DAY DREAM BELIEVER

Maybe I was a homecoming queen when I was 16 because I am, and always have been, a day dream believer. Don't you feel that when you open your eyes every morning and all limbs work, all systems are go, that being upright and ambulatory is worth a smile? While walking the Oregon State Capitol grounds today, I noticed a smile on everyones face. The blue sky? The fluffy clouds? Maybe the pink blossoms of the cherry trees? Whatever it was, get yours on (smile, that is) and join me in being a Day Dream Believer...being a homecoming queen is overrated...but I can't say enough about the "day dream believer" part.

GO WILD

So, folks, "ain't life just ducky"? We have almost made it out of one of our wettest winters here in the Pacific Northwest. I think I have moss between my toes and they are anxious to get the hiking boots laced on and get moving. 

This fuzzy little guy was only a day or so old when I stressed his Mama by getting his pix. But, isn't he just lovely? Makes me think of renewal, the future...and most of all...developing a down coating of my own so problems just run off like "water off a duck's back". And, is that a smile on his little face? I like to think so.

My back yard was about the size of my photo trips this winter. The ice was melting from the maple fingers. Couldn't resist the diamonds right outside my kitchen window. 

My hope is for a lovely Spring, Summer, and Autumn. I have trails to walk, photos to take and share with you, and an eclipse to glimpse. I hope for an active season for you, see you on the trail.
