There were tons of trees with moss and these fern-things on them.
The trees were giant and very gnarly -- the growth in this forest dates back a century, so lots of older growth to look at.
This big mushroom was the only of it's kind that we saw. All the other ones were little and white/tan or a shelf fungus.
Crazy roots were everywhere. There were times these made for some slick walking, though.
Normally when you see a tree stump, the center is hollow. This is the opposite of that. Pretty interesting.
Saw tons of these mushrooms.
This is a tree that had started growing on top of the trunk of another tree, with the roots going down around it. The tree itself is actually very tall -- it stretched up a good 20 feet or so.
In this picture, you can see all the roots from the trees -- this is probably the most we saw in one area that were along the surface.
Little stream heading for Lake Washington.
The view across Lake Washington was beautiful, especially with all the trees in different colors on the opposite bank.
Saint Edward State Park borders (or is part of? Not sure) a historic seminary. This building is still in use by a local university, and was constructed in 1931.
It was nice to get out and see some nature, though by the end the kids were definitely done.
