- Balgair 5y agoOn the Pacific Coast you can see this in action with redwood 'fairy rings'. The old redwoods got chopped down and then the roots sent up shoots in a ring about the stump. It all grows into pretty big ring of trees. Great for making forts in as a kid. Tall, hard woods. Great smells of the dank forest floor and the tannins of the redwoods. Birds twittering, squirrels barking. Dust, duff. Your imagination running buckwild about ancient castles or being an ewok. Mom calls at dusk for dinner, red spaghetti and bugjuice. Coolness creeps in and the scrubjays squawk at another. Just dark enough for flashlight tag. And running through church columns in twilight and you never get tired and you never get old. And everything is perfect. https://www.google.com/search?q=redwood+fairy+ring&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjPitzdm73wAhVDOs0KHeodC_sQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1362&bih=649 https://www.google.com/search?q=redwood+fairy+ring&source=ln... https://robertogreco.tumblr.com/post/10973003737/idrawnintendo-ive-been-talking-about https://robertogreco.tumblr.com/post/10973003737/idrawninten...
