Happy Fence Friday from Loeb State Park near Harris Beach, Oregon (+5 insets)

Happy Fence Friday from Loeb State Park near Harris Beach, Oregon (+5 insets)
(+5 insets)

Thank Goodness For Photography!!!
Since today is Happy Fence Friday (hooray!), I must add my contribution, as I am a total junky for this crazy day too (I remember when I first encountered pictures labeled with "HFF" and was like…what is the DEAL with FENCES? Why is this even a thing?! Little did I know the insanity that would eventually come over me every time I find a cool fence or bridge or whatever might be acceptable for this day.)!

Looking for a proper HFF contribution, I peeked in my finished pictures folder for our first campground stop at Harris Beach State Park and lo' and behold, discovered another folder inside. It was for a nearby place called Loeb State Park, and when I looked inside and found three pictures, one of which was this bridge shot. I could just barely remember this area. I looked at my trip notes…nothing. I guess I hadn't gotten around to mentioning our hike that day. Shucks. I went back to digging for clues.

I went over to my folder of unfinished pictures for this place and it started to become clear. I oriented myself with a look at Google Maps, and suddenly, it all came back with a rush of memories. THIS PLACE!!! OH YEAH!!! I REMEMBER! WHAT A DAY! :D Scrolling through the pictures, I smiled and sighed in joy, stepping back in time to the beautiful trail we walked, the little waterfalls, the river, the flowers, the glow of springtime taking over…how lucky we were!

I can't help but stop and think about the reality: if I hadn't taken all of these pictures, I'd have totally forgotten about this beautiful hike we took back in April. So much has happened since the beginning of our trip! There really isn't any way to keep it all straight except to take pictures and write down my impressions. I have tried to keep up with trip notes but it takes time, energy and a well of creativity to spend time writing. I don't always do it. But with the pictures, my memories are preserved and take me back to where I was. I say it again: THANK GOODNESS FOR PHOTOGRAPHY! (And Jenny, I'm thinking about you too--we've had conversations about the bad idea of travelling without recording the adventure in any way, just hoping the memories will be there. They probably won't! Here's the proof!)

Today's Picture
Loeb State Park has a small, primitive campground (no power or electricity) for tent campers and small trailers. What a special place to stay, it's just beautiful! The park also has a gorgeous trail which takes hikers along the Chetco River, past small waterfalls and through a gorgeous forest complete with dappled sunlight filtering down through the trees.

This bridge was in a perfect spot for a cool picture and Steve and I had a great time playing with different angles and getting panoramas with our phone cameras too. It's wonderful to have an excuse to take pictures of fences and bridges because they really are neat, aren't they?

Today's Insets
I have so many pictures to share, but five insets will be perfect for today! You'll see the magnificent Chetco River and one of the many streams that had cascading waterfalls. A dappled trail picture is mandatory too! I have a view up through the trees to the blue sky peeking through and finally, a stunning white trillium blossom which looks ready for a wedding!

Thank You For the Visits and Amazing Comments!
I hope you're all having a wonderful start of your week. I want to tell you all how much your comments have meant to me--you've totally made my day with the things you've said! I'm totally glowing and truly delighted that I can make you guys happy with the images I've been sharing. :) Also, it's been such FUN to go around and visit! What a massive talent ipernity has! What a fine community…and what a lovely group of friends I have in you all. Have a super week and keep staying safe if you can!

Really gorgeous photos!!! If I had to choose, difficult as it would be to do, I would choose the 1st inset. I've never been able to take even mediocre landscape photos. Also enjoyed reading the story. You made very good use of your trips By the way, I still don't have any idea where HFF (also HBM) came from

Hello Rashid, the HFF Group was created 8 years ago and had already several moderators. With regard to HBM, this group is much more recent, it was founded last year by "Biobauer", who in the meantime left Ipernity (now there are three new moderators). Both groups are really busy every Friday (HFF) and every Monday (HBM).

Janet your wonderful shots of nature make me want to go camping again. Sadly. I'm too old now and Chris is passed coping with walking anywhere but to and from the bedroom. Never mind . I'll just have to be satisfied with sharing your experiences of the outdoors through your gorgeous images.

I too would have liked to walk across this impressive wooden bridge, framed by beautiful fern plants, and enjoy the primeval forest-like landscape. The white trillium is very beautiful. This plant does not exist in Europe, it is only found in North America and Canada.

What delightful photos, Janet. Yes I do remember saying how strange I find it, when I hear from friends that they go visiting places, but don't take pictures - are they mad? This visit of yours proves how easy it is to forget somewhere, but photos bring back wonderful memories.

I love the river picture - it looks great. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. x

Where the Myrtlewoods grow! Gotta love oregon forests. really nice. love seeing a trillium. we had those in the woods i grew up in at my mom's house. there's still a few that crop up near the path to her front door each year.

and yes, isn't it fascinating how the HFF thing grows on one?
