Black Bear – Rogue Wild and Scenic (4)

Day 3 – October 21

Throughout the first two days of our river adventure, we saw deer, soaring osprey and eagles, the herons along the banks, and a few salmon jumping the falls upstream.   The hot coffee, fat breakfast and invigorating hike were a great start to our final day.  But, it was just the beginning…

About Laurie Merritt Photography

Hello visitors, and thank-you so much for stopping by! Classes are over, back-to-back internships completed, and I anticipate having my Photographic Technology degree in my hands this May!! Over the past 2-3 years, your responses to my posts have indeed helped sustain my passion for my photography. My only hope is that these images have improved and that they reflect the lessons learned in school. I certainly feel they have, but your “likes” and “comments” continue to confirm it. Again, I appreciate your taking a peek. Deep thanks from a grateful photographer.
