ALRIGHT, I have a few minutes so I thought I’d throw together some of my favorite photos from the 2009 road trip we had in Northern California. Now, I’ve revisited in 2016 and it’s still (or more) magical and again in 2017 with the same feelings. Enjoy some sun streaming through some big, green trees! Happy Friday, Happy Forest Friday, and just Happy Day. Find the joy, find the forest, and have a good one.
#ForestFriday - Up Close!
Here are some artsy fartsy photos I tried to take with the new iPhone. *shrug*
Photos taken in Northern, as in far north, Minnesota… near Canada and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I hope you can escape to the forest soon, even if just through these photos.
#WayBackWednesday - Olympic National Park
I’m working on being more positive and upbeat so here are some photos from my trip back in March to the beautiful Olympic National Park in Washington State. When I need a moment at work, or anywhere else, I just try to remember my three glorious days in the trees and on the beach in the Olympic Peninsula. What do you do to take mental breaks? Where does your mind wander in a daydream? Feel free to share your magical places. Have a great Wednesday and week ahead. You’ve got this!

#ForestFriday - Hoh Rain Forest
When I visited this area of Olympic National Park in March, I had sunny skies and mild temperatures. With my limited time, I opted to walk the Hall of Mosses trail and a little of the Hoh River trail. The drive in and out of the Hoh Rain Forest was a real treat, following the river with little openings exposing the mountains in the background. Enjoy the mosses, ferns, and trees from my quick, but beautiful trip.
#ForestFriday - Chugach National Forest in Alaska
June 2017: I hiked through parts of Alaska and it included trails in the Chugach National Forest. I went to many places in the ten days I was there, but this place was one of the most magical for me. From moss covered trees to mountain views, this forest had it all. Happy Forest Friday and I hope you find yourself among the trees this weekend.
