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

Heading In

Creating a gentle wake
and tiny ripples
on the smooth glassy lake
was a wonderfully relaxing
sight to see

High on a Hillside

Beauty is everywhere
 even in clear cuts... timber is a necessity
Little sanctuaries always remain
for the birdies and the bees
 and the temporary meadows that surround them
are always replanted

All But Forgotten

Rails
where logging trains 
once road
Now
all but sit silent

Then Came a Rainbow

As I sat high on a ridge
where wildflowers grew in the still heavy ash
    the valley floor looming
so far below
   and a storm brewing over Mt St Helens
I watched with childhood excitement
a rainbow blooming

of boats tied at

on Silver Lake

A Bright Delight

I've always loved honeysuckle
with their fragrant bursts of color
They grow in the wooded area
of the wetlands
This year in great profusion
