Nice collection of pix. Looks like it was a pleasant and peaceful day. Nice balanced emphasis on the dendroidal context. The car window festooned with "been there, done that" stickers reminds me of my Backpacker travel guitar and its complement of the same. But, hey, what an amazing tree, to have a branch that looks so much like a human hand, huh????

Speaking of dendroidal content, I was not able to capture a couple of tree-related aural soundscapes that I was awed by on this visit. One instance was standing under the canopies of some huge madrones and listening to the sound of hundreds of bees buzzing about in the blossoms overhead. The other really cool soundscape was in the vicinity of several large oaks and pines where a dozen or so acorn woodpeckers were doing their thing. On an otherwise silent stretch of trail, the sound of them pecking away--each with a slightly different tone was like a natural percussive symphony.

Grubber. Your phone should have an audio recording capability, does it not??? These kinds of audio events would be great to share here. Even better, you should always be carrying something like a Zoom H4 audio recorder for field recordings.

Just kidding about the harshness there. But, really, audio recording capabilities sound (ha) like a good thing to have on your side when you go a walkin' about.

As far as recording soundscapes with my phone goes...not really possible since I'm still using a "vintage" (ha!) Pantech flip phone. Of course I could've tried to capture the sound via a video but my camera battery was dead and I neglected to bring a spare along. Oh well, maybe next time.

That's right. My tirade neglected to mention the audio side of a video recorder. And, yes, battery hogs they are.
