This view of the Tye River rushing into a narrow spot shows why kayakers love this area. The crystal clear waters crash over rocks creating lovely white water flowing between heavily wooded banks. Each shore is lined by huge slabs of granite is various shades of gray, plastered with moss and lichens. The woods are mostly moss covered, extremely tall evergreens: hemlock, redcedar, whose understory is full of ferns and huckleberries hanging over the top of the granite walls above the river

Monty contemplates the scenery on the trail at the Deception Falls National Recreation Area. The small gray shih tzu is wearing a bright aqua raincoat, and is sitting on a trail covered with pine needles. The slightly blurred scene in front of him is a downward slope covered by a mix of upright and fallen evergreen trees covered with moss, on a floor of deer ferns and other late spring herbaceous forest plants. The light is full of green, the feeling serene.
