I live in the woods - enjoy traveling, books (reading, not banning), and recreating in nature. I won't provide breaking news, and I may not post that often, but I will always be positive.

A short intro: I am a blue dot in the red blob of Montana. I live with my wife, cat, and three dogs along the NW corner of Glacier NP. I measure ecosystem performance and production of ecosystem services for a living. I like peace and quiet and ignore🧌🧌. Photos attached to make post interesting.

Every City should have a park like Portland's Tabor Park. The park is located on an old cinder cone in SE Portland. The park has many trails leading up to the peak of the cinder cone and they all pass through amazing large trees like the ones show below. Perfect for a necessary infusion of nature.

My big city escapade has been productive, but in the last two days I have filled my annual quota of human interaction. Accordingly, I ducked out early today to explore. This photo is of downtown Portland with the west hills in the background. Taken from the top of Mt Tabor (an amazing urban park).

Looking forward to a week in Portland, OR discussing sustainability at the International Living Futures Conference. Hoping to get some urban nature photos while here. Got an early start on the flight.

Photo: picked the right side of the plane to get a fantastic view of Mt Hood flying into PDX.

In this quiet moment, with the world far away
Just breathe in beauty, let the spirit play.

With every soft whisper, and the light's sweet sway
Time seems to linger, as night steals the day.

Reflections of clouds
As above, so below
Like a sky in shrouds
Swirling to and fro

Nature’s mirror shows
A storm-ridden sky
Where sadness grows
And the heavens cry

Photo: The reflection from our pond on a stormy evening . . . and no, I did not make it home before the rain started.

Dearest Earth, thank you
For sheltering us through Space

So when you look into the sun
And see the words you could have sung
It's not too late, only begun
We can still make summer
Yes, summer always comes anyway

- from Look into the Sun by Jethro Tull

Photo: Inexorable progress towards summer - the budding larch and delicate mosses springing to life.
