this is way slower on my moms' computer.

if i knew how to put photography up here, i'd show you these weird plants that were following us on our hike today. they looked like salmonberry plants in miniature, but i don't think they were. they have three leaves on a single stem, but one must scrutinise heavily the plants to see the stem, so they look like they're floating. the reeeeeeally mysterious part was that EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS THE SAME COLOUR OF KHAKI. creepy. it felt like when we stopped looking, they got up and moved. there was also a raven following us, making woodpecker noises. creepy as well. my "hiking friend" talks a lot, though, so i felt okay. actually, my "h-f" is a kind and humourous girl, so i felt better than okay. and skookum falls is WAY cooler from up close than it is from the highway. and ravens are supposedly old loggers who've passed on, so maybe it was my grandfather saying "hi!" and we just didn't know it.
