Riding to Portland

Western Hemlock, Fesler Grove, Simpson Reed Discovery Trail

This is a quick study, about five minutes. This trail is magnificent. We walked beside along many old redwoods was amazing. I just did not feel that I could capture the majesty of the redwood's grandeur. So, I started smaller.

Otter Point at Sunset, August 23
pen in sketchbook

I took some solo time to make a quick sketch at Otter Point, while the family was taking sunset photographs. I was startled when Lindsay came up to see what I was drawing. It was near the edge of the point, so she quickly grabbed my shoulders to keep me steady. There certainly was no real danger, but I am so lucky to have such a quick thinking friend, thank you Lindsay.

Drinking Tea and Listening

Pyar, Tim, Lindsay and I had a great afternoon at the Portland Chinese Gardens.
