trees.

I like trees.

I had a wet, winter hike in Tryon Creek State Park yesterday and saw SO many beautiful trees.

Here are a few of my favorite tree pics.....

Miss Rainier

I love this photo.

Mt. Rainier has always taken my breath away. When I visit my family up there, she always welcomes me with her beauty.

This shot is especially beautiful.

this may be the coolest thing I have ever seen.....

2012 is here!

Today's Buddha quote made me smile. If you didn't get a chance to see it, here it is:

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

Such a wonderful metaphor....

September Mt. St. Helens Climb

Last summer, a group of us climbed Mt. St. Helens. It was a perfect day for a nice climb. Here are pictures from that day!

Fun Weekend

Bill's friend Guava and her two adorable kids came to PDX for a visit. Bill and I also managed to get some time in on the river after Guava started her drive back to Bellingham.

Here are a few pics from this busy weekend.

Make a wish....
