Peace runs threads through everything and nothing, how to find the triggers is the challenge for me. I have stood in moments of awe and beauty, even love, and it has passed me by. Today I am on a ledge, and joy runs through every moment. It is in the sky, the water and the memory of bathing in the light. The town is alive, I’m going back in.

From the Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain,

My daughter calls this place, “Huckleberry Heaven”, officially, it’s the “Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness”. Not to mention the thimbleberries, wild rhododendrons and everything else that thrives along the way.

Down below, in the shadows, you can see “Mirror Lake” (featured in my “All in a Day’s Walk” photo). Aside from Mt Hood, that big volcanic thing, front and center, you can see, Mt Saint Helens, Mt Rainier, and Mt Adams. Go large view if you want a clear view. I'm not 100% sure, which one is which.


When I am up there, I feel I can touch the sky. Although, sometimes, the sky will come to you. My fondest memory is walking down with my daughter as the snow began to fall.

I would say more, but the photo can do the talking !!!

What once was close, now seems far.

Our landscape is dotted with spaces for birds. For those who stay, for those who stop and fly away.

Lakes, rivers and ponds, weave between the crops, fields, houses, businesses and malls.

Prime land for those who delight our lives with colour, flight and call.

I often wonder around the lake with my daughter. It is full of life and now, with leaves that fall.

In the time I had to lie in bed and rest, friends have been to ICU, two came home, one was laid to rest. RIP my friend.

Yet, I am still here to see the season change, to be with the people I love and savour the day. So I count myself blessed to still be here to share with you all, before it's time to rest.

Thanks to everyone for the love and support :-)
