Happiness Is

  bright red lovelies

 dancing

in the afternoon breeze

~

In the Land of Odd

Round a bend

and a completely different

forest appears

Moss covered trees alive and well

their needle laden branches way up high

with a birch or two mixed in

I love this magical place!

~

Calm Before the Storm

A nasty storm is headed

for the Pacific Northwest

bringing heavy rains and strong winds

Trees will tumble

hillsides will slide

rivers will rise

Oh joy...

~

In the Clouds

As seasons change

so does Mt St Helens

~

All is Calm

Perfect for

a paddle about

~

Bringing Lightness and Light

to a rainy day   

~

Adrift

In a sea

of tranquility

Autumn Blues

Blue in the garden

a lovely sight to behold

~

Welcome Autumn

and all your

charm and beauty

~

Transitioning

The trees will turn

the snow will fall

New beauty awaits

in the mountains

I so love

~

Autumn is in the Air

Happy Friday my dear friends!

~

Reflections

On quiet waters

~

Up Up and Away

Canadian Geese

ready to head north

for the winter

Watching the Fish Swim By

Is so very relaxing

Little Creek

Nearly dry from the summer months

it awaits the changing seasons

Late Bloomers

These lovelies

are just starting to bloom

Mini Tip

Just prior to capturing an image

check the background

is it what you want to include

or will it distract

~

Trickling Waters

Lifts the heart

opens the mind

renews the soul

~ 

Colorful Cutie

Making a bold statement

in the garden

~

Nearing Twilight

 when a hushed 

stillness

  blankets the day

~

Come Sit a Spell

and listen

to the sounds

of silence

~  

Thirst Quenching Rain

make all the flowers

happy

~

Coldwater Lake

Trees knocked down

when Mt St Helens erupted

have become part of

the landscape

~

High Fashion

As kids we'd snap open the green centers 

where all that wonderful sticky stuff lives 

and attach them to our noses

It was all the rage ...

~

Flying Free

 May your soul soar

like the Osprey

and may your heart sing

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Still Going Strong

Still lighting up

  mountain meadows

~

Falling Leaves

A few are

starting to turn

~

Secret Places

away from the things of man

~

Pretty Puffy Pinks

Beauty is everywhere

even along the side of the road

Dwellings

Everything in nature

has a purpose ...

and repurpose

~ 

Mini Tip:

While wandering a path or trail

a city street or at the beach

Turn around 

for a different perspective

~

Laced in Rain

Caught by 

an intricate web
