Lake Quinault



Here are some pictures I took this morning on our morning walk.

First: Proof positive that it does sunshine in the Rain Forest. even in the Winter










The little bird in the picture is no bigger than your two thumbs put together
































We saw five large salmon going up this stream. I don't think they can make itup the falls. Atleast none of them did while we were watching. The fish were about three feet long and probably wieghed around 15 lbs.










The trail along the edge of the lake. Moss growing on everything. It was so peaceful and quiet. A few birds chirping the background lap of small waves on the shore.
Very restful. Just what the doctor ordered.
We had a wonderful dinner last night. Braised salmon for two, served on a cedar plank, with Lobster mashed potatoes, and seared vegetables. A berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream for desert. We waddled back to the room and went into a food coma.

Damn, I wish I'd been there! I could use a break today.

Rick: after a very nice morning, it settled down to do what it does best around here: Pour rain. But that was OK, because it just gave us an excuse to kick back.
