I'm a free spirited aging hippie
who loves talking to flowers, chasing rainbows
and photographing all the beauty that surrounds us
Thanks for taking a peek into my little world

Over a ridge 
down in a forgotten valley
sits this lonely little barn
  left for the elements to whittle away at

Old Meets New

At sunset
Ruins of an old
Indian Shaker Church Village
with a majestic backdrop
of The Dalles Dam
stretching across the Columbia River.
The ruins are in Oregon
the hills are in Washington.

I Dream of Rain

We haven't had rain
except for a split-second tease
in over 2 months
Parched and dry
fire danger is very high
Anyone know a good rain dance?

Bridge spanning the Columbia River

enjoying some R&R
and taking lots of pics!
