stream of me

thoughts: mobius bird flight, gathering rain on branches, and the conversations of crows.

beauty in a misty day

mud and sunshine

A short walk to the book store.

back and forth...cleaning day

a forest of moss explored with mud on my shoes

so many beautiful dead ends with reflection - oh Willamette

a swollen river turbulence around a 1912 bridge with trees going under like twigs

branches posed as owls in the fog

completely in a book as my feet moved - but later... I saw the moon

little wonders of moss in the neighborhood - thoughts of microcosms

A walk of winter light.

Thinking about writing code for hats.

a walk beneath a waxing moon

crows greet me on this path

Under Jupiter next to the moon

An almost full moon among meadows

I'm a potato.

Robins in the mist.

In a cold sink with frost - every bit of sun a delight.

Footprints swept into the pacific ocean.

Goldeneyes and great horned owls and wood ducks - oh my!

Acorn woodpeckers and a blue sky in an oak savannah.

An Anna's hummingbird said hello.

The crows know me on my walks.

Snipes! I found Snipes!

Because I can.

In the dark.

A walk between the rain.

Lost in music.

A hoarfrost walk with my son.

In the woods after sunset.

With the robins

I met a ruby-crowned acrobat

Cold and fast

I'm a potato.

With the crunch of snow and junco footprints.

Quail, planets, and owls

Glorious run in the mud.

Walk in the sun between the rain.

Eagles flew in to roost as the sun set and Jupiter was realized.

Golden meadows and hints of spring.

No owl attacks today.

Puddles and wind

Sunshine and warmth between rain.

A morning rainbow in the west

Loops in the park

Into the forest.

Into the canyon of waterfalls.

Nuthatches announced the day

Stars manifesting through clouds.

Downtown

Under a moon and crows

A run to the bridge.

Among birds.

A run through the park and on to espresso.

Puddles with sky

Running around and around in the mud.

I'm a potato.

With post-storm clouds

The ultimate potato.

Mud, rain, and fawn lilies

More fawn lilies!!!

Hail, sunshine, and lots of robins

Down and then up

In the rain.

White-crowned sparrows in the blackberries

Trillium hidden and ephemeral - development looms

With cherry blooms

In the long shadows of oaks

So many daffodils

With the wind

A swirl of vultures above me - playing in the wind

Band-tailed pigeons in the forest - almost owls

A run in the cold rain.

Past the swallows to the bridge.

So many fawn lilies in the little space between houses on the little hidden street

Through the mucky muck

Hilbert potato

Swifts dancing in the storm winds

To arrive at a purple meadow of camas lilies

In the garden - back and forth

Short run

Gardening

From headlands to forest to the sea.

Garden steps

A turkey said hi on my run.

On an owl hunt

A walk in the garden and a beautiful run.

Found the remnants of a cougar encounter with a turkey, a checker lily, camas, and new birds on a walk I walked twice.

Quickly through the forest on the peninsula.

I went to the woods to cry and then grabbed poison oak - maybe not the best walk.

A fast run with meditative music

Among fairy slippers.

A run in which I realized that lunch would have been a good idea.

This potato has a sore ankle.

Slowly next to wood ducks

Chipping sparrows in the afternoon

With pink clouds

Through the yard and the neighborhood with bluebirds on a wire.

A run in cottonwood flurries with violet-green swallows and an osprey chasing a vulture.

Tracking prints of otters, a cougar, raccoons, herons, and killdeer.

A long, long, run.

Beach walking and birdwatching

Rail trail with mom

10k then a birdwatch

A little stellars was sneaky next to the sidewalk.

A run, then a walk with the birds.

In the camas with the robins and the old oaks in the late golden evening.

Running commute to coffee and back.

A walk along the willamette river bend among rocks and sand and brewer's blackbirds

Around a block and in a book.

4 lemniscates and a mosey.

Listening to a book while running in the oak forest.

Cold run at dusk

Potato driven

On a grid

With banana slugs climbing trees

A mashed potato

Song sparrows greeted me while oil painting clouds filled the sky

Lemniscate under sky

Among the graves - past runners.

I sat like a cat on math notes.

Through gritty pollen and snowy cottonwood.

Down town

From airport to refuge

Run along a new road.

There were trillium forest wisps calling me deeper into the woods.

Through a bog, along a spit, and with the warblers.

Above see caves in a forest of vireos

A trail with a bald eagle sentry that gave a warning.

A walk with a wood-pewee

In grass pollen - IT'S EVERYWHERE

Through the neighborhood and cemetery.

Two lemniscates

Tracked with a friend and found elk.

In the tall grass among rails and bitterns

A run to a sit spot

An afternoon stroll of peonies

A run in the heat.

Past the heat towards a moon.

Through a tunnel of trees.

Small walks

A walk with my daughter for owls

A 5k race and then some

gardening - back and forth

Running from the airport on up

Walked and found a bluebird on the wire

A run in the sun.

squatting in the garden - back and forth for soil

One big unknot

the other direction on the lemniscate

walking with my partner in the rain

loop with creases

A run in loops of loops

a lemniscate with swallows

a run of intervals

a loop of feeling very hot and tired

a barefoot walk

I tripped on continuous, yet discrete, roots.

Walking with rows of books in a scenic view of words

A brown creeper flew right in front of me on this run

Evening run on the peninsula

around but with no memory of the path

A run then a tracking walk

Around the garden and the house.

A long run to espresso then back

In the garden with a weed bucket

A run in the heat and shade.

potato with gravity

Fast little loops, then an evening flip-flop about

Dusk walk through the park

Evening - post heat

Loops in the woods

A mosey day

Moonset/sunrise run with 9 bunnies, 1 beaver, and cowbirds with their metallic calls

Existing as a potato with mom

A run before the heat.

Afternoon stroll while discussing n-dimensional spheres

Yard work

In the gorge and up a hill and by a waterfall

Under and over waterfalls

A walk around the block

A run, then a pause, then a run

Run at sunset

Down to Spirit Lake

Through snow fields and wildflowers with marmots and glacieal beauty

Through lava tubes in dark caves and over arches.

Fast, then in the garden

Early morning under a blue sky

To the blackberries

Early morning hills

Knitting potato

Run in the shoulder

With ice cream in hand

Run with cedars and slugs

A walk at the refuge among savannah sparrows

Morning run, evening stroll

back and forth...decluttering

New year's run to coffee

Around the house

And around the house

Up and up, then down and down

Along a meadow with a baby peewee

Before heat and after clouds

Through sharp shadows of leaves near solar noon

Next to elms and cypress

Through the forest in full beast mode

On a court

To a garden, then back, then walked a neighborhood dog

Out and about without a trail

Pink cloud walk in warmth

Evening stroll beneath colors of clouds

Through the woods with sooooooo many spiderwebs - cleared the trail.

In the slough

In the house

A long run with cottonwood leaves starting to fall.

Through the park in an oak savannah watching for owls overhead

Furniture rearranging day

A little smoky, but beautiful

To comfort a neighbor

Smokey day

A walk inside to avoid smoke

among yellow legs and wood ducks

Waterfalls, rocks, and water ouzels

Back and forth - packing, prepping

Running in the meadow, walking on a campus

A neighborhood walk about

A coyote graced me with its presence

With runners for the cherry city half marathon

To the park to build a fairy house.

Among the pipits and plovers

A run with people - and talking!

A lemniscate with changing leaves

Up and down through the town

Three loops - maybe a trefoil?

Garden steps

Under gaussian blur of sky

From peninsula to field to slough to river and back

Went shopping in the woods for sticks

Cooking, cleaning, thinking, feeling

In autumn rain

Before dark, in drizzle with almost golden clouds

Neighbors dogs all came up to greet me

In the garden

In the skyline woods among moss covered oaks

fast then slow in the wonderful fall air

A sad walk

In the sun beneath oaks

Under the blue

Around the block

Around the house

Garage walk

Hugged a tree

Up and down stairs

Run in the fall sun, then walk in the house

Around the house, then around the blocks

In crunchy leaves and autumn light

Lemniscate in leaves

Next to golden leaves in dark woods

On a boardwalk with a vanishing point

Around town

From fog to sun

Lemniscate in autumn air

Snaking through the neighborhood

An evening walk as the clouds darken

A run with a salmon streak of cloud and then dark, dark woods

Rainy day - indoor feet

Almost made it home before it poured

After rain, in puddles of color

Little walks

A walk in the woods. A run in the sun and leaves.

A short walk while knitting

In the rain.

Next to lichen, fungi, and large leaf maple leaves.

I'm an autumn potato.

Quasi-potato

Walk to wake up

Walking meditation - balance

Between a quilt and an ironing board in another room

Among the last leaves of yellow

Running on an indoor self-powered conveyer belt.

A walk to find some peace and appreciate some moss

Crafting steps
