Special memories & connections in the beautiful Pacific Northwest became inspiration for my adventure novella "When Birds Sing." It just won the Great Northwest Book Award! Enjoy a great escape and great read! #MaraPurl #Escape #WomensFiction #Adventure #ColumbiaRiver bit.ly/WhenBirdsAmz

A snowy view over treetops lower on the mountainside, of a large river far below, and steep snow covered mountainsides across the river.
A lot of forest cover can be seen on the mountainsides, as well as exposures of steep rocky terrain without trees.
The upper mountain tops across the river are masked by actively falling snow at about the same elevation that the photo was taken from.
The dark green trees in the foreground have contrasting snowflakes falling in front of them as it snows hard on the mountain.

It snowed fairly heavily later on this hike, almost completely filling my snow tracks I'd made on my way up the mountain.
❄️
I was prepared, so it just added to the lovely adventure of the hike.
That's The #ColumbiaRiver far below, and the steep mountains on the #Oregon side or the Gorge.

Fishing industry: a catch of salmon on shore of the Columbia River -- Putting the seine on the barge again to make another hall Catalog Number 41403 Milwaukee Public Museum

Salmon fishing on the #ColumbiaRiver. Flowing through #Canada and #UnitedStates to the Pacific. Fishing with a seine net on the barge in the river. In the past, Indigenous peoples of the Columbia River wove seine nets from spruce root fibres/wild grass, again stones as weights. #Coastalhistory

River Highway – Part 2 // Journey down the Columbia/Snake River
River Highway – Part 2 // Journey down the Columbia/Snake River The Columbia/Snake River transports millions of tons of cargo every year, but most people have never seen it in action. Ride along with me as I hitch a ride on a tugboat hauling grain from the wheat…

Pt 2 is here! Ride along the Columbia-Snake River System with the Armchair Engineer as a tug hauls grain from Eastern WA to Portland, Vancouver, and Longview—showcasing the working river that moves millions of tons each year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odrx...

Crown Point feels like a threshold.
In this sunset piece, I embossed John Muir’s line into the sky:
“The power of imagination makes us infinite.”
Awe stretches us.
Places shape us.

Several exposures of Government Island from Marine Drive in Portland Oregon along the Columbia River. The island is covered in bare trees and the sky is very cloudy creating an eerie fog on the multiple exposures.

A photo from a high vantage point above a winding river between steeply rising forested mountainsides. The river curves toward the left from behind a nearby rock face at lower right, curves past a few inlets and jutting shores before curving sharply back to the right and disappearing. It reflects a gentle light from the sky, with textures from waves on it's surface at a distance. The mountainsides that rise to either side from the rivers shores are covered in dense green conifer forests. Some in the lower left are in the foreground where individual trees are visible. The more distant forested mountains appear bluer.
The sky above the mountains is full layers of great grey tumbling clouds with ragged gaps showing brightly highlighted clouds, but no blue sky.

It's #Scape day! Here's a nice cloud drama day high above the #ColumbiaRiver in #Oregon. I love this vantage for the way the river winds below.

An American Kestrel sits on his comfy perch. His facial markings, 2 black, vertical bars on each side, one under the eye & one over the ear, are striking. His body has brown feathers barred with black on the top and tawny vertical bars on a pale brown belly/chest. His small beak is very sharp and his intense black eyes are staring us down. 
Really, though, he was a sweetheart.

Found this picture of a kestrel I met at the visitor's center at The Dalles, OR. Offering it for #BirdoftheDay and the theme #staredown. He was a permanent resident, couldn't be released due to injury. First kestrel I ever saw; I fell in love!

the mountain was out,
even though it’s always there,
it’s a treat to see
