Flooding in Tillamook
Well, that didn’t take long. Before I bought the home I made sure the flood certificate was adequate (home is 16.8 ft above the river and no history of flooding in the home).
Or was it?
My land between the home and river turned into…………the river.
And after.

Let’s not do this again, shall we? These photos taken from my front porch. And the water came up to the foundation of the home.
Tillamook
It couldn’t be helped, I had to buy a home in Tillamook. Ice cream, cheese, lush valley, cows, stone’s throw from several beaches, rivers full of fish.
Heaven.
The Road Less Traveled
Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ~Robert Frost
Meditation
When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park? ~Ralph Marston

Golden Eagle Taking a Bath
Unfortunately I did not have my zoom lens on when we encountered this eagle. But the experience was too good for me not to share!
The Geese of Beverly Road
We’ll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks like red roses
We’ll go from car to sleeping car and whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We’ll set off the geese of Beverly Road
Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius
Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome
We won’t be disappointed
We’ll fight like girls for our place at the table
Our room on the floor
We’ll set off the geese of Beverly Road
Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius
Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re drunk and sparking, our legs are open
Our hands are covered in cake
But I swear we didn’t have any
I swear we didn’t have any
Hey, love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky tonight
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

Playing with light
In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.
~Maya Angelou
Serenity
I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.
