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

Wishing All the Best

So many thoughts
of yesteryear
So many tomorrows
yet to come
for our hopes and dreams
to flourish
 
Happy New Year

when the winds calm
and the sky softly darkens

My Favorite Road to Nowhere

It ends abruptly at Nowhere
just over and down the hill
A wondrous place
where tree sprites
come to play

it was a lenticular cloud
above the Cascade Range
with Mt St Helens
showing off her snow covered
volcano made
flat top
