South Falls February Photowalk

The other day I went over to Silver Falls for two reasons: first, to turn in an application for the interpretive naturalist position; and secondly, to go on a small walk to the base of South Falls with my camera in hand but no tripod. as a result, some of the pictures I wanted to capture were blurry. Below are a few of the photos that I took that day.

 I liked the texture of the moss on the maple trees. The moss in the photo below is just one of many that live in the temperate rainforest that stretches from northern California to the Kenai Penninsula in Alaska,

"The Waterfall Trail'

The flower below is known as a Spring Queen, but also known as a Snow Queen because they bloom just after the snow melts. The whole region of Northwestern Oregon was hit by a snowstorm that started melting four days before I visited the park.
