Photosynthesis 5.0 – My Writer’s Journey

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko — This was the fifth in the series. I’d made the third and now this one, Photosynthesis 5.0 in Neah Bay Washington.

I love Neah Bay. I haven’t been in love with a place like this since Okinawa. This was perhaps different…
