Beautiful Fourth of July

I had a wonderful 4th of July off of work...I watched fireworks in downtown Portland but decided to not take photos and be present in the moment. However, other photos were taken at the coast...can't stay away from my favorite spots! And when I figure out the exact names of all these flowers I will edit this post. I hope to go to Sauvie Island this weekend and lay in the sun and wander the coast. Two more days until Saturday.

I am pondering a new career (again) because I want to enjoy the other five days in the week. I feel like a paper pusher especially in the Summer when I realize How Much I don't want to be in an office!
