Kalaloch Beach WA - Tree of Life
This old spruce has been clinging to the bluff for decades now, probably much longer, as the world erodes around it. Lately though, I've been hearing rumblings and rumours that collapse may be coming soon. Do you know if there's any truth to this? Or is this one of those "life finds a way" moments? It's been a couple of years since I've been out for a visit.

Thanks for some beautiful reminders of why I call this place home.

This pic was just taken a few days ago of this iconic tree known as "the tree of life"

The erosion on Kakaloch beach has been significant over the years I have been walking there. A few stairway accesses have washed/eroded out- an obvious challenge for the park service. It seems likely to me at some point erosion will take down this remarkable tree... but that day is not this day. And so I continue to live in wonder at it's fortitude.
