I Touched the Sky

I reached up high

I touched the sky

~

Swan Lake

At the ballet

~

Shimmering Softly

in the early morning light

 

I hope you have

a beautiful weekend

~

Wandering the Back Roads

East of the Cascades

has a beauty all its own

~

 

Whispering in the Wind

I paused to listen

to their ode

to summer's end

 ~

Late Summer Color

Days are getting shorter

Here in the Pacific Northwest

Autumn is in the air

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Tell Me

Where have you sailed

What have you seen

What adventures have you beheld

~

Pathways

Life's paths

ought be filled

  with wonder

~

Daintily Dangling

in pale pastel

~

In the Morning Twilight

Dawn

over the Cascades

~

The Dance

in the quiet light

of dusk

~

Serenity Violently Created

Coldwater Lake

  born from the eruption of Mount St Helens in 1980

its banks still littered with

blown down trees

~

Bold Beauty

Lighting up the shadows

  ~

Morning Has Broken

With a wisp of mist

still in the air

Over the

Toutle Mountain Range

~

Joy

I heard the daisies

sing

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Subtle Hints of Change

 Late Summer

mingles

with early Autumn

~

Elusive

Butterfly of Love

~

Plum Crazy

Harvest time

~

As the Dawn Breaks

The morning mist

dancing upon the waters

at Coldwater Lake

~

Early Morning Sun

 

Coldwater Lake

just after sunrise

 Mt St Helens

letting off some steam

~

A Riot of Rustic Rust

 

 

Rusty and dusty

and a wee bit crusty

 ~

Twilight Time

At the edge

of the forest

~

Perseverance

Still wearing

last year's

fall fashion

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Bashful Blue

The  hydrangea

 a soft subtle

garden companion 

~

Cloud Nine

Gently drifting

in a dream

~

Fiery Red

Wildflowers 

that beg to be noticed

~ 

Poofies

The cycle

of life

~

So Sweet a Scent

Has the Rose

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

The Harvest

Blazing gold

in the summer sun

~

Framing the Light

Bright sunlight

and high contrast 

can be a challenge

a polarizer helps tremendously

~

Mini Falls

Cute little Japanese garden
