Quarantine Springs
Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon USA
I'll be honest. I feel a little guilty about posting this. I've hesitated to say anything about how fortunate that I am to be living where I do, especially since we've all been on detention.
Where I live it's convenient for me to walk out my back door and down to the Sandy River. I have a hiking trail in my own backyard. I'm also so familiar with this area that I know of special places that I can drive to within a five mile radius from my home where I can just stop on the side of a back road, hop out and snap photos of the forest with nobody around.
This is one of those spots. Some of you might recognize this place from previous photographs that I've posted here that were so full of moss.
I'm fortunate, true, but I live where I do by design. I've sacrificed a lot of things that many are unwilling to live without so that I can have so much. And I do have so much, and I'm thankful for it all. Since I was a boy I knew that I wanted to live in the woods near a stream. that seed was planted a long time ago, and the fruit tastes pretty good right about now.
I just hope that my photos bring some sort of comfort to those who aren't able to go out into the forest.
I took this photo yesterday afternoon.
