A lifetime away.

 via Habit of Art

Cathy McMurray's photos of the Pacific Northwest tug on my heart strings.  I've said it many times to so many people I've met - the Pacific NW in the summer and autumn seasons is magical. 
 

I lived in the Pacific NW for seven lovely years.  It feels a lifetime ago, but a piece of heart remains there.  Coincidentally, Ethan lived in Seattle during that same period.  We have a running battle between Portland and Seattle - and which city is better. 

But of course, Portland often wins.
