The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Sense of Touching: This week you can post anything that stimulates or delights your sense of touch. It can be thorns on a rose, a soft baby’s face or tree bark. Be creative and have fun. Most of all I hope you have fun.

The water level has risen since our last visit, so I missed out on seeing the old Salmon Falls bridge that pops out of the […]
