Down the trail toward the fireplace…

looking West…

along the Columbia River Slough….rarely is anyone along the trail. Solitude aplenty.

Imagination…

“I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.” Lawrence Durrell

 

into the woods…

But in every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks. ~John Muir, July 1877

the flow of the waterfall…

“Waterfalls are exciting because they have power, they have rainbows, they have songs, and they have boldness and craziness!” Mehmet Murat ildan

always feels good…

Born and raised in the Pacific NW of the U.S., I am accustomed to moisture, evergreens and moss. So when I travel to the SW desert region, I am always captivated by the cacti and rugged terrain. Oh, also the Winter chill is countered by pleasant sunshine and warmth. I know it can get cold there and, of course, blazing hot. Timing is everything.

Solitude…

No one in sight…
