it was time for a well needed holiday
give your stress wings and let it fly away

for 4 days and 3 nights
we stayed here last weekend
historic Hungry Camp Cottage
on Long Beach Washington
loved the charming red floors
day tripped across the mighty Columbia River
to Astoria, Oregon
it is just over 4 miles long
and built to withstand 150 mile an hour wind gusts
.. because sometimes it does that here!
The Astoria - Megler Bridge
views from the bridge are stupendous
gigantic ships look like tub toys
never a ship sails out of the bay
but carries my heart as a stowaway
Roselle Mercier Montgomery
for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always our self we find in the sea
ee cummings
Anna's crazy sense of humor
.... ok ....
so we had to turn around
and do a slow drive by
so Anna could capture this guy.....
pretty much sums up the pace of life on
Long Beach, Washington
isn't this the sweetest?
the Salmon Art Trail
fabulous .. tallest feather is at least 8 feet tall
mudpuppy salamander
hike through the enchanted forest
old growth trees
ferns
wild flowers
I never saw a discontented tree
John Muir
it is not so much for its beauty
that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts
as that subtle something
that quality of air that emanation from old trees
that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit
Robert Louis Stevenson
well that was about it
we puttered
and feel revived
...
take a rest
a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop
