I hope that wherever you are, you are able to find a place that is wild, and if not that, a breath of wildness in the midst of noise.

Because we need that. We need time and space away from the constant chatter, that relentless, underlying hum of voices trying to mold and shape our interpretation of and experience in this world.

I just like to be, want to be, on the beach.

Living inland, in farm country, I treasure the time I spend at the ocean -- the constant sound of the surf is mesmerizing, enticing, healing. There is a timelessness to the seascape that my soul needs, a reminder that this world is so much more than what flashes by on the screen.

What is it about the ocean that is so fascinating, that draws me there again and again, keeps me looking out at those waves, listening to their sound, feeling the spray on my face, and relaxing into a state of intense calm?

I don't know. But I go there, again and again, to experience it.

Wilson River Trail: Part 1

I had an amazing weekend, I’m so happy spring is finally here. It’s so freeing to carry everything you need on your back and be completely surrounded by nature. I feel so much safer alone in the middle of the forest than camping along forest roads. I’m considering this spring training while the Cascades are still covered in snow. This trail is ideal for that.

"West Coast governors issue COVID-19 vaccine guidance after CDC concerns"

https://www.opb.org/article/2025/09/17/west-coast-governors-oregon-california-washington-hawaii-vaccine-covid-flu/

"The guidelines recommend broad access to the COVID-19 vaccine for everyone over 6 months of age…"

"In Oregon, the new guidelines appear to be a step toward eliminating the requirement that patients obtain a prescription to get the 2025-2026 COVID-19 booster shot."

Trump says he is sending the military to an American city that is not under any threat except from his regime. Here’s #Oregon Governor Tina Kotek on the situation in #Portland, posted on Bluesky at about 10 am pacific time.

Tina Kotek@tinakotek.bsky.social
My office is reaching out to the White
House and Homeland Security for more
information. We have been provided no
information on the reason or purpose of
any military mission. There is no national
security threat in Portland. Our
communities are safe and calm.
I ask Oregonians
to stay calm and enjoy a
beautiful fall day.
We will have further
comment when we have
more information.

Had a nice trip to Cannon Beach, OR, where we were treated with clear night skies last week; here’s one of my single exposure captures of the Milky Way before the season ends.

The image captures a serene natural scene, in a wooded setting with a creek, featuring:
Misty Morning Light: Golden rays of sunlight pierce through the trees, illuminating a misty area near a creek, creating a soft and ethereal glow.
Reflective Water: The still surface of the water perfectly reflects the surrounding trees and the luminous mist, adding depth and tranquility to the scene.
Lush Vegetation: Dense foliage, including trees and undergrowth, lines the banks of the water, with some plants highlighted by the sunlight.
Tranquil Atmosphere: The combination of mist, light, and reflections evokes a peaceful and natural ambiance, suggesting an early morning setting in the Pacific Northwest.

Rainstorm, have you decided to dissipate?

Just a few minutes ago you looked so threatening, so intent upon leashing your fury upon the beach, the sea, me . . .

But then the sun broke through, created a crack in the darkness, and your power seemed to weaken.

Light does that, doesn't it . . .

As extractive “wildcrafting” has become popular, supposedly treaty-protected #Indigenous access to ancestral gathering sites has diminished, says Michelle Week (Sinixt, Arrow Lakes), who runs x̌ast sq̓it, an Indigenous foods farm near #Portland #Oregon.

“You have the privilege to go out and gather these things without fear of harassment, but my community, who’s native to this place, we just don’t have that luxury.”

Central Cascades

I was trying to find a location with less rain showers this weekend and somehow ended up camping in the mountains. 🤔 Today was so fun and I want to remember that when the snow showers start in the morning. The mountain views have been stunning. Seeing how close I can get to Mount Washington tomorrow. Maybe the weather will be totally fine but I’m prepared to bail if I’m not able to stay warm.

#Backpacking #Hiking #PNW #Oregon #Outdoors #LandscapePhotography #Mountains

Mount Washington. The volcano has a wide and flat rocky face that is covered in snow. Miles of burnt forest between the viewer and the mountain. Green forest leads to gray trees. Blue sky with large streaks of gray clouds.
