I'm a free spirited aging hippie
who loves talking to flowers, chasing rainbows
and photographing all the beauty that surrounds us
Thanks for taking a peek into my little world

Crossing the Columbia

The Columbia River
is somewhere below
and hopefully

linking Oregon to Washington State
at the coast

On Frozen Pond

Took a very brisk walk
around the wetlands
which are solidly frozen over
Feel sorry for all the little critters
that have to brave this very cold
very rare occurrence
 
Mt St Helens
glistening
in the sunshine

A Bit Too Frosty

Two pairs of socks
thick gloves a scarf a hat a hood
  earmuffs
and three layers of clothes
yet still I'm cold
from my nose
to my toes
