Summer Green

Each of these pictures were taken while on a walk through the woods near the Santiam River. The colors are so rich, vibrant and worth sharing with those of you who appreciate nature as much as I do.

Very beautiful. I'm enjoying God's creation more and more these days!
I wonder how shook up Willow and John were from the earthquake. Dear said he felt it pretty good in Camarillo...
My parents were really close to the epicenter and they had stuff fall off shelves.

We did the trip to Bako but it was extremely tough for me. Way too much climbing, and without stairs. We had to hold on to roots all the way and not possible to simply hold any tree, could be poisonous! My son would love that big spiderweb!! he really likes them
