Shimmering Gold in Olympic National Forest, Washington

We were walking through the dense Olympic National Forest in Washington following a trail through the decaying and rapidly growing forest. The northwest amazes me at how fast everything grows! The smells were verdant and intoxicating in the thick air. I turned to look behind me and saw a shimmer of gold through the deep green foliage. Curious as to what it could possibly be I started off to find the source. I found this little rocky creek catching the last rays of sunset turning it a liquid gold. Hope you like it.

  4. I love the colors! I hope it was quiet enough there to hear the water flowing against the rocks and foliage.

    1. Thanks Anita! Yes, it was very quiet. I found this gem in Olympic National Park and there wasn't a soul around.
