Good morning beautiful people. I'm now weight bearing in the boot. It won't be long now and I'll be back out taking pictures. Sending love and positive thoughts. Be kind and keep shining 🌟

My surgery went well. Now let the recovery time begin. I will be back out taking pictures and sauntering through the forest in a few short months, then making post once again. Take care of yourselves. Be kind and let your love shine ❤️

The misty fog rolls down the valley as the sun begins to shine, A quiet world that leaves me still and whispers you are mine The green peaks emerge above to paint the waking skies, A sweeping world of endless grace before my humbled eyes. Joy and peace to you. Keep shining #cascades #poetry #pnw

Lifting far beneath the blue, the crowns of stone, come into view. Three silent sisters stand apart; a sight that stills the rushing heart. Sometimes I fell like I'm on top of the world. What a beautiful place to live and enjoy. #poem #pnw #threesisters #cascades

The sun-baked granite shears away, A plunging drop to forest deep, Where windswept wilderness expands And shadows of the raptors sweep. Above the peaks, a line of white Fades soft into a turquoise sky. An open challenge carved in stone Where only the wind and daring fly. What a view!

The purple aster softly gleams, Besides the lupine's blue-lit beams. And pearly everlasting glows, Where sweet wild lotus softly blows. A splash of bold, bright paintbrush red, Ignites this alpine flowerbed, A painted carpet, high and free, In nature's quiet sanctuary. Holland Meadows my favorite

A brush of plum across the sky, Where fading yellow lingers high. The calm lake mirrors every hue, And splits the violet from the blue. A tiny island, oh so small, Watches the golden twilight fall. (Lake Lahontan~ Silver Springs, NV side) Good night to you all.

Beneath the bridge, in lush green grass, The lazy summer hours pass. On mossy rocks, slick, damp, and cool, Leopard frogs overlook the pool. They watch the quiet water gleam, Then leap into the mountain stream. (Modoc National Forest Park in California) It was a nice trip, but glad to be home.

Hidden beneath the emerald vine, Unseen, the clustered globes recline. Drinking the warmth of summer's ray, We dream of that approaching day. Soon will the gentle sunbeams sink, And paint them in a blushing pink, Waking the sweet and tender hue, Waiting for Autumn's kiss of dew.

A canopy of endless blue, Where mountain peaks touch heaven's hue. The sun pours down its golden light, On emerald valleys, soft and bright. A painted world, vast and serene, Where summer reigns the quiet scene. Hope your all enjoying this season. Be kind and keep on shining.

No leaves to catch the summer sun It's green and growing days are done. A mossy snag made of wood It gives back, as it once stood. A feathered nest, a squirrel's keep A quiet space where beetles sleep. #poetry #forest #pnw #cascades Hope you're having a wonderful day.

Long purple cones reach for the sky, A sweet, honeyed feast for the butterfly. Soft, painted wings flutter and land, A delicate dance in the summer wind's hand. #butterfly #pnw #poetry #cascades #summertime #bluesky

A ceiling made of leafy lace, With dappled light upon my face. I gaze into the endless deep, Where Summer secrets wait to keep. A sudden breeze begins to blow, And makes the emerald canopy glow. The leaves begin to wiggle in the gust, Shaking away some Summer dust. #pnw #forest #poetry #çascades

My friends came for a visit this weekend and this picture came up in my memories of when I went to visit them. Some memories are worth sharing. About 9 miles South of Astoria, OR is this beautiful 54-foot tall Youngs River Falls.

My love took me two miles up, into the mountains to pick some wildflowers. Aren't they lovely? I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend 😊 #wildflowers #pnw #cascades

A sweeping wash of starry blue Where damp spring meadows drink the dew The Camas paints the valley floor It's edible bulbs, prized even more A crucial food source for early settlers here When cooked, they taste sweet like a pear. (Common Camas) #pnw #poetry #wildflowers #cascades

Small yellow blooms in dappled light, Tucked where the cool stream flows, Shyly hidden, soft and bright, That's where the wild violets grow. (Stream violets) Good morning bluesky it's been a while. I hope today gives you lots of reasons to smile.

Brown-capped speckle, veil torn away, Hiding in moss at the edge of the day. Tawny and charming, with white warts dressed, A deadly poison in a quiet rest. Look but don't touch the forest's deep dream, The Pantherina is not what it seems. #mushroom #pnw #poetry #moss

No poetry or words of wisdom this morning. Just me wishing you a calm and relaxing Sunday. Good morning Bluesky friends. Picture is of a mill pond at the old Industrial park in Oakridge, Or.

The forest first green is a yellow gold As buds appear and start to unfold. The air is thick with scented life, A momentary pause from strife. The woods are dressed in bright array, Beckoning us to come and stay. May you have a fabulous Friday. #forestfriday #forest #pnw #cascades #poetry

No sapphire hue or frosty blue, It's porcelain bells and shimmering dew. Growing sturdy, straight and tall, Waiting for the dew to fall. A garden traveler, wild and free, Finds it's home beneath a tree. Hope you have a lovely evening. #poetry #wildflowers #pnw #cascades

A sunny, wild, and cheerful weed that brings a bloom to those in need. Crush the bloom and it bleeds red to heal a bruise or sooth the head. Gathered at midnight on the saint's holy day St. John's Wort is thought to charm all witches away. Happy Thursday! #pnw #cascades #wildflowers #poetry
