And you put 1.2 of your lenses to good use. (You only get 0.2 for the telephoto since you posted one image. hehe)<br /><br />Love the moss. The top of the damn is great. The last image is so serene. <br /><br />Lovely!<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-89645360549335560762011-03-24T09:42:19.366-07:002011-03-24T09:42:19.366-07:00Charlie6:

You are in a hypnotic trans to follow the water over. I had to step back after taking the shot<br /><br /><b>GeorgeF:</b><br /><br />we do have areas with lots of moss. Sometimes it is saturated green and great for photos.<br /><br /><b>Trobairitz:</b><br /><br />I rode down to the Gorge on my Maxi-scoot and our group went to many of those waterfalls. There are many bike friendly twisties but we were in a group and I wouldn't know how to find them again. I hope you are going to ride there on MAX<br /><br /><b>Mike:</b><br /><br />It's a compromise as Ms Skoot doesn't ride and I don't double. I reserve Sunday as "family day" . We have brunch somewhere and drive around and I still get to take photos, only I can carry more equipment in the trunk. We also do shopping errands along the way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-54278434188337948262011-03-24T09:32:50.320-07:002011-03-24T09:32:50.320-07:00BlueKat:

The locals go to the FREE Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge which, IMO is better.

I think the one of the moss or the last shot is my favorite. <br /><br />We may get a lot of rain in the pacific northwest but I think we are spoiled with the best hiking trails and roads to ride.<br /><br />One thing I want to do this summer is go up the Columbia Gorge and hike some of the trails by the waterfalls. Haven't done it in years and it makes for great photo opportunities. The vegetation should be the same as your neck of the woods, but there will be lots of tourists.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-75365039855095889102011-03-23T16:30:15.693-07:002011-03-23T16:30:15.693-07:00Beautiful Bob.

I love dark, woodsy trails. I think our PNW forests are magical places. :)<br /><br />Is there a suspension bridge around there? I seem to recall visiting one by that name, but perhaps it's something different. My red headed nephew was bouncing and trying to get the bridge to move until a loud speaker announced for the red-headed boy to stop shaking the bridge. Never seen his eyes get so big.Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-89060668087582914982011-03-22T20:41:38.025-07:002011-03-22T20:41:38.025-07:00SonjaM:
