Saying Goodbye to July

With a

sunny bright

sendoff

~

The Old West

 

 

In glorious

black and white

~

Robust

In a small Japanese garden

these reds were quietly 

screaming

 ~

Keeping Cool

 

On a warm summer day

Great Blue Heron

Sultry Saturday

Just lazed

in the shade

~

Unhinged

 

Set your inner self

free

~

Rowing Around Silver Lake

Summers are short here

We try to enjoy

each and every day

~

In an Orderly Fashion

Canada Goslings

following Mom

at Coldwater Lake

Walking Amongst the Wildflowers

 

During July and August

the wildflowers

go wild

~

River Walk

Lower Columbia River

 

Some pretties

along the way

 

and that crazy whirly thingy

~

Swaying in the Summer Breeze

 

 

On a sleepy warm

July day

Country Road

Take me home

~

I Can Fly

I can fly

if I try

if I close my eyes

to see the sky

~

Listening to the Whispering Trees

For they are so much wiser

than we

~ 

Shipwreck

Maybe it has hidden treasures

~

Parts and Pieces

 

 

Looking for the abstract

in abstract places

~

Whirly Swirlies

 

 

Playing with flowers

this can get addictive  

~

Cloudy

Along the Columbia River

 I love cloudy days

~

A Bit of Rust

 

 

Fun with rust

~

Crafted by Nature

Eastern flank of crater

 Mt St Helens

Vegetation still struggles to take hold

 in the mountains of ash

Butterfly Morning

Wildflower

Lakeside

Coldwater Lake

Remains of Yesterday

Once a homestead

now just the fence remains

~

Dainty Daisies

 

 Fields full of daisies

   delectably delightful 

~

Hiking About

I get euphoric

in a beautiful forest

 

To the right of that cliff

is this waterfall

 

 

It was well worth the climb

the misstep

and the bruises

that followed

( but I saved my camera

from destruction )

 

It was a perfect day

~

Buds and Blooms

A bloom a day

The beautiful

Daylily

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Off the Beaten Path

Took a side road

off a side road

off a side road

 

As I stood there in total bliss

I felt the earth start to shake

Out of the shadows

came great big Porky

To greet us

or eat us

we didn't hang around to find out

~

Watching and Waiting

Washington State

has the greatest number of UFO sightings

in the USA

 

When they finally land

I'll give them

a poppy

~

Peaceful Pastures

Discussing the days romping

and eating plans

~

Making Tracks

 

Watching trains roll by

on a warm summer's day

~
