Roses Still Bloom

Visited the rose gardens cared for by the local Master Gardeners

and found gorgeous roses still blooming.

Made my heart sing.

Lake Sacajawea

 Autumn colors are just starting to show

at Lake Sacajawea, a local in-town lake

that is loved by all.

Just Hanging Around

Crisp autumn leaves

on a crisp autumn day...

  perfect for a walk around the wetlands!

Quiet Stillness of an Ancient Rain Forest

Few words can describe

the beauty of nature.

Fast Moving

  While waiting at a railroad crossing I quick grabbed my camera and snapped a few pics.

For a bit more interest I shot and processed the image in high contrast.

Something different.

Trails End

Deep in the forest green...

one of my happy places!

Luminosity

Have a happy weekend!

Colors of Autumn

I'm not one with words, they don't come easy to me.  Photography is my voice, the way I can convey my thoughts and feelings. I'm a bit of a hermit.

 But I want to say thank you, for following my work, my progress. For your encouragement and for your friendship. 

It means so very much to me.

Serenity

 With only the sounds

of a trickling stream.

Poof...

...and summer's

but a fleeting memory.

Silent Stillness

The wetlands 

reflecting the last few signs

of summer.

Hues of Gold

The late afternoon sun

 gave sparkle... 

in hues of gold.

In Remembrance

Remnants of Summer

With Autumn comes new beauty.

Have a glorious weekend!

Late Bloomers

Up near Mt St Helens we spotted these little pretties just blooming away.

Only the Lonely

This little berry was the only one left on the bush.

It looked rather lonely.

Magical Mystical Make-Believe

I believe in magic!

Leaning Towers of Birch

Stumbled upon this beautiful birch forest

where almost every tree was leaning

this way or that.

Quiet Waters

A peaceful place

to sit and wonder...

Scattering

 Leaves are taking flight..

and landing everywhere.

Autumn is in the air.

Whispers

As I stood there I could faintly hear

tales of bygone days 

in the whispering wind.

Play Day

I think that human is taking our picture.

Oh! Is my beak on straight, how do my feathers look?

You're as beautiful as you always are, Martha.

Oh George, you say the sweetest things.

Happy Friday!

End of Day

A quiet  peaceful

beautiful

time of day.

Happy September!
