The Road to the Coast |
Looking across to Canada |
Curious creatures and . . . |
curious sights. |
Me gazing out to sea - photo compliments of Jessica Andrews |
First glimpse of Cape Flattery and the powerful Pacific |
We walked through ferns and past redwoods . . . |
. . . over roots and under evergreen bows . . . |
. . . treaded softly over moss and around mushrooms . . . |
. . . until our toes touched the Pacific. |
Photo compliments again of Jessica and her handy-dandy tripod. |
Then we climbed back through the bracken (from which one half expected hobbits to appear) and followed this rainbow home. |
So beautiful. I haven't visited the Pacific NW for a long time, now, but your pictures took me straight back. I remember a particular Fourth of July at the Oregon coast when my Oklahoma summer-thinned blood nearly froze to death, but the surroundings were amazingly beautiful! Thank you for sharing your trip, Anna :)
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed beautiful, and while I'm used to cold, when that wind blew it seemed to cut right to the bone! Brrr! I loved the wildness of it all; while civilization is present, it felt as though nature still held the upper hand--which it always does, really, but in Washington everyone knows it. :) Thanks, Danni!
