Waterfalls

Dear Diary,

Today’s entry is presented to you by the letter ‘W’. Waterfalls, I love waterfalls. I love that they are so strong and beautiful, so determined and graceful, so powerful yet fluid. I love that water seems so benign but has the power to knock down the strongest man. I love that man has harnessed water built dams and routed it through pipes giving us the ability to turn it off and on at will, yet water is free and can knock down entire cities in tsunamis and floods and can erode the strongest rocks. I find it fascinating that water is such an important part of our daily lives that we take it for granted and forget just how powerful it is. Waterfalls remind me of the power of water, but also it’s grace and beauty. Now who wants so pictures? Well I do and it’s my diary so here they are.

Toketee Falls

Wakina Falls

Fairy Falls

Snoqualmie Falls

Twin Falls

 I'm so glad the weather is warming up, more hikes to do and more waterfalls to see.

Until next time,

Oregon

Dear Diary,

Today’s entry is brought to you by the letter ‘O’. Oregon the most beautiful state I’ve been to. Every state I’ve been to has been beautiful in its own way; but Oregon’s beauty speaks to me. Here are some of the places I find most beautiful in Oregon, I know there are many more. 

The Oregon Coast especially at sunset is magnificent.

 

Parks full of flora and fauna.

 I don't remember what trail this was but Oregon is full of beautiful hiking trails along picturesque rivers.

For more beauty from Oregon come back for W, I have a treat planned.  (and you thought all my posts were random; surprise.)

Until next time,

Humming bird?

Dear Diary,

Today’s entry will be brought to you by the letter ‘H’. I was ready for another picture post so ‘H’ will be for Humming bird, at least I think it’s a humming bird so that’s what I’m going to call it. I am very sad that I did not have my nicer camera with me when I saw this little guy, so the pictures are not the best but I wanted to share, so here are pictures of what I’m guessing is a type of humming bird, if it’s not and you know what it is please post in the comments and let me know. (if it's not a humming bird this post will be handsome bird)

Until next time,

Me

Daffodil days

Dear Diary,

Today’s entry is brought to you by the letter ‘D’. D is for daffodils, because they are blooming and I felt like it’s been a while since I posted a picture (so lucky you you get two). I know the last picture I posted was a daffodil, and that’s okay because I’m ready for spring and to me that is what daffodils mean. They are one of the first flowers to bloom and they are bright and cheerful after months of gray. Daffodils are sunshine on cloudy spring days, and I’m not ashamed to admit that this winter has seemed long and I need the joy that bursts from these bright flowers. These pictures are a fun perspective I think and it’s got a happy cloudy blue sky. This picture says spring time to me, I hope you enjoy the daffodils.

Until next time,

Me
