RE: SteemitPhotoChallenge 17 Entry 1 - The Emerald Valley, Lane County, Oregon
I missed this one the first time around - this is some seriously beautiful countryside.
I've got family in Oregon though have not been to visit in ages. I think I know where we will go next time I'm there !
Speaking of hazelnut trees. Funny story... I noticed my dog was eating these pods this summer from one of two trees in my back yard (the other is a cherry tree). I was concerned she was getting into something she shouldn't be, and then realized after a friend pointed it out, that it is a hazelnut tree.
Soon I started foraging and eating the pods too (or the nuts in the pods anyway). I lived here for several years and never noticed that in my own backyard.
I just followed you, and am looking forward to learning more about homesteading and your surroundings.
