Try walking thru life
Seeing the forest through the trees
View the big picture.
Haiku

Plans are often made
From the inside looking out
Or from the outside
As someone’s looking in
What is it you see?
Two different perspectives
Are presented
In a vista from within
Or an angle from without

Photo was taken on Christmas Eve 2015 in Oregon

Oregon’s highest mountain–Mt. Hood is also one of the loftiest mountains in our nation.
I feel blessed that I am able to live so close to it, visit it, and photograph it.

Bald Peak State Park–Scenic Viewpoint. In clear weather the park offers views of Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Jefferson, Mount Adams, and Mount Rainier.
(I actually saw the view of the five mountains one clear day when I was at Bald Peak Park. At the time I did not have a good camera with which to photograph the scene, therefore I had to create the picture that you see here, but the original view was similar though not quite as clear. However, it was so amazing as I did actually see all five mountains! I wish I would have had a camera that could have captured that experience. Maybe someday…..:)
Sitting on my deck
Enjoying the view,
of clouds so white and fluffy
and skies of brilliant blue.
Things seem so peaceful,
As far as eye can see,
Until a little spider,
Decides to visit me!
