Happy birthday to my sweet bean who passed away 11 years ago. 💚
Last year I hiked along the McKenzie River in Oregon to spread her ashes.

McKenzie River Trail- Sahalie Falls, Koosah Falls, and Blue Pool Loop, Willamette National Forest, near Sisters, Oregon
Sahalie Falls as it spills into a blue pool churned with whitewater below.
Three streams of water form the low water Koosah falls, which is one large flow in higher water. Amazing how much water there is even in September.
Looking down into the blue abyss that is Blue Pool. The logs seen at the bottom are just that, and not to be confused with sticks by the perspective in the 30 ft or so deep water.

Koosah (Chinook for "sky") and Sahalie (Chinook for "heaven") Falls on the wild McKenzie River are only about a mile apart. Typical Oregon mountain beauty; never gets old even though it's ancient. :)

We went whitewater rafting on the #McKenzieRiver #BlueRiver #Oregon with the amazing helfrichmckenzierafting.com
A white heavy-flowing waterfall framed by green leaves and green moss on rocks. The water falls into a turquoise blue pool of water with water spray misting upward.

A good friend gifted us these awesome, giant #rapalalure replicas that some creative #woodworker made for her late father. It was a thrill, and an honor to be trusted to put them on proper display in the #Riverhouse We're building on the #McKenzieRiver
Super generous and can't wait to mount!
