I don’t know who placed these river rocks into the dead tree alongside the Columbia River, but I bet we’d get along great.

I have switched up my morning walk before work. I was walking south down the Columbia River. Now I walk north most days. This is the view I have now. Honestly, I don’t know why more people don’t do this, but I really like that I have the whole thing to myself most of the time.

I often see seagulls on the Columbia River – which is always a little odd because I’m rather far inland (many hours!). One morning there was a huge flock in the middle of campus – a rare sight for me! Like a kid, I had to startle them into flying and then I captured this with my phone camera. I guess the phone camera is why there are shadow birds in the image, but I think it looks cool.

Another morning walk by the Columbia River and another heron sighting. This time he was stretching his wings while fishing from a channel marker. And yes, I know. I really need to go out with a real camera and stop relying on my phone only while I’m out by the Columbia.

During a morning walk by the Columbia River it was so lovely and peaceful I decided to sit on a bench for a bit and just soak it all in. Not too long after, a pheasant strolled by. How I wish I had a better camera at that moment than my phone, but nonetheless I wanted to share it with you. Magical!

This is yet another sunrise view of the Columbia River as I walked before work. Honestly, if you could see this each morning before work – why wouldn’t you?

While I walk by the Columbia River in the mornings, I see a lot of different wildlife. Usually it’s birds – a wide variety in fact. However, sometimes I see adorable rabbits. Every single time I see one I squeal BUNNY! . … Because I’m five when I see a rabbit.

During a recent walk by the Columbia River before work I spotted a heron on a rock, head moving to and fro, looking for breakfast. Though I wish I had my camera with large lens, he was still nicely silhouetted against the river. You will want to click to get the large version of these photos or he will just be a dot on your screen…

Every weekday when I am working from my office I try to get there early and spend my first hour walking. In fact when I don’t do this I find my day doesn’t go as well. That early walk is a great time for my brain to wander and for me to simply enjoy the scenery. It helps me keep everything in perspective, I think. This may be true in part because I have the privilege of walking by the Columbia River at sunrise, and it is a glorious sight.
note the duck wakes!
