Hoh Rainforest, Hall of Mosses trail
This post is in memory of my friend: Tina Forrester aka. "CameraGirl". She and her husband were lost this week in a tragic car accident.
Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond".
We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( :
Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE!
...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees?
I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you even get how many years, how many snows, how many wind storms, rain storms they have struggled through. It brings tears to my eyes. I am so blessed, so lucky to have seen these beauties in person. I hope these shots do you justice, do them justice. They are strong and mighty trees.

(or maybe it is because I am listening to "Vincent" by Don McLean. As a senior I took an art class & my teacher would play that song often, it is one of my favorites, I'm sure you know the painting... "Starry Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh. right?) Beth ( ;

Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
The fence was nice but those trees were even nicer. We do grow them big here in the PNW. Loving the moss draping on them.
Thank you for stopping by. You asked a question of why I started a new blog. It was because there were enough comments letting me know that it was so slow loading up, and as it was very photo heavy I thought it was a good time to start a new one. Since doing so the comments have been favorable. I am not sure if this was the only reason but starting a new blog seems to have done the trick.
Have a great weekend Beth :)
As to photos of trees, lay on your back and shoot straight UP...that'll give a very different perspective. Your photos are fabulous anyway; you don't need pointers (even though I stuck my big nose in anyway -grin-).

A lovely tribute to Tina. What struck me was her perfectly normal last post and then reading the news. Those kind of things just stops you in your tracks. That was followed by the news that Sally of Blue Monday has also passed.
People we may not have met but that touched our lives. May each of our blogs do the same.
I haven't been to the HOH forest, but I can feel your love for nature and photography through your photos. Thank you so very much for visiting me and mentioning our blogger friend Tina.
BTW - the depth in the 3rd photo is mesmerizing.
Have a Happy Weekend!
Peace :)
A great forest of trees almost touching the sky and reaching out to Tina and her husband!
This is when I ask myself "what's it all about" losing two precious lives.
Take care - she would be proud of these photos.
