We stood on a wooden platform and looked down #SamuelHBoardmanStateScenicCorridor #Brookings #CurryCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

A study in light and shadow #UniversityFalls #RogersCamp #TillamookStateForest #Oregon #OregonExplored

There were clear, enclosed boxes along the trail with replicas of fossils found there #SheepRockUnit #BlueBasin #JohnDayFossilBeds #Dayville #GrantCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

Like a hovercraft, lightly touching down on sand and water #ProposalRock #Neskowin #TillamookCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

It was a cheerful kind of morning. There were patches of ice stretching across the water #TrilliumLake #ClackamasCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/B_bRnNjFq9o/

We stood at the top of the falls and looked out through the trees and low clouds #LavaCanyon #GiffordPinchotNationalForest #Cougar #CowlitzCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

Across the lake, workers were pounding a new roof into place on one of the cabins #MountHood #LostLake #MountHoodNationalForest #HoodRiverCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The ground was brittle, covered in ice-beads #McKenzieRiverTrail #WillametteNationalForest #LaneCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

I'd like to know more about the Chinese people who lived and worked here #GoldenStateHeritageSite #Golden #CoyoteCreek #JosephineCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

There was light rain #DriftCreekFalls #LincolnCity #LincolnCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

They seemed good friends, comfortable in silence together #SamuelHBoardmanStateScenicCorridor #Brookings #CurryCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

We found dunes protected from the sea by a jumble of sandstone and shore pine #SamuelHBoardmanStateScenicCorridor #Brookings #CurryCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

It was early spring #HorsethiefButte #ColumbiaHillsHistoricalStatePark #KlickitatCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

There were roses nearby #OregonStateCapitol #Salem #MarionCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

Several years ago, I stood out on the point and surveyed this scene from the other side #CapeBlancoStatePark #Sixes #CurryCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The water never stops moving #LuciaFallsRegionalPark #Yacolt #ClarkCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

The new highway is steeper but straighter, and the big trucks passed, one after another, all morning long #MaryhillLoopsRoad #Maryhill #KlickitatCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

They like to spy on pedestrians #CathedralPark #Portland #MultnomahCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

Before this weekend trip, I'd only ever driven through on my way to other places #SacagaweaHeritageTrail #Richland #TriCities #Washington #WashingtonExplored

via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/B_JQmx5FZtv/

As we walked back to where we'd parked the car, the light accompanied us, touching tree trunks and slipping along the snow at our side #SaltCreekFalls #WillametteNationalForest #Oregon #OregonExplored

They are fragrant #AmandasTrail #CapePerpetua #Yachats #LincolnCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

I walked out through the shallow pools, stood on a rock, and waited for the ocean to come #ThorsWell #CapePerpetua #Yachats #LincolnCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The water was the warmest shade of green #MountJefferson #RoundButtePark #LakeBillyChinook #Madras #JeffersonCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The tree seemed patient and decent and kind #CoyoteWall #WhiteSalmon #ColumbiaGorge #Washington #WashingtonExplored

The forest is yet held at bay #ApeCanyon #Lahar #GiffordPinchotNationalForest #Washington #WashingtonExplored

There are picnic tables and tall trees, waiting for the return of the summer people #SusanCreekFalls #UmpquaNationalForest #DouglasCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

An open-air art gallery. It smelled of earth and fresh paint #VernoniaMillPond #Vernonia #ColumbiaCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

They were gentle and curious #JedediahSmithRedwoodsStatePark #CrescentCity #DelNorteCounty #California #CaliExplored

The hills were covered with birds and flowering shrubs #CascadeHead #LincolnCity #TillamookCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

We'd been walking for more than a mile through the dark, when we encountered this hole. The feeling is difficult to put into words, but maybe not so hard to imagine #ApeCave #GiffordPinchotNationalForest #Cougar #CowlitzCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/B-3PP88ldk3/

We stood here for awhile and considered the forest below #MitchellPoint #ColumbiaGorge #HoodRiverCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

Just another reflection #LostLake #MountHoodNationalForest #HoodRiverCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The water fell in steps #LavaCanyon #GiffordPinchotNationalForest #Cougar #CowlitzCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

Sometimes I feel like I've already said everything there is to say - I just want people to look. And to feel. #GortonCreek #CascadeLocks #HoodRiverCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

Decorative plums are the first trees I notice each spring, followed by the cherries, but these apple blossoms are my favorite #HenryHaggLake #WashingtonCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

It rained all day, and the tide was high #SamuelHBoardmanStateScenicCorridor #Brookings #CurryCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/B-vgIG3F7E0/

The hike to this place was through direct sun on an early summer day, so the dramatic temperature drop as we approached the water felt like the perfect kind of welcome #SandyRiver #MountHoodNationalForest #RamonaFalls #Oregon #OregonExplored
