I saw these lodgepole pines on pilings next to a bridge crossing the Deschutes River. I was hiking the trail to Benham Falls but had to pause to marvel at these little trees. Trout swam around the pilings, providing a little extra fertilizer for this odd nursery.
Who knows why the trees settled there. They certainly found a nice piece of waterfront property with a view. 😉
A very beautiful image! I love these little trees.
Thanks! They were making the best of their situation.
That looks like so calm and lovely place. Thanks for joining, Siobhan. So glad to see this.
Thanks, Parul! It is a peaceful place for a hike.

I’m always fascinated and encouraged by how trees find ways to adapt.
Same here, JoAnna!
Such an interesting sight. 🙂
Yes, it was a surprise to see.
