Calocedrus decurrens
Calocedrus decurrens, common name California incense cedar, is a species of coniferous tree in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, native to western North America. Doing its thing today. Looking very similar to red cedar foliage, but with tiny yellow pollen cones ?,(small, golden rectangular lantern shaped tips on the end of the branches). In contrast to the deep green and reddish foliage 🌿☮️

Fallende Blätter 🍂 Falling leaves #eastcoastkin #eck #scape #forestfriday #greensat
Im Vordergrund liegt ein umgestürzter Baumstamm auf dem Waldboden, der mit Moos und herabgefallenen Blättern bedeckt ist. Dahinter stehen mehrere aufrechte Bäume mit glatter und rissiger Rinde. Das dichte Blätterdach der Bäume lässt gefiltertes Tageslicht auf den Boden fallen. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Bäume und dichtes Unterholz zu sehen. Die Szene vermittelt den Eindruck eines naturbelassenen Waldes im Herbst.

Forest bathing... ; ) Crosscliff trail earlier Dalby forest #Yorkshire
A view from the Crosscliff Trail in Dalby Forest, looking down a steep, sun dappled hillside slope covered in tall pine trees and mixed deciduous woodland. Strong golden sunlight illuminates the trunks of the trees in the foreground and midground, while the view opens up to a dense, hazy valley below under a bright blue sky with light white clouds. The forest floor has grasses and underbrush
