we went to visit my family
just south of Spokane
on the edge of the fabulous rolling hills of the Palouse
what you see here is our last day
... as we were leaving
>.. thee only day of sunshine ..<
do not be angry with the rain
it simply does not know how to fall upwards
Vladimir Nabokov
non the less ..
the trip home was marvalous
a 6 hour trip filled with
waterfalls and wild flowers
just living is not enough
one must have sunshine . freedom . and a little flower
Hans Christian Andersen
pluck not the wayside flower
it is the traveler's dower
William Allingham
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
Tom Petty
Splendid Mt Rainier showed her pretty head
to the natives she is Tahoma
mother of many waters
Cascade Range .. and Dragon's Back
..it was a good ride..

As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
