Morning Drive Through Redwood National Forest

On Saturday I took a ride up US101 in search of Elk....

Unfortunately, the Elk must have been in a conference in Vegas...

Fortunately, the views never disappoint. The light was shining "just right" through the Redwoods

...and life was good even without an elk sighting....

Flower Friday

Now that I have discovered Arcata's Interpretive Marsh I can't seem to stay away. I see myself spending many more of my mornings admiring the scenery!

The plant life is beautiful, and I enjoyed shooting the many different wildflowers  that fill the park!!

Thistles are in various states of bloom

I just love Queen Annes' Lace, it is everywhere in both the marsh and along the coast.

I can only guess these are wild lillies, if anyone knows what they are please let me know.

Same flower, slight variation on shape and color.

Blue daisies
