Traveling E ...

Latourell Falls Sheppard's Dell Bridal Veil (video below) Multnomah Falls (gorgeous weather, tons of people every where, mid afternoon.) Multnomah Falls (pouring down rain, grey, maybe 3 people walking around,  5 including the 2 of us. early AM.) Horsetail Falls (video below) Elowah Falls (long hike, but well worth it when you get to the falls. video below.) If you know anything about me, you will know I love waterfalls, ALL waterfalls are great in my book. Since I was wee high to a grasshopper, I've seen pics of "Multnomah Falls" in travels books, I wondered if I would ever get to Oregon to see it, I never imagined that I would have the chance to mark it off my list.  I did narrow it down to 1 photo of each of these amazing waterfalls, please know their are tons more, but that would clog up the blog-sphere for years. Please don't miss out on the videos too, I would have loved to have...

Such a gorgeous vista, all high up and you can see for miles. Click this link for more history and info about the  "Vista House, Oregon" . What a view. Please enjoy!! It was a small parking lot with lots of folks visiting. Several gift shops (& bathrooms too!) are located throughout the Vista House. Beth ( :

I don't get why they call it "Haystack Rock", I have seen folks who pile up their hay like this, but to me it looks nothing of a haystack? Hay is nice and soft, this is a hard tough rock with lots of seagulls and seagull pooh on top. Just saying??!  Please enjoy the video from that day. So windy, an overcast day, & all the amazing sea creatures we got to see, which was so fun. I did try to get up close with a few seagulls, but they were not having it!! Guess they don't like getting social with people unless you have food?! All I wanted was a good picture??! Is that too much to ask? Beth ( :

What a gorgeous beach. We always make sure to check with the locals of where to go before we leave the state, & Ruby Beach was a must see for sure. Just amazing views to be seen. When we 1st got there the fog was there, & then it just rolled away in a very short time walking to the beach. it was wild!!! Very misty fog. Just amazing!!!  Check out this video of our walk along the beach. Enjoy! Beth ( :

This post is in memory of my friend: Tina Forrester aka. "CameraGirl". She and her husband were lost this week in a tragic car accident. Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond" . We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...

You do have to get a pass to travel on these tribal lands. We got ours at the local grocery store. The hike, the views & everything having to do with this area is so worth the price. I will allow you to go back up & drool over those views again. I have so many shots that I could have & would have shared, but you might go Washington overload. Is that possible??! I think not. Please take a listen to this video of our hike & the amazing views. Be sure to turn up the volume to listen to the birds, winds, boats, & waves. So many amazing sounds. Enjoy your day! Beth  ( :

This is a great park, lots of walking & even a WWII bunker. I would show you pics of the bunker but they are so dark, the pics just didn't turn out well, so I will show you shots from around the park.  We met some many friendly folks. A couple from Alabama originally who wanted to be sure of all the sights we were going to see & ones we should not miss. A couple from Kentucky who had flown out to see Washington & couldn't not believe we had driven the whole out. "red skies at night sailors delight, red skies in the morn sailors be morn." I am sure you know that saying. I have heard it for years. I did wake up early to check different colors. it's the simple things that will get me out of bed early. so well worth it for sure. ( : Please check out this vlog from the evening, I am still drooling over all these amazing views. Washington you are so so gorgeous. You go girl!!! Show off, I am so watching. Beth ( :
