Winter Sun

A rare sunny afternoon

made the trees glow red

and our smiles shine bright

~

 

Mountain Drive

 

I always love seeing

the ever changing vistas

at Coldwater Lake

 ~

Still Standing Proud

Though its hay days

live in the past

Watchful Eyes

High atop the highest tree

he sat

patiently

It Tolls For Thee

Have a beautiful Sunday

Run Barefoot

I just had another birthday

I'm grateful for another year

which slip by faster and faster

Live every moment

of every day

of every year

Run barefoot

in the rain

Fire in the Sky

A most unusual sunset

Softly Swaying

A fresh new Lily Pad

Beauty is

a tree

slumbering through the winter months

Wannabe Barn

I love little outbuildings

  They often let us sneak a peek

of life

in days gone by

In the Mist

Trailblazing

Note to self ...

Always carry a compass !

A Most Serene Scene

Mr and Mrs Mallard

out for an early evening paddle

Shrouded Sound

I love the sounds of snow

Ethereal

Like an echo hushed

Oh Sweet Valentine

Would you

be

mine

Shine On

 and then

the sun came out

Six Degrees of Rust

Rust is a

barn charmer!

Low Fog Forming

Fog rolls in

over the wetlands

I Squint a Glimpse of Spring

and dream

of all the beauty

it will bring

Softly Glowing

in the afternoon light

A Lake Was Born

Coldwater Lake

born from the eruption

of Mt St Helens

in 1980

Sharing with Top Shot

 

Along the Columbia River

the river is long and wide

it can be ravenously wild

or as serene as a baby's bath

Sharing with Watery Wednesday

Daydreaming...

Through the Misty Light

Mt St Helens

peeking through

Mirror Image

Water so calm

it blended into

  the sky

~

Between Raindrops

Everyday is a good day

for a stroll through the woods

~

Misty Blue

As far as the eye could see

which was just a wee bit past

the end of my nose
