I was up at Mount Hood, looking at another mountain. It felt like a metaphor #MtJefferson #Oregon - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

Most folks go up here to look at trees rising from the fog, to watch the distant river, to get a clear view of the mountain. I am not most folks #JonsrudViewPoint #Sandy #ClackamasCounty #Oregon - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

When I lived in Idaho, inside the basement of this old church, there used to be a little store with two cats and thousands upon thousands of paperback books. #Nampa #CanyonCounty #Idaho - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

Sometimes I go on walks with my camera and wonder whether I'm recording memory, making memory, uncovering memory... I guess I don't really know. #Nampa #CanyonCounty #Idaho - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

Back before they tore down the building, I walked across town from time to time to take pictures and think about how things change and are always changing. #Nampa #CanyonCounty #Idaho - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

A perfect southern Idaho day includes a soft cloud or two in a broad blue sky, and the gentle roll of the Owyhees. #OwyheeMountains #SilverCity #OwyheeCounty #Idaho - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

I haven't driven a bus in close to a year now, but I still remember my favorite part of the trip - when the students are off at their event, and I have time to explore the neighborhood. #ChampoegStatePark #StPaul #YamhillCounty #Oregon - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)

I've taken three different cameras to the base of these falls over the last decade. All three have been soaked clear through by the time I was done exploring. Two survived for additional trips. #DriftCreek #DriftCreekFalls #LincolnCity #Oregon - patreon.com/ericmuhr (link in bio)
