This is a huge loss to Oregonians. Leah Sottile's journalism is a huge asset to residents of our state (and heck, all people who want to be informed)!

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

It’s late in autumn, Not counting the fallen leaves, The dock is quiet. #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

I think based on everything we know people are underestimating the possibility that Larry Summers deliberately sabotaged Obama rather than shot down a larger stimulus out of stupidity.

Autumn trails give way, After losing their turned leaves, To bright winter skies #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Approaching solstice, And the shortest daylight hours, Foliage lights the sky #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Grocery store skies Looking up you’re reminded Each step is a prayer #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Towering autumn, Colors filled in by the fall, Winter is coming #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #TryonCreek #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Walk to the river Every day with the seasons. Changes soothe the soul #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #WillametteRiver #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

The rain fallen On leaves that have left their trees Beginnings finished #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Happy Dick Cheney is Dead Day. How fitting for it to coincide with a genuine Blue Wave (tm) Cheney owns this era by selecting himself to be VP when charged with finding someone who could lie us into an unprecedented & unjustified war that would cost us dearly in lives, treasure and reputation.

Oh and fuck Hakeem Jeffries and fuck Chuck Schumer

Stopping at places With the light of the season As if it’s brand new #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #AutumnPhotography #OregonPhotography #Wilsonville #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Contemplating change, falling back fall to winter. Now hoping for snow #Haiku #Photography #OregonPhotography #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Spring blooms the tulips, Autumn, the maple’s bright leaves. Seasons take their turn #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #PortlandJapaneseGarden#Portland#Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

There’s often one day Between the October rains When the sun shines bright #PortlandJapaneseGarden @[email protected] #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography#Portland#Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Each day when I walk There’s a spot on the river That changes each day #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #WillametteRiver #Wilsonville #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

The forest lightens In Autumn when the leaves turn, Heading to Winter #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #TryonCreekStatePark #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Today my lunch walk to the Willamette River A textbook autumn day #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #WillametteRiver #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

My spot on the dock. On a walk to the river each day, I find peace #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #WillametteRiver #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

Deep roots that spread far 20 seasons have now passed Wandering while rooted here #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

A tunnel to fall The canopy sways above Crunching leaves below #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #OregonPhotography #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

I mourn and rejoice, The passing of some seasons And beginning new #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #TryonCreekStatePark #OregonPhotography #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

There is no war. Portland Oregon 9/27/2025 #PortlandOregon

There is no war. This is nuts. Portland, Oregon, September 27, 2025

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

Each of the seasons, Has moments that tip their hand. Autumn crocus blooms. #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #FlowerPhotography #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape

"The Buddha, the godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer in the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha — which is to demean oneself" -Robert Pirsig

With summer’s last hike, I can’t help but feel sorrow. Autumn color soothes. #Haiku #Photography #MonochromeAndColor #ForestPhotography #TryonCreek #Portland #oregon #PNW #MakeArtEveryDay #MakeToEscape
