Waterfall

Elegance. Power.
The water ambles downward.
Pause. Gaze. Breathe. Listen.

Mount St. Helens

View: Mount St. Helens.
Thought: active geology.
Truth: God's creation.

A Coffee Binge

What a coffee rush!
Portland first. Then Seattle.
Ten days indulgence.

Powell's in Portland

Go to Powell's Book Store.
I get immersed for hours.
Where do I begin?

Portland Musts!

See the Pearl District.
Savor the Stumptown dark roast.
Stop and smell a rose!

Sensory Delight

Smell the lavender.
Hear the honey bees work hard.
Gaze upon Mount Hood.

Portland Geography

Mount Hood to the east.
Neighborhoods with character.
Plus the Willamette!

Portland Perspectives

A "Left Coast" city.
Bohemian. Artistic.
It appeals to me.
