Climb Every Mountain

 

May our dreams

become realities

If we try

we can

Happy New Year

my dear sweet friends

~

To Fly

on the wings

of freedom

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

 

Misty Mountain

 and the trees

were laden with frost

~

Cloaked

The Columbia River

cloaked in a heavy mist

~

Sunbeams

Rays of happiness and hope

~

Fleeting Light

Gently touched

so quickly

  Turning day 

into night

~

 

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Peace On Earth

May Your Days Be Merry and Bright

and may all your Christmases

be white

 

Merry Christmas

my dear friends

Crossing the Columbia

The Columbia River

is somewhere below

and hopefully

more bridge is ahead

 

Astoria bridge...

linking Oregon to Washington State

at the coast

~

Stormy Weather

A storm rolled in

faster than we could run

Loved every minute

of our soggy adventure

 

Spending the weekend at Cannon Beach

~

Moody Blue

A blue haze embraces the

 Columbia River Gorge

~

Christmas Wishes

Wishing you and yours

 a most joyous holiday season

~

Nearing Winter Solstice

When the sun

stands still

~

Still Waters

As day

turns to night

~

Babbling in Seclusion

Past the bramble

 down a ravine

 lies this busy little creek

hidden deep in the woods

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Feeling Christmas

It's in the air

everywhere

~

Captured

A study in snow

~

Sand Sculpture

Tidal art

~

Frozen Beauty

and reflective

stillness

embrace the wetlands

~

 

Wind Swept

Perpetual

onshore breezes

sculpt the landscape

~

Little Falls

A trickle

in between

  frozen 

~

Seeing Stars

Shiny and bright

~

On Frozen Pond

Took a very brisk walk

around the wetlands

which are solidly frozen over

Feel sorry for all the little critters

that have to brave this very cold

very rare occurrence

 

Mt St Helens

glistening

in the sunshine

~

 

 

A Bit Too Frosty

Two pairs of socks

thick gloves a scarf a hat a hood

  earmuffs

and three layers of clothes

yet still I'm cold

from my nose

to my toes

~

Frosty

Early winter

clinging to the trees

~

  

 

Simplicity

in life

is a gift

of life

~

The Deep Freeze

Put another log

on the fire

~

Hidden Falls

This little waterfall

comes out from hiding

 only in winter

when trees are sleeping

~

 

Little Pond

In a big 

  rainforest

~

Sundown

Below the horizon

  far away

 dawning on

another's day

~

The Washington Coast

Beautiful and diversified
