When I was young, there was a red camellia outside my bedroom window #LloydDistrict #Portland #MultnomahCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The rocks rub together and crackle as the waves rush in and slip out #FlorasLakeStatePark #Sixes #CurryCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The roar of the water made it easy to talk, a place for truth-telling #LuciaFallsRegionalPark #Yacolt #ClarkCounty #Washington #WashingtonExplored

The trees here grew close and quiet #SilverFallsStatePark #BuckMountainLoop #Sublimity #MarionCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

It seemed about to take flight #StJohnsBridge #Portland #MultnomahCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

It was raining, but we saw the roadside sign for the falls and couldn't not stop #DogCreekFalls #ColumbiaGorge #Washington #WashingtonExplored

It's the best place in town to watch the water #BalchCreek #ForestPark #Portland #MultnomahCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

Standing up on the butte in the early morning, the city below seemed part of some distant past #RockyButte #Portland #MultnomahCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

It was another world, and we were strangers there #SaltCreekFalls #WillametteNationalForest #Oregon #OregonExplored

The trail was covered with ice crystals that crunched with every step we took #UniversityFalls #RogersCamp #TillamookStateForest #Oregon #OregonExplored

We stood on rocky mounds just inches above the water #ThorsWell #CapePerpetua #Yachats #LincolnCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

The rocks were sharp enough to make us cautious #HermanCreekPinnacles #CascadeLocks #HoodRiverCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored

An old tree is perched here on the ledge between the first and second drop, a good place to brace yourself before you close your eyes and listen to the water #BakerCreekFalls #McMinnville #YamhillCounty #Oregon #OregonExplored
