It seemed a little tall to be biscuitroot, and I'm not familiar enough with flowers of this type other than to know it's likely related to carrot.

There are trees that I've encountered again and again over the years, trees along trails I frequent or in places I come back to season after season. They change almost imperceptibly over time, offering a kind of constancy in a world where everything else is always changing, always moving - too fast! I am not a tree. I don't have that kind of patience (or wisdom). But I'm learning from them. And some have become trustworthy mentors - good friends. Download the masterlist of my 50 favorite #Oregon locations.
