Tillamook Head Trail, Oregon ~ June 27, 2009
This is one of the views of vegetation along the Tillamook Head trail (you can see Tillamook Head from Seaside in yesterday's post). This is what the vegetation looks like in one spot. The amazing thing to me is how much and how rapidly it changed all along the trail of several miles. I'll show you more later, and I'll also show views from the top. For much of the trail, you're encased in dense forest, but there are points where you can look out over the ocean. The orange berries are salmonberries, found along the coast from Alaska to California. By the way, here is a fantastic aerial overview photo showing the trail. You can also see that this is one of the places to see undistrubed old-growth trees, because you'll see the brown logged patches in the photo.

Whatever you say, whatever you show, this name will always be cheese and yoghurt only. To me that is! :-)
I love salmonberries in the spring! Their delicate pink blossoms and bright orange fruit ... yummy!
