We startled this tiny fawn sleeping quietly in the flower-filled meadow today! we walked right past without even seeing it at first.

This time of year, Great River is full of new life. Baby fawns are tucked into the tall grasses and wildflowers throughout the landscape. It is one of the many gentle reminders that this land continues to hold both life and loss.

🦉 In the shrouded mist of a winter burial, we were given this gift. We were honored to witness a short-eared owl hunting over Mountain View Meadow, its quiet, ethereal flight a reminder that life continues even in moments of farewell.

Wishing you peace, reflection, and quiet moments of renewal and hope this holiday season. ❄️

Happy Winter Solstice❄️

After years of waiting in snow and rain at dawns and dusks, a rare break in the winter clouds allowed us to observe the winter solstice sunrise, putting the last peg in our Solar Tracker 🪵!

As expected, the sun rose at a point on the horizon directly opposite the peg that marks the summer solstice sunset.

Our solar tracker, made from a 147-year-old Douglas Fir lost in a wildfire, is located in Mountain View Meadow which sits on a ridge high above the Columbia River. It offers something unusual and quietly stunning: views of both sunrise and sunset from the same place. With the completion of the Solar Tracker, visitors can now see the points along the horizon where the sun rises and sets for each solstice and equinox - marking the slow, steady turning of the year. In these movements, we’re reminded that even at the darkest point, the light returns, and that life, death, and renewal are not endings, but part of the same enduring cycle 🌿.
