The Pacific Northwest is known for its rain. And because it rains for so many months of the year, folks around here don’t let the rain stop them. They just don their rain gear and carry on. I love that perseverance and the joy I’ve found in a rainy day hike through the Columbia River Gorge. This collage depicts just that – a person enjoying the beauty that only a wet day can bring – abundant waterfalls, the contrast of a bright orange umbrella on a grey sky, and maybe even a rainbow or two. Incorporated into this piece are the words, “wander”, “play”, discover” and “Columbia River Gorge” among others.
