A Zen kind of afternoon in the PNW. The forest is unfurling one flower, one fern at a time... "March-ing" into spring 😀

Hidden in the shadows, just off the sidewalk, a lone magnolia blossom, with its gentle curves and folds, brings soft color and light to the dark corner.

Petals and blossoms, delicate and small, land with the breeze, ushering in another phase of spring and showering the passerby with spring-fetti.

Zwei buddhistische Mönche gehen schweigend einen Weg durch einen nebeligen Bambuswald, warmes Morgenlicht fällt durch die hohen Stämme.
Schüler:
„Meister, warum gehen wir schweigend?“
Zen-Meister:
„Damit der Weg auch einmal sprechen darf.“ 🌿

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company..

My fourth hike of the week yesterday, under cold but abundant sunshine, had me sniffing the breezes around Fallen Leaf Lake and sneaking up on feeding cormorants. Each turn of the trail was refreshing.

Hanging with my wise, orange-robed friend at sunset, maybe he knows where my fav toy mouse is hidden. Leaving Thailand soon, but loving this golden light. 🐾✨🌅 #SunsetVibes #ZenMoment #PeacefulPaws
Thursday was a good day to #hike too, it seems, this time in the bottomlands of the Washougal River, walking among natures little creatures, with Mt. Hood alighting the sky. What an afternoon for some soul cleansing.

Always look down and up and keep going forward!...it was a mucky, muddy, drippy hiking day, scrambling over downed maple and Douglas fir trees and searching for fungi ... perfectly perfect. Embrace the mess!

The face of the day 🐾
A quiet look, steady presence, no rush.
Sometimes the best therapy has four legs and stays by your side.

After 8 intense days on a New Year’s Eve TV shoot, we finally wrapped 🤍🎄🎬
Tired, grateful, and full of mixed emotions.
Ended the day at the piano, just to slow down and breathe 🎹

We went to a #Christmas #Tree lighting ceremony last night. Learned that if you try to capture #hyperlapse video at night, each frame is a #LongExposure due to light levels.
The bumpy horse pulled hay ride past the lit tree turned into an edible fueled #video #ZenMoment.
Enjoy!
