hollyking | Forest Sprites

Since it was such a nice day today hollyqueen and I went out for a nice hike. We went to Tryon Creek State Natural Area which is a marvelous park. In fact it's the only Oregon state park inside any major metropolitan area.

About 1/3 of the way into our hike we were passed by a couple of young nymphs jogging down the trail. After a while I could hear some laughter and the shouts of kids having fun. As we rounded the bend we discovered that they were in fact nyads and they were playing in the creek. Mmmm... Naked nymphs splashing in the water. Too damn bad I didn't have the camera ready to go right then.

I'll have to go hike there more often. ;)
