Snow Days (Part 2)

The snow is melting away now. Yesterday was very icy. Each step sounded like thunder as I stepped through the layer of ice to the mushy snow below.  Icicles were falling off trees on the walk home from work. Now it's mostly mush outside.

There's been on and off mistiness in the air and the skies are grey! The rainy grey days have finally arrived I think.

Also other head thinking. It was fun sticking my head out the window and feeling the cool air blow through my hair and listening to snow melt off the trees and rooftops. 

Also tonight I get to see mewithoutYou and I couldn't ask for more ideal weather! This will be my first time seeing them since moving out west and also the first time since the release of Ten Stories!

Beyond excited! Every moment I see them is much needed and well remembered. I'm sure in a few days when I've had time to mellow I can expand on this excitement.

Right now I'm in super mellow head spot.

I've waited about 5 years to see them live again!!!! Aaaaah!! 

Snow Flurries!

Winter ain't over just yet dudes and dudettes! It may not stick today but I hear tale of more snow Saturday. Here's to hoping and dreaming on magic.

Winter

Winter is coming. 

19 days away, but it got cold fast.

I wouldn't mind a little more rain.

I'm mildly surprised at the amount of sunny days as of late.

Coooollld but sunny.

I know snow isn't a common thing in this town but I hope a little will linger this year.

And now I will cook eggs and hot chocolate. 

Adventuring At Mt Tabor

Today I went wandering around one of my favorite places in Portland: Mt Tabor.

Incase you didn't Mt Tabor is an extinct volcano! Just whoa! 

I walked where once upon a time there there was probably nothing more than lava.

Now there are trees so tall you can't help but think you've walked into a cathedral. 

It's days like this made me lust for the Pacific Northwest.

This is Cascadia. 

The misty rain against my face. 

The smell of the Great Sequoia trees blowing through the air.

The sound of mud being stomped below.

Baby mushrooms covering the forest floor.

The purple and gold leaves of dying plants look like something straight from Alice's wonderland. 

The tree limbs look like fingers of skeletons. 

The skies were grey but full of light. The clouds moved quickly.

Never once did I feel soaked. 

Today was a great adventure.

Thank you Mt Tabor for making me feel at home.

Yellow Leaf

Today I saw this yellow leaf solitarily hanging onto this tree.

I can only imagine it will soon embark on a great adventure.

Joining the other leaves on the great yellow leaf road.

Somehow this sparked a litte fire in this insane head of mine. And thing about fire amongst a bunch of yellow leaves...

Well... thank you mister yellow leaf. 

Photography Adventure

Today I wandered around downtown in Portland, Oregon. There weren't a lot of words to say but I took a few photographs along the way.

I hope you enjoy them. They turned out wonderfully to me.
