Quietly Celebrating...

In a cozy beach retreat...

The beginnings of another year. 

South Beach, Newport Oregon.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

A Mapleton Discovery...

We took a little hike...

  My shadow and I...

And my adventure buddy, Candace...

 Found my first trillium this year...

 Marveled with Tree Spirits...

 Along Sweet Creek...

 To the lower...

And upper...

Sweet Creek Falls!

Awesome!!

A Trip...

Down Memory Lane...

 Past the public dock...

Cross the no-longer Covered Bridge...

To a special spot...now with an address...

 Along the Siuslaw River...

 By the giant maple tree...

 From which we'd swing out over the water and drop...

 Where a different home and a new dock now sits...

 Our Mapleton Cabin!

Childhood memories...

And a piece of my Heart remain.
