High water mark…

Once the waters recede, that peaceful, easy feeling returns….

Cloud bank over ocean…

and the setting sun off Oregon Coast.

Or, it’s just one big mess…😀

“There is a subtle magic in the falling of old leaves.” Avijeet Das

I have a few trees (aspen, birch, dogwood) that are dropping their leaves for the next few weeks…my neighbors have large maples that will shed their leaves into my yard into December…the ‘beauty’ becomes tiresome by then and the ‘magic’ has lost its appeal by then.

forever grateful…

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” Proust

peaceful backwater…

A quiet spot on a back channel of the Lewis R. in Washington state.

Sooner than later…

‘You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Oregon Coast…

near Arch Cape, on the Oregon coast.
