There are a few spots, Daily on my lunch walk trail, I can’t help but stop. #Photography #Haiku #MonochromeAndColor #WinterPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography#Oregon#Oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

June 2021. Timeless.

There’s not a bad time, To look up to the clear sky, And take in the moon. #MoonPhotography #Photography #Haiku #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography#Oregon#Oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

I take a lunch walk, To the Willamette River, Sunshine, rain or snow. #WillametteRiver #Photography #Haiku #MonochromeAndColor #WinterPhotography #RiverPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography#Oregon#Oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Took a walk today, Under this cloud filled blue sky, Near the end, it rained #Photography #Haiku #MonochromeAndColor #WinterPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography#Oregon#Oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

It’s grey at the park, Plenty of benches and chairs, Nobody sitting . #Photography #Haiku #MonochromeAndColor #WinterPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography#Oregon#Oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Found a beaver’s dam, Here in the Toquin Scablands, Filling the kolk ponds . On the #IceAgeTrail #Photography #Haiku #NaturalHistory#Haiku#Haiku #MonochromeAndColor #WinterPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography#Oregon#Oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

In a garden The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth. One is nearer God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else on Earth. — Dorothy F. Gurney #PortlandRoseGarden #Photography #Haiku #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnP... https://www.danstark.com/2025/12/19/in-a-garden-the-kiss.html

Watching autumn turn, To winter on the river Now the waters rise #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Four season forests, Burst with new colors with each. Mushrooms take their turn #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #LandscapePhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

With one quiet breath you can see the fall forest looking through the trees #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #LandscapePhototography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Autumn is holding, The canopy lit by sun, Today’s hike a joy. #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Weeping willow turned, Winter solstice approaches, Soon the days lengthen. #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Sometimes I wonder, As a colorblind photographer, What colors you see. #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape
