I was attracted to the clouds along the horizon, but the different layers of patterns in the sand made a very interesting foreground. Many horizontal layers … This is a view from Kalaloch on the beach section of the Olympic National Park.
Graves Creek Tributary
I couldn’t find a name for this tributary of Graves Creek … which is itself a tributary of the East Fork Quinault River. I’m sure if I got a detail map it would show a name, but I don’t have anything with more detail than a typical hiking map. It’s a nice stream, though.
Mossy Rocks
I enjoyed finding the moss covered rocks lined up in the Graves Creek Campground (Olympic National Park). I know they must get dried out in the summer … but they sure are healthy in spring.
Beach Walk
This is a view of the beach just north of Kalaloch. I really liked the misty headlands in the background, and the beach walkers made it more interesting.
Early Spring in the Rain Forest
These are both taken in the rain forest up the East Fork of the Quinault River valley at Graves Creek Campground in Olympic National Park. I am always impressed with the way the trees get covered with moss.
