Wonderful Creation!

While riding this afternoon I had that realization again of being grateful for being alive and having the ability to enjoy God's wonderful creation.  Yesterday I was in the Columbia Gorge taking in all the beauty and grandeur of that amazing area.

During the spring we get a mixed bag of weather, sometimes within the same day.  Storms blow in and out quickly.  Above is an image taken yesterday afternoon looking up the Columbia River to the east.

About an hour later the sun was out as seen from the parking lot of Multnomah Falls.  For more images from the falls look here. 

A side effect of riding is to become an amateur weather buff.  I like that.  Weather is another aspect that brings me closer to the reality of this wonderful creation.

I hope you're enjoying your part of the world!
