Yesterday When I Was Young

Vines shrubs and bramble

have all but obscured

this barn of yesterday

But its once bustling life

can still be seen . .

if you squint

a lot

Sun Tanned

And rain drenched

Moss Laden

This fence is kinda in the middle of

nowhere

It was fun to stumble upon

Twirls and Swirls

and buds and blooms

What Was Once

Now sits in quiet disarray

Only hinting of its former beauty

One With the Sun

To feel the sun's rays

To soak it all in

It's good to be

alive

The Forest of Strange

Where

Tree Sprites

play

hide and seek

Impending Storm

Within minutes a fantastic thunderstorm rolled in

and minutes later

rolled on out . . .

But what a show !

Chasing Barns

I love barn chasing . . .

  This one really struck my fancy

An old barn

on a well manicured lawn

Wonderful juxtaposition !

Robust Rosey Roses

It's raining

not a dreary drudgery do

but a sweet summer sprinkle

that smells oh so good

and makes our forests and flowers

and me

very happy

The Hush of the Rush

The quiet sound of rushing falls

  echoing through the canyon

calms the mind

while it energizes the soul.

Stillness

Hope you have

a beautiful weekend

Color Burst

Purple power

in a tiny little

wildflower

in a big huge forest

A wonder to see

Wild Things and My Spiffy Camera Bag

I love these teeny-tiny wildflowers

Like little fireflies

dancing in the forest.

I adore ferns

which grow in beautiful

uncontrollable abundance.

And this . . .  is my camera bag

It's a repurposed refitted

diaper bag.

Waterproof with pockets and pouches

and zippers.

It safely stores my Canon 7d and two lenses

plus an assortment of stuff.

The bad guys haven't a clue

what hides inside.

Down the Road

My distant neighbor has the most gorgeous flowers

and this is one of them

A peony maybe . .  I don't know my flowers

though I do love them

I'm more of a tree/forest/jungle type gardener

 if that can be considered gardening.

Still Standing

This little barn

has some parts missing

 but still stands (sorta kinda) strong

It has will power!

Respite

Stopping time

clearing the mind

leaving the day behind

..if for only

one brief moment in time.

Down at the Docks

Sleepy docks

In a sleepy little town

along the Columbia River

Yellow Roses

I'm drawn to soft creamy

yellow roses

So full of light and love

So full of hope.

Wisp Kissed

The sun came out

from behind our stubborn clouds

Summer has finally

arrived...

I think  I hope

Sitting Silent

I love this barn

It sits unused and looks so lonely

So I trespassed

just a wee bit

and stole its image

nothing more.

Forgotten

A time worn fence

so not in a row

A garden forgotten

where roses still grow

Adorable Duckies

Kinda looks like mama

adopted a dozen

Mallard baby duckies ?
