The Hoh Rainforest


Need I say more? Ha, ha!


Off the beaten path...










Toward the sky...


An upturned tree...


Me, on a tree...


Very Lord of the Rings...ish.


Yoga on a tree!



So beautiful...


An arch overhead!!!


Leaves, moss the length of the tree.



Edward, in the meadow, of course!

A river runs through it!


Light filtering down through the trees.


The Vampire's playground...


Amoung the ferns and bracken.

The Hoh rainforest is indescribable.
It is deep, dark, and mysterious.

What a wonderful morning we spent there!!!
Along a river, up a path winding through the trees, with the greatest gals ever!!!
In rainboots, in tennis shoes and in sandals we braved the wood.

A piece of our hearts remains behind, a dream entangled in the branches.
May the forest remain as it has for centuries...
Beautiful.

Katie so beautiful

Riley, so handsome!

Ellie, so sweet!


The road up the canyon...

Three ducks in a row...
kinda makes you wonder what they are up to!

We spent a wonderful day in the canyon.
It was crisp, cool and perfect.

The kids picked rocks from the river, had special elvish walking sticks,
and got leaves in every color...

The Tide Pools
Rialto Beach
La, Push Wa

Looks more like a pirates cove!

Starfish were numerous and abundant!

It was a 45 minute hike, each way on sloping sand and rocks.
Not so easy, but so very worth it...

The Tide is out, look at all the cool stuff!

This is where the tide runs into the ocean!!!







Hey, that's me!
I am happy, can you tell?


The long grey hike...

The trees were enormous!

Back to the ocean...

Second Beach
La, Push...

Nothing more to be said.
