I'm a free spirited aging hippie
who loves talking to flowers, chasing rainbows
and photographing all the beauty that surrounds us
Thanks for taking a peek into my little world

As Autumn settles in
so does the cold
These lovelies will be but a memory
in a soon to be
 tomorrow

Curiosities of the Past

Old Schoolhouse or Church
 
Perhaps an old store and Mt Hood
 
Total Mystery
 
On the dry east side of the Cascades
there are ghost buildings everywhere

First we heard a thunderous sound
then we saw the falls

Feather Dusting

I watched
 this little feather
as it wandered the sandy beach
and thought ...
you need to come home with me
which it did

Of the Past

Native American fishing village
along the Columbia River
Uninhabited now
but if you listen
you will hear
and if you look
you will see
hushed shadows 
of a time
long long ago
