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

Within

Journey to the center of a daylily.
May the sun shine brightly on you today...
even if it's raining.

Pretty Little Oddity

Found this odd little plant at an abandoned nursery.
It looks like a fuzzy orange spider, with claws, on a stick. 
Needless to say I've never seen anything like it.
Do you know what it is or might be?

Daylilies in Waiting

To bloom for one sweet day
then too quick
they fade away.

Blues in the Garden

I love blue in the garden 
and purple, and white, and...

Just Peachy

I think I've fallen in love with the rose.

Over the River and Through the Woods...

Boardwalk over the wetlands. 
There's so much foliage this year it's hard to see the water.
But it's oh so beautiful!

So Very Mellow Yellow

These little cuties are bursting open
 creating an explosion of yellow
 at the wetlands where I often walk.
Do you know what it is?
 I really need to buy a wildflower book.
I hope you have a beautiful week!

Daydreaming

Nose to Nose.. With a Rose

The Cycle of Life

Budding roses
soon to unfurl...
to nothing more
than a flowerless swirl.

Sunbathing

This wild rose was reaching toward the sun, trying to catch some rays
which we've had very little of so far this summer.

Pretty Purple Pleasure

Discovered this pretty little flower
at the wetlands today.
As usual I'm clueless as to its name
..other than wildflower.

The Glorious Morning Glory

These beauties grow in over-abundance, here in the Pacific Northwest
and sadly are considered weeds.  It's hard to dislike such a lovely weed.

Happy Foxglove


I hope you have a glorious weekend!

Swirls and Curls of Yellow

The yellow rose symbolizes joy and happiness  
but most importantly, friendship.
And a true friend
is like a gift from God.

Dainty Wildflowers

Beautiful wildflowers gracing the wetlands.
It's a joy to see so much in bloom.

Coldwater Lake



Our first visit to Coldwater Lake 
was on a cold foggy day in May.
This time the skies were blue, the day perfect.
Both were equally beautiful.

Heading Home


I hope your week is starting off great!

Mt St Helens~In the Blast Zone

In May of 1980 Mt St Helens violently erupted
devastating the region and leaving a deep crater.

Desolate left flank of the crater.
 

Huge mudflows ripped through the once fertile valley
leaving a path of destruction. 

Life is slowly returning to the mountains and the valleys.

In 200 years the dome will be rebuilt and once again the forests will stand proud and tall...
Until it erupts again!

Mt St Helens

Mt St Helens in the summer
is just as glorious
as it is in the winter

Happy Tibbar-Tibbar Day!


To wish someone a
Happy Tibbar-Tibbar Day
on the first day of the month
is to wish them
and bring them
much good luck!
(Yup, it's rabbit spelled backwards)
