Mattole valley, Humboldt County, California, part one

[mike_c]

My partner, my brother, and I took a drive through the Mattole valley in Humboldt County, California last Saturday. We took a bunch of photos. I'll spread some of them over a couple of threads rather than post them all at once.

On edit: Here is the ongoing gallery: https://mcamann.smugmug.com/Misc-photos/

3. Footprints on sand usually remind me of this one...

"
...
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

From: A Psalm of Life
BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

And there's water in that river!

Thank you for this glimpse of beauty early on a Monday.
