Various times throughout early 2022


I’m trying to make a point to be slow, this year.

Not like… lazy or something. I mean really focusing in on the “stop and smell the flowers” aspect of life. Funny enough, that’s a literal statement right now in Wilsonville – a lot of the bushes and shrubs near my office are in bloom (yes, in February) and smell absolutely delightful!


Sunset is usually right around when I’m leaving the building. Through the parking lot and across the street there’s a tree that I love visiting after I get out for the day. Now, this isn’t even remotely on the walk to where I park – instead, it’s probably quadrupling the distance that I walk after leaving the front lobby.

But this tree? It’s… perfect. Something about the shape, and how it’s framed by the sunset… I love seeing it each day. Slightly different, but always beautiful.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
