I used super glue to fasten the CD pieces to the flower pot. I wasn’t sure if this was the [...]

I have all of my houseplants at my north-facing living room window to catch the last of the summer sun. I’ll probably have to use some artificial lighting this fall and winter because I don’t have any south-facing windows.
The pots on the windowsill are all babies: two aloes, two jades, one spider plant, one umbrella [...]

I went to Crater Lake for the first time ever. It was beautiful, of course, and extremely blue. I read in the visitor guide that it’s the deepest lake in the world (as calculated by average depth, and not counting lakes below sea-level.)

My boyfriend, his friend, and I were in Portland and we decided to go to the Oregon Zoo. It was a hot day and the place was packed with people. Many of the animals were hiding, and I don’t blame them.
A pygora goat is a mix of two breeds: pygmy and angora. They are popular [...]

I went to the Oregon Loggers Conference on February 21st, 2009 (“Family Day”). The trip was for a school assignment. I needed to document instances of place, space, landscape, and power. A loggers conference is not something I would normally attend, but it ended up being fun.
One of the most interesting exhibits was reanactment of old-time logging practices. The following photo shows [...]

The situations and trials that we now have to face are determined, in part, by the choices we have made in the past. This is our fate and it is unavoidable. But as human beings, we are blessed with free will. We can choose to succumb to our fate, or we can choose to defy [...]

My favorite part of our trip to Alaska was visiting the small coastal town of Seward.
I have a friend that lives in Seward and two other friends that were working there for the summer. I went on a day cruise with them through Kenai Fjords tours. The day was overcast, but we still had a good [...]

There is a state historical park in Hatcher Pass, Alaska called Independence Mine. Back in the 1940’s the mine employed over 200 men and produced approximately 34,000 ounces of gold per year. Today, the park offers hiking trails and a chance to learn about the past through preserved buildings and interpretive tours.
