Spring Is In The Air

This is the best time of year. The natural world is awaking from the long winter slumber.

          A  hike in the Willamette National Forest is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

I was excited to see wildflowers like bleeding-hearts, trillium and cylopso orchids popping up. 

Spring Is In The Air!

I hope this visual vacation inspires you to go out and enjoy the wildflowers spring

has to offer.

Last of Summer

            

Here we are again, September. 

My eyes weep for past memories of my Father and little Sister, 

while I try and smile thinking about the incredible summer that has blossomed around me.  

It is always difficult to say goodbye, even though I know that it is the only way to move on.

This New Moon is a Solar Eclipse in Virgo, said to open a doorway into the new. 

If change truly is the only constant in life, now is time to tap into that frame of mind.

There is something wonderful about waking up in a new place to start the new year.  

It awakens the idea of possibilities that are offered in the beginning of any new adventure.

You don't have to go far to find something new - sometimes exploring nearby can lead to discoveries of 
overlooked gems you never knew existed. 

All you must do is take the key and open the door.

I hope these photos inspire you to go out and find undiscovered natural gems around you.

If the steps are taken, you will be surprised at what is found.

A Visual Winter Getaway

When winter in the Northwest gets to be drab, it is time for a getaway.

With warm sunny days by the sea and flowers always in bloom, 

a trip to San Diego will knock out any winter blues. 

I invite you to join me on a visual winter getaway.
