I have realized lately that I haven't been writing very much, just haphazardly posting things, perhaps this will change soon... perhaps.

A Summer Place.

Kidder Creek Orchard Camp is a tiny rustic summer camp in Greenview CA, it is one of the major loves of my life. These pictures represent some of the best candid moments from 8 years of ministry (I do not take credit for most of the photography a lot of it was done by Craig Thompson and Darin McQuoid click the images enlarge)

Snow in the Russian wilderness on the hike to the Rocks site.

It is one of my all time favorite hikes on the way to Ukanam falls.

Ministry moments on the Klamath look something like this.

Home

I found this picture of Nuevo on Wikipedia, isn't it perfect? I am so lucky to have such a happy bond with the past, when I think of this little town I am flooded with lovely thoughts of stars, hot asphalt, olive trees, damp grass fields, goats, Long walks and engrossing conversation at the lake, adventures at the bubble and camel rock , memories of community, family,friendship and simple pleasures.

Before I die

I want to spend some nights beneath the Aurora Borealis, in a tiny tent with no companion but a telescope, and when the sun comes up, begin to dream and ponder wrapped in warm stuffy sleep.

Clutter Shops

Flutter is an adorable little shop over on Mississippi Ave. They sell plethora of unique "found objects" it is one of my favorite places to dig around.

Another lovely shop is Justin & Burks in Sellwood it is like a museum of refurbished and raw antiques. the owner (Justin) is one of the nicest people I have EVER met it is worth going out of your way to take a look around and have a nice chat with him.
