Scent of wild rose and marine air

Catching up from tulips to today isn’t possible but....

The garden 

                    

                         

     

                                                     Birk’s, living room, rabbit foot fern.
                                                     Garden, bird baths and more.

Quinault Rain Forest and Lodge

Been coming here for 15 years or so.

It's a relaxing place if you like hanging out and nature walks. WiFi basically doesn't work here.

Built in 50 some days long ago.

Historical.

Quinault Lodge

This is a favorite place I found exploring by myself years ago.

I have enjoyed coming here to restore and often meet up with people I perchance to meet and connect with.

Today I met Ann and Stan from NY.

They've been coming here for 25 years from NY.

I've been coming here for maybe 16 years. But they come every year.

The lodge was built in a little over 2 months time in 1929. Trees below are only 85 years old.
