just a flower child

I snapped this photograph cruising around Sauvie Island just north of Portland in Oregon, likely in the spring or summer of 2009. Not long after I’d moved into Portland right around this time in January of that year. In fact maybe exactly the day of my birthday.

Amazing. I was just 60 years old then.

From that birthday to this one – the times I’ve had, the places I’ve been. Stunning, breathtaking.

A river of tears. A playground dazzled with sunlight and singing.
