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. 😉

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.
