Summer in Wilsonville – more pretty photos!

Late spring and early Summer, 2022
Wilsonville, Oregon


Man… how’s it already over halfway through the year? What the heck, right?

At the same time, ask me about something that happened in March or April of this year, and I’ll guess that it actually went down a year or two ago. Literally – I was looking through old photos, and was like

“Wait, I haven’t been to Smith this year! When did I… Ohh. March. Right! That was really moving and impactful!”

So… yeah. Weird year. It’s what the trauma of our insane and untenable world will do to you, ya know?

That, and… beautiful photo opportunities!!

A shift in July plans – Visiting the Garden

Wednesday, 07-July-2021 through Wednesday, 14-July-2021



Even in dark times, there’s always some sort of beauty around.

Thankfully for me, I didn’t have to look particularly hard, or travel particularly far, to find it.

After the service, and after visiting with family the following day, I borrowed a car and headed onto the road toward the South West, to spend a few days with my Aunt.


Without getting into too many personal details, her garden was lovely, and the disconnection from the world was exactly what I needed. We relaxed, I ate new food, we spent time reminiscing and just existing. It was good.
