My goodness, these are absolutely amazing, I wish Grand Rapids could be this awesome and I could get around well enough to photograph what I can…

By the way, how are you and the kitty doing?

I love the picture with the barge in it. My grandfather that passed away last April was a tug captain for many years. He instilled in me a deep love of the Columbia and respect for those that work the rivers in this region. I always enjoy your pictures and hope you are able to continue sharing throughout the year.
