In This Spot

Treasure Hunt : Cicada Awakening
So fellow travelers, I had one last post from our trip to Portland left to finish. It was actually one of the first posts I created. Initially I thought having only two photos to work with was what held the words back. My writing flows mainly from the images I have either in my head […]

Zen Moment with Mount Adams
So fellow travelers, while meandering in nature I periodically encounter a spirit presence I call Buddha rocks. Something in the shape of these earth bound teachers catches my eye and as they hold my attention I sense a connection which defies explanation.
