 Hybrid Poplar grove, Boardman, Oregon©2008 Ed BookIf you travel east on I-84 through eastern Oregon, you'll see this grove. Get off the exit and go walk in the grove, It's quite surreal, all the trees the same size and in lines... I've been by here a few times but this was the first time I stopped to make photographs. I plan to return again in different seasons and when I can spend more time. Peace Tags: -print available-, forest, intimate landscape, oregon, trees, yellow

 tumbling water near Walker Pass - Olympic National Forest - Washington©2008 Ed BookBefore my Daughter and my Grandkids flew back to the east coast, I spent a few days camping with them and my Son, Seth and my new Daughter-in-law Victoria. On the way home, I visited an old friend, this waterfall along the Rocky Brook road that climbs from Walker Pass on US 101 in the Olympic National Forest. This is one of those places that I keep returning to hoping that the air will be still so I can photograph non-blury Maidenhair Ferns with a long enough exposure to render the water silky. This was the first time the air was still... happy me Peace Tags: -print available-, forest, green, intimate landscape, olympic mountains, plants, spring, wa, waterflow

 'takin' a break from a project to look at some images I made yesterday while returning home from an appointment. I went for a short walk on Gold Mountain in the Green Mountain State Forest south of home about ten miles. It's January and the Red Alder is showing it's red phase of new growth with catkins soon. Alder is one of the first trees to return after clear cut logging. It grows quickly and is considered a garbage tree because it's brittle and has little strength. It fixates nitrogen in the soils and makes it acidic so the firs, cedars, and pine can start. It's overwhelmingly the most populous deciduous tree of the Puget Sound lowlands.
