weary flag descends
half-staff honors yet again
our right to bear arms

The Daily Post one-word prompt: Congregate
Sometimes
ONE isn't the loneliest number.

The Daily Post weekly photo challenge: A Face in the Crowd

flakes drift from night sky
snow drift builds against my sill
I drift off to sleep

When I think about the best parts of living in the Pacific Northwest portion of the United States, I think of the diversity of nature. With my home situated near Portland, Oregon, I am just hours away from beaches, forests, mountains and high desert (with the occasional urban area thrown in).
This week’s Daily Post photo challenge asks us to show images of where we live. I just happen to have a ton of photos 😉 , but I’ll narrow it down to a handful.
Oregon Coast

The Pacific Ocean near Oceanside, Oregon
Forests

Ochoco National Forest, Oregon
Mountains

Mt. Saint Helens in Skamania County, Washington State. This volcano erupted most recently in 1980.
High Desert

Painted Hills near Mitchell, Oregon
And of course, the city where I live, Vancouver, Washington

Columbia River and the Vancouver, Washington river bank.
