Hoh Rainforest, Olympic Nat'l Park

I have a list below of memes I am joining for this week. They are all fun memes to participate in. I hope you can join in with the fun and check out some of the participating posts. Special thanks to all the wonderful host and their memes.

Sharing our visit to the Hoh Rainforest, Olympic Nat'l park. After leaving the beaches the sky cleared up as we headed inland to the Hoh Rainforest and river.

 The Hoh River was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Look at the blue color of the river, just gorgeous.

I just missed getting a shot of an American Dipper here at the river. It did not stay still for long.

There are some tall Western Hemlocks, Sitka Spruce, Douglas fir trees and lots of moss and ferns in the Hoh Rainforest. Some of the trees in the Hoh Rainforest can grow up to 312 feet tall and 23 feet in diameter.

These trees growing in a row are growing from a fallen tree called a nurse log, providing water and nutrients as they decay.

Some of the fall colors on the Spruce Trail in the Hoh Rainforest. Some of the trees are the big leaf maples.

The fall colors were beautiful along with all the green ferns and moss on the trail.

Some of the ducks (mallards and merganser) seen near the Hoh Visitor center.

I hope you enjoyed this short visit to the Hoh Rainforest. As always I appreciate your visits and nice comments. Thank you! Have  a happy day and new week ahead!
