Multnomah Falls
The photographs were all taken out the car window, while in motion (except for the one at Multnomah, which conveniently has an exit and parking lot.) I love the play of the light through the Columbia Gorge - and I have long loved our columnar basalt formations, and the undulating hills which catch that light in such striking ways.
Today my husband and I drove to Casey Eye Institute in Portland, where I got good news - my left eye has returned to normal, so no surgery is needed, and I can start driving again. Hooray! Then, for good measure, I didn't need injections in either eye, so went home able to enjoy the scenery.
And I certainly did enjoy. Not only the light, but we watched large flocks of ducks, a considerable number of eagles, viewed a large beaver dam, saw two groups of mountain sheep, and enjoyed both a beautiful sunrise and sunset (though I did have to crane my neck to see the latter.) We went from sun to clouds to sun to rain to sun...spring must getting near. The hills were green, the river mostly calm, and the trip a delight. I am so thankful to be able to see better - and I am so thankful for all those who have driven me while I couldn't drive myself.
