I spent a very interesting day in Silver Falls State Park.
Short version of the story: after hiking the whole Ten Falls Trail, I ended up somehow missing my correct trail BACK and got hopelessly lost. I ended up spending the entire night shivering and lost in the middle of nowhere in just under freezing temperatures! It was MISERY! Thank heavens for my wimpiness which led me to bring a coat even though I figured I wouldn't REALLY need it -- that coat saved my life, quite literally.
But of course it was all worth it to get beautiful shots like this one. :-)
Who says I haven't suffered for my art? ;-)
And if anyone's curious, I have all my Oregon shots up for your perusal. There are many more that I just loved that of course are not included in this gallery.

Also, I'm leaving on yet ANOTHER big trip, this time I'll be gone for a week-and-a-half. But I promise when I get back I'll return everyone's notes and everything! I've really missed you all! I'll come back with oodles more photos, you can be sure of it. ;-)
