Writer in the Woods


I hope you have enjoyed this little tour of Lake Quinault and its rain forest valley; this completes the tour. The old dilapidated dock actually found its way onto the pages of my novel, The Tale of Willaby Creek! I hope you have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend - and thanks for visiting my blog!



This last plant is probably familiar to everyone: the hydrangea. Although it is not native to the Olympic National Forest you see these beautiful blue blossoms everywhere this time of year. The story goes, that they were brought over by visiting Europeans long ago, and have flourished. Whether or not that story is true, I'm not sure, but I love hydrangeas.
