Moments of Magic in Oregon: LAPC, WWP

Remembering moments of magic in Oregon

Rambling past remnants of history with curious children in tow

Wreck of the Peter Iredale, Fort Stevens State Park, Oregon

Watching bird broods on windswept islands stretch their wings to flutter and fly

Seabird colony, Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, Oregon

Feeling the pounding rhythm of roiling water and the softness of its spray

Multnomah Falls, Oregon

Listening to voices from long ago telling tales of hardship and happiness

Fort Rock Homestead Village Museum, Oregon

Pausing to marvel at moments of magic in colorful soil, layer by layer

Painted Hills Unit, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge (LAPC) – Magical

Weekend Writing Prompt (WWP) – Rhythm (67 words)
