Sol Doc Falls

Sol Doc Falls is in the Olympic National Park in Washington State. It has some nice scenery and these falls was gorgeous. There was a lot of shade and the sun light poured in right on the flowing water. The mist coming up was fogging up the filter ever so often but it was peaceful in away. The hike was nice but the mosquitoes and gnats will fly around your head about half the time.

Rain forest of Olympic

The rain forest in Olympic National Park was really awesome. There was no rain and the sun was out but the ferns and moss were still dense in this part of the park. The trail “Hall of Mosses” was an easy walk and had lots of great vegetation but of course pretty busy and a lot of people. I took this looking up at the mosses draping over the maples.

Verde Maple’s

I love Maple tree’s, there are so many kinds but they pretty much all have bright colors in the fall. The greens that this one was showing on a wet day was vibrant. If you want to get some great shots of maples, I have found Japan in the fall to be wonderful. In Japan they have food and items to buy that are themed on the maples that are turning in the season much like the cherry blossoms in the spring. This maple was in a Japanese Garden on our trip in Oregon. Couldn’t pass it up.
