Holy Places and Night flowers

Memorial Day backpack trip to the convergence of Royal Creek and The Dungeness River: Here the water is glacier blue, large boulders are all around this area, covered with moss, and ferns grow from them. I guess they were moved by Glacier activity. This trail is near Sequim, and way up the mountain, the hike in is only a mile to this campsite, and Royal Basin is about 6 miles from there. It is stunningly beautiful place to hike, the shame is, few hikers I have seen seem to see the incredible beauty there, being so busy hiking. There is one area with a campsite that is so green, and the light is soft and muted, it is a holy place.


When I came back from the Dungeness, I found my peonies and roses in full bloom, so I took these night shots to share.
