On the windswept hills of Rockville, I came across this fallen oak. It seemed to still be alive despite most of its trunk being horizontal. I surmise that it had fallen over in high winds, but about half its base remained rooted after falling. It continued to grow its main trunk upwards. Which happened to be sideways from its original growth.
The Cascade trail in Rockville Hills Regional Park. My favourite part of the park, to get to this point one must circle around the entire park to climb this short, steep trail. And it is brutal.
After the excitement of getting heron photos and discovering sunbathing turtles, I had overlooked this treasure from near the start of my hike. I'm not used to seeing deer in Rockville. Cattle and sheep, yes.
I've been chasing the great blue heron around Rockville Park's Upper Lake fairly often of late. The bird has been very elusive and skittish. Until now. I was able to approach very slowly and closely continuously shooting.
