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

Forgotten

Once much needed
now forgotten

Last Light

 In the woodlands
darkness so quickly steals away
the day

Autumn is in the Air

Leaves are turning
days are growing shorter and crisper
with that wonderful certain something 
in the air

Wisps of White in a Deep Blue Sky

There is a place I often go
   to sit and dream
high above the Toutle Valley
and Mt St Helens in the near distance
the mountain I so love

reached up 
and captured the sun

Riding the Rails of My Mind

A train passes by
from afar
  and my mind wanders
and wonders
of places yet to see

Upon Reflection

I watched as this little feather 
 floated to Earth
as if with great purpose

The Pureness of Green

Simple leaves of green
speak of peace
tranquility
and hope

Second Star From the Right

Just close your eyes
and open your heart
and soon you will see
  Neverland 
where dreams come to be

The Other Stonehenge

Stonehenge 
Overlooking the Columbia River
in Washington State
Built to scale in 1914
to honor veterans of WWI

Dream Weaving

Watching the breeze
help puffs of white
take flight
on a sleepy afternoon

Aged to Perfection

To walk through
an old growth forest
is to be one with the Earth
and all the beauty it holds

A Rainbow of Color

 A rainbow in a wildflower
happily blooming in a grove of pines
out our front door

Puffs of Fluffs

At night
when the moon shines bright
sparkling seeds take flight
to the fairies delight

Worn and Weary

Down our little road 
sits an old abandoned dairy
Though time has passed it by
whispers of yesterday
can still be heard

Image for the Imagination

The sun shining brightly
a flower in full bloom
a wave at its curl
or just a splash of color to chase away gloom
It is 
whatever you want it to be
It is
whatever the eye wants to see

Remains of the Day

Where forests once stood
now only drifts of wood remain
They in their own way
show beauty
Mt St Helens
erupted in 1980

Majestic

Tall and twisty
with a curly cue branch
A grand old timer
doing its own thing

Dream Dancing in the Sky

High above
 a mending landscape
Mt St Helens

Roses Still Bloom

Days are growing shorter
Autumn's chill is in the air
So when I see a freshly opened Rose
my heart sings

Secret Gardens

A wonderland filled with fun
for little flower sprites
and their pixie pals

Strength

Without one there would be none
of the thousands of firefighters
battling the flames
of the many wildfires still burning
in the Pacific Northwest
Thank you for your courage
and strength

Stillness

The hour after sunset
when stillness 
and that little bit of mystery
prevail

As Darkness Falls

Walking the wetlands
at the last light of day
