Portland is many
Personalities who all
Look for the mountain

Sometimes a tree falls
Interrupting the quiet
And leaves peace behind

A right angle turn
Fibonacci ratio
Both natural form

There are shades of gray
Even in the stark, black and white
Stormy days of spring

The walk up is filled
With flowers and mountain peaks
The way down is too

Columbia Gorge
wildflower hikes might include the
white volcanic peaks



Filtered forest light
In late springtime sun filled skies
Brings us cooling shade


Sunrise in the Gorge
The Columbia River
Flows under the winding road


Meadows of flowers
Give space to each for a turn
For their time to bloom
Camassia leichtlinii -
great camas




Sweeping hands of time
Don’t stop at the blossoming
Of each flowers bloom
Maianthemum racemosum -
feathery false lily of the valley


Cannon Beach at Dawn
The sea stack stands at low tide
Watching the seas rise .


Balsam Root begins
To flower at Dog Mountain
Downhill hurts much more.



With the trillium
The spring does not fade away
It brightens to pink


Photographers come, to the wide fields of tulips for our spring training.

There is one day in the spring,
After the trillium bloom,
When the summer switch, flips.


Six months of darkness,
Desire for the Springtime
Knowing it’s soon gone

Spring is in the air,
Blossom petals on my boots.
Soon we’ll mourn it’s end

Tulips and a mountain peak,

In the solitude of the spring
Around dozens more
