Discoveries Await

Rounded a bend

on a narrow twisty-turny country road

and found this wonderful old barn

with grass growing high

and not a house or soul in sight ~

Discoveries await us 

perhaps around the very next bend

For Barry

For my brother Barry

who lost his life

to the Vietnam War

And for all the many

who gave so much

You will never be forgotten

These eye catching lovelies

are adding a big

In the Thick of Things

How does my garden grow . . .

Over zealously 

aka

Out of control !

Let Dreams Prevail

A forest walk

clears the mind

Setting dreams free

Have a beautiful weekend !

Shyly Hiding

Peering out

safely tucked

in a cozy fellowship

of greenery

Hiking at Coldwater Lake

Over the weekend hubby and I hiked the trail

around Coldwater Lake . . . 

at the base of Mt St Helens 

(We're usually over on that boardwalk)

The trail was a bit narrow in spots

The views were beyond gorgeous

It was a wonderful trek

Even the weather cooperated

Enchanted Shanty

This adorable little shanty

sits in a far corner

of a field filled with tall grasses

And I'm certain is inhabited

by Wood Sprites

that play in the forest beyond

all the day long ~

The Tiniest of Trickles

Deep in the forest

 a small stream flows

With a voice

that rings out loud

Echoing

bold and proud

Watch That Last Step

Because it doesn't exactly

go anywhere ~

After the Rain

 After a rain shower

the sun and the raindrops

play ~
