On the fifth, I intentionally took a group of photos for this post at The Bledsoe Reserve on Bainbridge Island. My ability to connect my external hard drive to my laptop has been a pain in the neck on this trip. I’m quite annoyed that Apple decided not to include a USB port on the MacAir, and I haven’t had much luck using my USB adaptor. The process of uploading photos is incredibly slow, and trying to access them with Lightroom is equally problematic. A trip to the Apple store when we return is on the books! So . . . in order to get this posted, I needed to look through my iPhone photos for photos taken within the five minute time frame. Fortunately, I found some interesting ones I took on the Olympic Peninsula at the Hoh Rain Forest.
I handed Tracy my phone for this one of me among the trees. It gives you a good sense of the size of the trees. There’s nothing like this on the east coast!
The moss hanging from these trees is typical of many of the forested areas where we’ve hiked on this trip. We saw them in the Rainier National Park as well as The Trail of Cedars in the North Cascades National Park.
I’m linking this up with Sandie who kindly hosts this monthly meme.
AMAZING photos, especially the first two, which should be part of any nature’s best calendar! Those are very large trees & let’s hope “we” make the necessary changes to allow such treasures to continue.
Wow these are wonderful. I had my first visit to a rain forest when I was in New Zealand last year and it is an experience I will always remember. The sheer size and age of the trees is humbling and soul enriching. It looks like you had an amazing visit, thank you for sharing and taking part in 5in5.
By the way, thank you too for your perseverance. Technology really gets me frustrated sometimes. I have an iPhone but stick to Windows for laptop and computer. I wish it could be more streamlined and easier to use.
these are great captures with an iPhone considering the size of the landscape! We do have massive trees in places on the left coast and you found a wonderful spot. I purchased a new MacBook Pro laptop two weeks ago and fortunately purchased a good adaptor for my flash drives and other hookups. Technology can be frustrating.
What a humbling and incredibly atmospheric forest! Wouldn’t want to be lost there after dark! The mosses are amazing, especially in the last pic. Hope you’ve been having a wonderful September and happy travels.
