Dagobah

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Alissa

Caution

A few weeks ago when I was in Portland, my friend Amy took me to the Dagobah system.

Amy

It was actually the Audubon Society. But I’m pretty sure Yoda lived there.

Mossy

Every surface was dripping with moss (and rain).

Fern

The ferns felt like they were growing right in front of our eyes.

Moss

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many different kinds of moss and lichens.

Raging river

And so much water.

Salamander

Along the way we met some friends.

Peregrine falcon

Including a peregrine falcon with a deformed talon who had been rescued and raised in captivity. I’m pretty sure the Force was strong with him.

More Portland photos.

    so magical! I need to visit this place. last summer I went to the falls when it was raining and it’s true, the plants and moss seemed to be growing right in front of our eyes.
