Today we walked through a temperate rainforest, saw a banana slug (and were asked if we wanted to lick it), caught some eagles in the rain looking dour and ran into a bear!
It’s a blurry picture but captures the excitement and slight terror of the moment as they were just moments before on our elevated walkway!
Oh, and the featured image is a type of lichen called Old Man’s Beard — it only grows in the purest of air. When it is exposed to any sort of pollution it will die and wither within hours.
