– Sharing gifts in this time –
Do you revisit old talents?  Routines?
continuing and revitalizing those skills you’ve  honed?
Or do you try anew?
Touching lightly, failing and focusing to try again.
Building learning and delighting in another way?

What is your focus today? Tomorrow? this week this month this now.

Remembering I am forgetting…
reaching through and past what I hold dear,
hoping, trusting – feeling fear – as I seek to find what I have forgotten.
I am here. I am me, my my.  in here –  somewhere.

Reaching and Descending

Winter’s depth, but snow gives way to rain.
Above – gray light bathes everything, filtering down with the rain
to make bright boughs glisten their emerald green.

Visiting a waterfall on a calm day; summer’s gone, fall is here.
End of day is earlier, and with it some light to bath in.

Tiger Lily

A tiger lily from a recent hike in the gorge.  I hadn’t been back there since the eagle creek wildfire last year.  It was really nice to see the lush green of that waterfall filled landscape.  As well as thimbleberries, a smattering of wildflowers, and this late blooming tiger lily.

Spring is well underway here in Portland – indeed now it is summer.
This from a colorful patch of poppies down the street,
after harvesting 12 pounds of strawberries and making pie.

Snowflake #15

Portland got a nice week of intermittent snow storms.
I got my macro gear setup to try and capture some of the little beauties.
They were hard to find and mostly melted, but this one lingered long enough to dance.

Crimson Apple

Complex, sweet, but in a fruity and cider like way.  A hard bite, not quite snappy, certainly not mushy.  Crimson.
