📸 "Muscle Tree"
By Sitting Wolf Photography

You stood where forest meets the sky,
A twisted form both bold and high.
With limbs like arms in quiet might,
You reached through day and held the night.

A landmark bent by wind and time,
By salty air and coastal clime.
No plaque, no fame, yet all would see
The quiet strength of Muscle Tree.

Children stared with wide-eyed awe,
Travelers paused in humbled draw.
Locals knew to slow their pace—
You weren’t just roots, you held this place.

Now word has spread your time must go,
Too frail to stand, too tired to grow.
But even when the road runs bare,
A part of you will linger there.

In whispers through the swaying pine,
In morning light that used to shine—
You’ll live in hearts and memory,
Forevermore, our Muscle Tree. 🌲

Now deemed unsafe, it faces removal, but its memory lingers in the mirrored world of this lensball—distorted yet eternal, a reminder that even the strongest must one day yield to time.

Had an awesome time introducing Liz to her very first halibut fish and chips today, and she really enjoyed it! 🎣🍟 Big shoutout to Clearwater Restaurant for serving up some seriously good seafood – they always hit the spot! If you haven’t tried their halibut, you’re missing out. 💯
