Speaking of flowers and rocks, I’m sure I looked like a complete dork trying to get good shots of these on our hike to and from the Upper Falls, but I didn’t care.
My main goal was to a) be able to get back up off the ground, b) not have a heart attack (because I was panting so hard I could feel my heartbeat in my temples ), and c) not slide off the trail down the mountain.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
