Hoh Rainforest

It rained and rained and rained . . . and then it stopped . . . just for us. It was pretty amazing . . . almost magical, like the forest itself.

I took this first shot through the rain-spotted window of our moving car. It turned out pretty neat, yah.

Fawn, it was so beautiful there. Now I know why it's one of your favorite places.

Funny Betty, Les teased me about getting excited about the mushrooms. Nice to know you also appreciate them as much as I do.

Erick, I loved the lighting that the cloudy skies provided.

Cool first pic of the stickly trees..at first I was wondering how you made the grassy part blurry...now I know..Some collection of mushrooms.. all the large mossy trees remind me of Lord of the Ring...Great nature shots!!

SW said...

Thanks Shun Wah! I love the Lord of the Rings movies, and I kept thinking about it while I was walking through the forest.

I almost missed the spider web. I used my flash on that shot to get the reflection in the water drops.
