Thinking fondly of the Aure River in Bayeux France

Had a few moments to appreciate a waterfall in the middle of Bend Oregon today along the Deschuttes River.  It was in the last moments of dusk, as a bright moon hung over the falls in the middle of downtown Bend, which in so many ways is more like a village than a city.  It was peaceful, but it really made me think back on — and appreciate — the waterfalls and waterwheel along the Aure River in France where it disects Bayeaux, in the shadow of the Bayeaux Cathedral. Wonderful place and a beautiful village. I thoroughly enjoyed the three days we stayed in Bayeaux in 2013.   

Happiness is a clear dusk with the moon overhead and a full view of mt. bachelor on the distance…

Flying out of Bend for meetings. If there is a more peaceful airport in the world (that services major airlines) I’d like to see it. I never get used to the view between airplane and airport here.
