Trip Photos ...Quinault Lake Area
Larry, Steve and I did a day trip to the Quinault Lake area....a few shots to share. This area deserves a few more day trips to circumvent the lake and make appropriate stops...we bumped into a couple photobugs who make the trip to this area annually ...traveling all the way from Vermont.

Anytime you can visit before the underbrush leaf-out and when it's not raining ...is a good day! Here are some of our shots....

1. Hoquiam River just outside of Hoquiam / Aberdeen... by Larry

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

Very nice set Ken, especially for this "slower" time of year. The red tones in the ferns along Willaby are great.

Hey! Great idea for a trip. Thanks for the "trip report" and sampling of photos. Fun to see and compare the different takes on the same subject.
If not "wow" shots, they are all certainly fine enough, I think!
The ones of the Hoquiam River surprise me for being very peaceful looking as well as not rainy. I don't think I've ever been through there when the sun was out!

This is another nice group of images Ken. My favorites are #3 and the last one. Looks like this place would be great in the spring as well.
