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.

after harvesting 12 pounds of strawberries and making pie.

Climate Spiral

This Climate Spiral, as I call the altar, is made on this day of the people’s climate march, toward the end of a week of solidarity.  It was inspired by hearing about the water blessings taking place in Washington DC before the day’s events begin.

I build this altar.  Recognizing that the earth is whole, and shall be fine.  Also recognizing that we are at choice, we can influence how quickly our planet changes and what will be lost.

Contemplate, make your choices, add your unique voice.

On a pleasantly cloudy day with passing showers we visited Wooden Shoe Tulip farm and enjoyed the delicious vibrance of many many tulip varieties.  From white to red to pink and blue, with ruffles, points, variations, and flowers within flowers.  Wondrous sights and borderline overwhelming variety and bounty.   Highly recommended.

NicholasTravers_DSCN9269_Heading home from work these past weeks it has been such a joy going past all the lovely gardens full of colourful tulips and other spring flowers – all glowing in the evening light.  The sun was strong and the trees have just started filling in with bright green leaves.  I find it amazing how quickly we have passed beyond the equinox and the time change – leaving us with long bright evenings.  This particular day there was a some high cloud that produced a fun halo around the sun.  can you tell what is on top of the building?
