Oregon Fern Gully
I almost forgot how green Oregon is!
Into the Cummins Creek Wilderness
Oregon Rainforest
Lichen Trees
Cummins Creek Trailhead, nice campsite too
I also almost forgot how many logging trucks you have to dodge in Oregon.

Good heavens. That first fern gully photo damn near made me drool. Gorgeous!
Haha how about that salad at the end? Talk about drool-worthy!
Beautiful! Love the pic with the stream.
Oregon, my favorite state.
Mine too! Oregon was my first love.
I love how detail-rich your photos are! Even the photos that appear to have no subject are so well arranged, nothing is lost by a lack of “subject.” Beautiful!
Thanks, Turtle. Oregon is just so photogenic!
I love Oregon! The Oregon coast is probably my favorite place on the planet.
Thanks for the reminders of my beautiful home state!

EDIT: for NOT taking him up on his invite….
A fantastic looking place by the look of it.
Do share… what are the greens in your salad? always love your amazing photos!!
My first pictures of oregon – one of those places I know I am going one of these days – fab pics. It was the salad that made me go ooh – what was in it? I can’t think of any yellow flowers except black-eyes susans.
That’s a Wild Garden salad by my plant breeder/ organic farmer/ uncle Frank Morton: three kinds of lettuce – camo deer tongue, greek oak heart & red ball jets, all varieties bred by Frank himself – mixed with some italian parsley, and topped with yellow calendula petals and white radish blossoms. Salad is serious business around here: http://www.wildgardenseed.com/
