Looking out my apartment window in Portland Oregon

Ancient Magnolia

I am in love with this Magnolia tree in the park. What a magnificent tree! It has huge beautiful flowers, thick furry pods, and no leaves. I read that Magnolias are 100 million years old, even more ancient than bees. It has easily become one of my favorite trees.

I saw this while going through my photos and it reminded me how badly I miss the sunshine and warmth. 

Sunshine, I need you!

March Approaching

And a hard rain is going to fall...

Waiting for rainbows

"We all want to belong to something more than ourselves
You can’t always do it alone.
Sometimes you just need a little help.
I ran so far that I forgotten what I was running from.
Time it takes you so far and I’m longing to be back home."
