FEATHER FALLS

The sixth highest waterfall in the United States.
GORP - National Recreation Trails - Feather Falls

Water plunges 640 feet over a sheer granite cliff to the canyon floor in its rush to meet the Middle Fork of the Feather River and Lake Oroville.

The Feather Falls National Recreation Trail, a challenging self-guided trail (2,500 foot elevation gain) will take you to beautiful Feather Falls.

It's the same feeling
The smells aren't as sharp as before
The sights lack the clarity.
But the feeling is the same.
Midnight moon, ocean breeze,rumbling surf.
Fishing boats bob on the swells as they shine for squid.
The curve of the coastline is still outlined in diamonds.
Men and boys dressed in sweats and jackets talk excitedly as they try their luck as night fishermen.
Lovers still cling to each other cooing as they stroll along the pier.
The feeling is still the same
The beauty and serenity is still the same
So is the dull ache in the heart
A moment unshared

Meet the Grandkids

I never thought it would come to this.

Should I sneer ?
Should I hate the world I live in ?
Maybe despise myself so much that I
Treat those around me the way I feel I deserve ?
Show disdain for the love offered ?
Waste away the time others have spent ?
Squander the riches I have inherited ?
Shall I infest the life I live with cancerous self pity ?

Nah,
Not today.

I'm not in the mood.

Marky Speaks

It is not often when you know someone who is as interesting to watch as to listen to in a conversation. My dear friend Mark is one of those.




During one intense interaction, I was struck by the animation occurring before my very eyes. I lifted my camera and took this series of photos. Helio continued to speak and make point after point with no regard for the camera. This IS what it looks like to speak with him. How much fun can one have in one conversation?
