Ecola State Park, just north of Cannon Beach, Oregon has an amazing 3 mile road through a very thick forest. I had to stop to take a shot because it was like no place I’d ever been. I later learned that some of the Lewis and Clark party walked about 15 miles through this forest […]

Tulips My favorite flowers in my favorite colors.
