You Are Here

  

Sometimes, perhaps, we are allowed to get lost that we may find the right person to ask directions of.  ~Robert Brault

 

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.  ~Jean de La Fontaine

 

I love hiking trail signs.  Rustic and faded, they still tell us where we are headed.

Labor Day

It's hard work harvesting onions. 

The onion seed has to be cut by hand.

Mowich Lake from Red Butte

(Mowich is the Chinook Jargon for "Deer")

 

Red Butte (5848')

(there is no distinct trail...except for the slid marks I made as I barreled down the mountain)

Caught in the Fire of Love

My heart is on fire

In my madness

I roam the desert

the flames of my passion

devour the wind and the sky

 

My cries of longing

My wails of sorrow

are tormenting my soul

You wait

patiently

looking into my intoxicated eyes

You accept my passion

with the serenity of love

You are the master of existence

One day I shall be 

a lover like you

Lingering Flowers

As summer comes to a close, I'm amazed at the colors that still fill the garden.

My Dahlias are in full bloom.  The colors are bursting with flavor.
