Vol. 14 On road alone Hurricane Creek and Hat point

Beauty of the wilderness

I slept at many odd place during my life.

I don't mind sleep out side on the ground of no where or just a night in my car.

But there is one thing remind me about humanity---that is always have nice people give others an warm offer to make the world a better place to travel.

On this trip, I met four kindly people, they are Allan, Norma, Bill and Debbie.

Being a wise man who had travel around world 20years ago, Allan taught me many knowledge and stories that interested me. And he gave me the tent he used to travel around the world to warm up my solo trip. I appreciated and admire them all!

Morning Light though the woods
Decay
Reflection
Flood

No way out

7000 feet

land of extrem

and the flowers growing there

Stand on the top of the mountain.

I'm a piece of sand from desert ... or a drop of water from ocean... empty and open

Last view when we leave.

I left the last memory about the mountains by a piece of coal.

Last view

The memory will lasts until the rain cry out the sky.

Vol. 13 On road alone Wallowa lake/Joseph

Travel is an rhythm of life

Among the lakes I have been traveled, Wallowa lake is absolutely a very beautiful one, if there is not that many crows I will rate it 9/10

Chill under the shade, watch people come and goes but the lake never changes.

Human are looking for the fun and enjoy by themselves, because the insignificant existence we do proud who we are and what we are doing, even there is no deeper meaning behind it.

On the High way 3 there is a small place sell the world famous Milk shake, I had one, taste ok... But since that's only food supply on a 85 miles high way. I admire the shop.

Joseph: a little town 5miles away from Enterprise, OR

In this little place you will find the old feeling like travel through the time back to Renaissance

age. Sweet and pretty.

Sometimes has something with very unique style

Joseph is a very artistic town, very cute buildings and color combinations

Art is a way people can enjoy their life and maybe for some people they can find the meaning of their lives.

Vol.12 On road alone Pullman

One day, I just wanna walk out, to feel the warm wind and the cold breath from my lung.

One day, I just wanna sit, to feel the beating heart still pun pin.

One day, I just wanna dream, to the land that no one else arrived before and settle in a peace.

So, One day, I am on my way, alone on the road, to where the wind takes.

Inhale and exhale.

Candy ready

Great art and great people

Vol.10 Born in summer, Die in summer

It's a real story. Started on 20th May, 2010

On my way back home, I saw a shore bird, which is unusual appears on Campus.

and I followed his sounds I heard another one

They were keeping alert each other or me, from a safe distance. I knew there were must be something interesting waiting for me. Then I found them

In the following days, I was keep recording their grow up journal, I love this little family traveled and breed out side where they belongs

Brothers are resting..

Parents too

They are very health birds.

Until May 24th , the fourth day I went to observe them, they were gone.

And I was sad....

But I heard the parents's call, a sound that unusual for me compare to the past few days.

So I followed it and came to the parking lot, about 100 feet to where they were. and I only saw the parents.

The long and sad sing with out response.

I checked my note and searching around.

their babies were died, right besides where they were.

It was 4:30 pm 24th

My heart was broken, how and why three babies died together besides the road?

they will never response to their parents' call any more.

-------------------

the dirt was wet, no dog or cat prints, 3 babies died together, feather has no damage which indicate there was no attack from predators.

tissue is still soft, ants just started check the bodies which indicate the time of death should be 1-4hours before I came.

which was 1:30-4:00pm

After Dissection, I found that three babies died at same time by outer force, break of neck, (Cervical spine). which maybe was one or couple children played around and found them and killed them.

-------------------

Their life of journal were short. I could not even finish the 3rd page of my note book

The nature is Cruel, especially around humans, their parents made a big mistake to pick the location of breeding and lead their offspring's death. God bless them went to peace.

The sound of parents still around the campus in the parking lot, they must be wounder, why their kids did not response any more.
