In the Wakheena Falls area outside of Portland, Oregon is a beautiful place to hike and immerse yourself in nature. The soft flow of the water, the breeze in the trees and the cool cover of the trees all provide the perfect setting that a beautiful pixy might choose to live, hence the name of the photo. The travel to the Falls area, which is just adjacent to the Multnomah Falls area, can be a wonderful day hike – so don’t forget to pack your water bottle and some sandwiches!

Photographer: Tisha Clinkenbeard (Powderly, TX, USA) Registered
Tisha Clinkenbeard works have been in exhibits at The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs, Black Box Gallery in Portland, and in several fine art shows in Texas. She believes photography captured her years ago before we had the digital wonders for cameras. Her life offers many opportunities to capture the things that she sees as she wanders this earth. Her goal is to share what she finds Round & About – which was the inspiration for her photo blog: foundroundandabout.com. Two of Tisha’s photos have been appeared in the Birds & Blooms monthly online newsletter – April and December of 2011.
