Himalayan Blackberry patch (steeper incline IRL than it looks like here), with young Alder tree. Note the seep dampening the road here the near the Alder tree. Alders are water-lovers and this is one of the few on the property. Other damp spots, including seasonal and yearlong streams, are dominated by Fir and Oak, thereby excluding Alders, which are not understory trees in this area.
