I was only in OR for two full days but we did a lot!
The first park we visited was called Shore Acres. We took a guided hike that led us around the coast and then through the woods, and, for the first time in my life, I was up close and personal with northwest sized trees. I wanted Victor to take a picture of me hugging the tree to show the proportion but I resisted because (a) of the cliche and (b) there is really no need to give people more ammunition about my tree hugging hippy tendencies.
Above are views of the ocean from the park. The mystery men are Victor and Victor's friend Ryan, who is training to be a Buddhist monk.
At the second beach there was a long rocky jetty that we clamored out on. Ryan and Victor totally out-clamored me, but then, they had been doing this for years. The first picture is looking out from the beach, the second is looking back at the beach from the jetty and the third is me looking over the ocean from an overlook above the beach.
Anna, IMO tree hugging photos should be captured, not avoided! Give the people what they want! Although maybe the proportion of you to the tree is looming larger in my mind than it would if I had photographic documentation, either way, I hope it was a BIG tree.
