The Roosevelt elk are back to visit in the field across the street. We see them there in the early morning, waking up and starting to head out. They start moving out as the sun starts to rise, and are almost out of the field by the time it's light enough to get a picture. They are big enough for me NOT to get close enough for a flash to work in the dark. Majesty is a good word for these beautiful creatures.
I know that frost is really not good for most plants, but frost gives such a (dare I say it?) cool accent to them. Fascinating.
A frosty cold morning here in Forks. Cool weather at last!

This fellow CDPer and his wife visited us today in Forks while on their vacation on the Olympic Peninsula. We met at JTs Sweet Stuff on our main street and were able to converse over a cup of joe. We had an interesting time. Thanks for calling and coming by!
... Forest, of course (this was taken on the walk to Marymere Falls, voted the best hike on the Olympic Peninsula).
... and more forest, since there's so much here.
...Ferns in the forest (you can't keep the ferns from growing everywhere - they're even growing up from underneath our deck).
... Cape Flattery framed by firs (Cape Flattery is the most NW point on the 48 lower states).
... and, as a quilter, I had to include fabric at Chinook Pharmacy here in Forks.
