Stumps play an important role at our float cabin. They help cut down wave action from wind and passing boats. They also provide an attractive and colorful addition to our water lot. Here are a few treasured stumps on duty in front of our cabin. A small alder tree, moss and salal plants give them lots of character.
This stump is named Bede after the BD-5J homebuilt jet from
BedeCorp. If you go to their website you might see the resemblance. This year Bede has a large lupine growing out of his well watered crevices.

ReplyDeleteAloha Margy,
ReplyDeleteI like the creative origins of the stumps in the water.
Nature is so subtle with her decor and to place these in interesting poses is a work of art.
It fascinates me that humans always compare items we've made to mother natures perfection.
Even in death comes renewal..
Peace, Kai
Do you live on the boat? If you do, I am so jealous!

Thank you to everyone for visiting my stumps post. To answer a few of the questions, we live at our float cabin about 75% of the year. That is in all seasons. While summer is really great, we enjoy the gentle snows of winter, the misty mornings of fall and the green sprouts and bird songs of spring. Not to mention, there are fewer visitors to our bay in the off season. Stay awhile and check out some of my other pictures about float cabin living, nature and atv rides into the back country. -- Margy
ReplyDeleteMargy, I love how these stumps are so 'available' for new and beautiful (lupine!)plants to take up residence. Also enjoyed reading about your swallows. How cool are they, making nests out of mudballs?!! Lovely posts, as always.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your stumps and interesting to read about them.
