Punchbowl Falls

I'm still so busy living life that I've not been writing much. Never fear, blog fodder is piling up and posts are percolating in this head of mine.

In the meantime, here's a quick take on Punchbowl Falls. My cousin and her family are here from Rotterdam, and we took them on a hike up Eagle Creek last Sunday, just off the Columbia River gorge. I used to look at a photograph of this falls on a poster on my dorm room wall when I was in high school in Singapore. It's always a treat to hike in (it's only a 2-mile walk) and see the real thing.

I pause for a moment this morning to be grateful for legs that hike, eyes that see, ears that are still able to hear, and my family to love.
