The Santiam river still quite high after all the rain and still pretty muddy. Both sides of the swollen river are lined with trees. Under blue skies today.
The Santiam River flows
west out of Mill City, Oregon
Stout Creek flowing to the west away from Lyons, Oregon. Dry grass and bare trees on either side of the creek. Many of the tree branches overhanging the creek are completely covered in moss. The surface of the water reflecting the cloudy sky with a shimmering silver amidst the trees.

Rocks and boulders fill the scene with grasses and Joshua trees growing amongst them.
“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
Close-up of a daisy. Only the flower head is visible, which is only slightly open. The very delicate petals have pink tips and lie in layers. The background has a green bokeh.
The tender-hearted
have to cover themselves up,
layer by layer.
Wishing you a happy new week 🫶

A pond bordered by autumn trees. The water reflects the trees and the blue sky… reeds are along the right edge… a duck is swimming across the water creating small ripples behind it

In my excitement at finally seeing these Tibetan Snowcocks, I took neither a good photo nor a video! This was up at 17,000 ft with Gokyo Lake below and Everest somewhere in the background!

A Santa Barbara Daisy bloom , white petals around a yellow and light green center ☮️
...Boating on this lake,
we make an oval track
on the surface; and,
gazing at rapeseed
flowering yellow along the shore,
we suspend but do not dissipate
the anguish of this world.

Der Himmel zeigt ein tiefes Blau mit verstreuten Wolken, die sich über die gesamte Bildbreite erstrecken. Am unteren Bildrand sind die Silhouetten von kahlen Bäumen und Sträuchern zu erkennen, die sich vor dem dunklen Boden abheben. Es gibt einige kleine Lichtpunkte im Hintergrund, die aus fernen Häusern stammen. Die Szene zeigt den Übergang von der Dämmerung zur Nacht.
Unterwegs
On the way.

Das Wattenmeer zeigt sich bei Ebbe mit flachem Wasser und freigelegtem Schlick, der kleine Pfützen und Inseln bildet. Am Horizont zieht sich ein graues Wolkenband entlang, das den Übergang zwischen Meer und Himmel markiert. Darüber erstreckt sich Gelb am Himmel mit grauen und bläulichen Wolken, deren Spiegelung sich im ruhigen Wasser des Wattenmeers widerspiegelt.

Taken from below a short ridge at 9:30am. Looking up over the edge the tops of a few trees and bushes are all visible in silhouette in front of a band of white clouds that stretch across the sky just above the ridge. Above that a cobalt blue cloud afloat in a grey bed ☮️

a glass sun decoration is dangling off the roof of a house. there are conifer branches hanging down from above. there is a reflection of those branches in a window.

enjoying the simple things💜
The viewer is looking through a the dark silhouettes of tall grasses at the yellow, orange, peach, pink and with a trace of blue sky beyond. Across the bottom is dark trees in the distance, and two strands of barbed wire is visible across the bottom also. The tips of an eastern red cedar is in the top left corner and downward. Part of a leafless hackberry tree is visible on the top right corner and downward.
This evening out back

Same old trip it was back then”
