Sunsets in Wilsonville

Standard

Various times throughout early 2022

Along the same lines as my last post (Ed Note: See “I like this Tree”, intrepid readers!) is the building across the street from my office. It’s a very standard office park building… but that’s not a bad thing, sometimes.

We love flowers because we know what they generally look like – the fact that there’s a lot of them that all look vaguely similar doesn’t take anything away from the beauty.

To me, it’s the same with everything in the world. Or at least, I’m trying to make a major point to see things that way. Who knows? Maybe you’ll agree that office buildings, docks, and sunsets can be just as pretty as I think they are?

And even if sunsets aren’t as pretty as I think they are… or if people are kind of used to seeing them?

Well, walking to take those pictures sometimes brings me across little pieces of inspiration like this:

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!
