Hike along a creek

Found a random creek off the beaten path in the Coast range. Was too dark to get many good shots, but I got a few acceptable ones. August 2011.

 I have no idea how that tiny stream uprooted and carried this big tree, but nevertheless, it's a cool root ball. 

Belknap hot springs and surrounding area

Trip to Belknap hot springs. This was a wood carving they had outside their main lodge. I'm a fan of silhouettes for things like this.  

 The McKenzie river, which flowed through the camp.

 Went on a hike, and found these wildflowers growing by a pond

 Trying to capture the ripples on the clear water. There were so many trees near this pond that the water looks bright green from the reflections!

 Found a lovely butterfly who stopped to say hello. Got some pretty good shots of it.

 The view from the top of a nearby mountain we drove up. Beautiful country.
