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

In winter moss clings to our trees
keeping them green
all year long

Morning Frost

This was tagged at the nursery
as a creeping redwood
Um ... so far it's 30 feet high
and growing
Not exactly a low growing creeper
Whatever it is
I love it

especially when covered
in freshly fallen snow
Mt St Helens

Of Yesterday

Log trains of yesterdays not so long ago
chugged along these rails daily
No longer needed they now sit idle
freeing nature to reclaim her land

A Little Bit of Sunshine

Nine months of the year
we live under the cover of clouds
with an almost continuous drizzle
I love our webbed foot weather
but when the sun finds its way through
we rejoice

Riverside Woodlands

Years ago Bill and I stumbled across
this small nearly hidden unkempt no name state park
in a canyon alongside the Columbia River
The light that filters through
makes magic

Rugged west facing crater wall
Mt St Helens
