This post includes a few pictures that I took on a hike yesterday at Basket Slough near Dallas, Oregon. It was a nice sunny day. The flower is commonly called Camas Lily---it was a staple in the diet of the Native Indians of the Northwest. Basket Slough is a National Wildlife Refuge that winters many varieties of waterfowl as well as a number of other kinds of birds. There are also many varieties of wildflowers that bloom in the spring that are native to the area.

I love the Baskett Slough! Didn't know there were any UHH members in or around Salem. I have divided my time between Oregon and Az but as of next month am moving to Salem year round for the next 2 years.
I like your images. The lily is beautiful!

The correct spelling for the place is "Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge." I forgot the second "t."

Just a side note. In Salem, Oregon there is a digital photography club that meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7 pm in the meeting hall near McDonald's on South Commercial.
