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

Temporary Meadows

Trees grow fast
here in Washington State
logging is our mainstay
Sad as these cuts look 
wildflowers abound
and with pockets like this one
wildlife
always has a place to call home

In the Shadows

In a far corner
 under our Laurel Tree
these sweet wildflowers grow
I crawled on in
captured their charm
and left them to live
happily

Like a bird
we can fly
we can if we try
if we close our eyes
to see the sky
