Movement

I have been in Portland for just under a month - and it's been wonderful. I'm living at the house of my brother and his wife, which is perfectly located in SE. I bike to work, take weekend yoga classes, and enjoy the peace/connection of neighborhood life. I have yet to take many photos of this new place - but I wanted to honor our time in Eastern Oregon with a few recent photos of our great adventures over the last year....


Photos of the family from Mark & Manpreet's wedding.



Dad...at (and in) the Blue Banana.


Barn in Joseph, OR.



Photos from the La Grande Triathlon...
I won in my age & gender division (out of 3 competitors).
Karina and Mark chalked the road for me and made signs!



Friends at the Farm's Market during a November visit to Burlington, VT.
I'm holding a bag with a cookie - not Brian's hand....



Matt getting ready to set the duck traps at Ladd Marsh.


Hay bales in Joseph, OR. I waited and waited for the sun to come through.
So did Johanna patiently - thank goodness for kind friends!


Sandy & Karl looking down over the Canyon in Imnaha...
their friend is busy finding rocks to roll. :)


Some pictures from my PhD Graduation in May 2010!


Matt on the sand summit at Pacific City (and a shot of the dune).


"Stepping Out"...a 5.11a Spring Mountain climb that destroyed me and now haunts my dreams...That and "The Project" (a 5.11d) are my favorites!


Beautiful shots from Matt & my hike to Mirror Lake and Eagle Cap.
We did about 20 miles in under 24 hours...
