.rooted.

when my hub and i first moved to portland,

we found this cute tiny apartment with old charm in nw.

close to everything in the city, it was also close to the largest

natural city park in the nation, forest park.

i have enjoyed many many hikes out my back door on sunny

saturday mornings, foggy tuesday afternoons, and rainy

thursday nights... and always going by my favorite tree:

 

we are moving this weekend, no too far away but to the other side 

of the river. i know i will be back to enjoy washington and forest park

still, however the proximity just turned into 5 miles instead of 5 minutes.

south east portland: here i come!

+.peace.love.nostalgia.+

.rays.

the sun wants to come out so bad,

it's rays were felt for 5 minutes yesterday....

i will take it!

+.peace.love.spring?

.redux.

i spy 'love me' at redux...

do you?

.orchid.

over three years ago i bought my first orchid.

it bloomed and bloomed from it's orginial shoot,

but once that shoot had it's lifespan, it went dormant.

it took 2 months for another shoot to grow 

and while i was in ireland it started to bud!

yesterday morning, in the middle of a month of no sunlight, 

the first blossom in three years opened it's face 

to the little sunlight peeking through the clouds.
