks like a muppet hand with three fingers. There are more trees and branches visible, and a bright pale sky overhead.

What in the trunkety-trunk is going on here? An elaborate tree root and trunk structure spotted in the Hoh Rain Forest, Washington #ForestFriday #Forests #Trees #Moss #Lichen #Scape #PNW #Hoh #Photography #Nature

A large tree in a forest that has a large trunk with several roots and smaller trunks growing out of it. It eventually splits into what appears to be three different trees. There are several other trees around this one, some dripping with lichen and moss. The sun is shining through the branches resulting in bright spots in some areas and shadows in others.

A grey research boat navigating through the locks that takes boats between the salt water in Puget Sound and the fresh water in Lake Union and Lake Washington. There are people on the cement shore helping the boat go through and there are also people observing. Green trees are behind them, and the wall of the lock, next to the boat is a bright green from algae.

The 'Dove of the Holy Spirit' stained glass window glows behind St. Peter's Baldachin in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy #BlueSkyArtShow #Glass #StainedGlass #Vatican #UrbanGaze #Bernini #Italy #Rome #Scape #Photography

The giant columned bronze canopy, called a baldachin, over the high altar of St. Peter's Basilica. Behind the baldachin is the apse of the basilica and there is a stained glass window that has a white dove at the center with orange sun rays spreading out from it. The window is glowing because of the sun shining from outside, and the dove is barely visible because of the brightness. Additional sections of the walls and artwork in the basilica are also visible to the sides and above the baldachin.

An old felled tree in the Hoh Rain Forest. What types of critters do you think may have called this chunk of vegetation home? #ForestFriday #Forests #Trees #Nature #Hoh #Washington #Photography #Scape

An old felled tree on its side with a mound of vegetation growing out of what appears to be the root system of the tree. There are now ferns and sticks and plants growing out of it, and a hollowed out space in the center. There are more trees and forest plants around and behind the tree, and a bright light sky can be seen.

Spotted while boating through the Montlake Cut at the University of Washington, Seattle #UrbanGaze #Montlake #UDub #UofW #Boating #ColorADay #YellowTue #Gladiator #Photography #PNW #Seattle

A message along the shore of the Montlake Cut which connects Lake Washington to Lake Union and is right next to the University of Washington. Classes, typically rowing teams, paint messages on the concrete walls that line the cut. This one is from the class of 2026 and has a black background and gold letters that read ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED with a helmet next to it. There are green bushes up above the concrete, on the shore, and the lake water is in the foreground of the image.
