beauty in the details

not the post i had intended for today, but thought i'd share anyway.

everyday on my way to and from work i have the opportunity to observe the progress on the OHSU tram (a big controversial solution to transportation issues here in PDX). and things are getting kind of close to being finished so today i was thinking about how fun it might be and wondering if it might somehow become a crazy tourist attraction (kind of like trams on the matterhorn and other things of that nature) and all of the sudden i really looked at my drive heading directly west towards the hills and my thoughts were quieted by the beauty of the changing colors of the trees on the hill below OHSU.

i make that drive everyday. and i'm always running late or annoyed with the guy in front of me or distracted by something else, but today my mind sat still for just a moment as i celebrated in the beauty of the changing leaves on the side of a portland hill.

thank goodness for the little things.
