Shadow Dancing

In the spotlight

swaying to the music

Sharing with Sweet Shot

March of the Mushrooms

Delicate little cuties

fresh and new

sparkling in

the morning dew

~

Divinely Sculpted

 Have you hugged

a tree today?

~

Do You Hear What I Hear

 

 

In the silence

I could hear

the sweet sound

of children at play

and laughter

Most of all

their laughter

 

Schoolhouse built

in 1904

~

Lush with Green

Horsetail Falls

in the forever beautiful

Columbia River Gorge

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Silent Beauty

The once was

sits silent now

but our imaginings

bring it all

back to life

~

Oasis

Hidden away

in a deep canyon

we stumbled upon

 this beautiful

oasis

~

Old Beauty

May need

a wee bit

of tuning

Oddities and Funky Finds

 

 

Randomly found 

designs

shapes and patterns

  ~

In the Pines

Pinecones

of so many shapes shades and sizes

grace the landscape

~

Scattered

Once defining

now declining

Resting

in tall grasses

 ~

Through the Years

It stands alone

where life 

once surrounded it

in a bustling town

of long ago

What memories

does it hold

 ~

In the Clouds

Mt Hood

with a blanket

of freshly fallen snow

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Reflections of Autumn

Muted Autumn colors

of the Pacific Northwest

~

The Gorgeous Gorge

I'm in total awe

of the

Columbia River Gorge

 

Taken from the Washington side

~

Pastel Skies

A storm over the mountains

gave us a beautiful gift

for our

  33rd Wedding Anniversary

~

Nearly Forgotten

An early schoolhouse sits quiet

where a town once was

The doors are not

locked

 

Inside

a piano in disrepair

 

A windmill from a far off yesterday

seen through old wavy windows

 

We took only photos

and one small rock

where children once played

~

Back Road Exploring

We found fences

that fenced nothing in

 

Bridges

that went nowhere

 

And yes

got totally lost

 

Today

 was a wonderful day

~

In Search of Ghost Towns

We meandered through the

beautiful Columbia River Gorge

to the east side of the Cascade Range

 

in search of

ghost towns

which there are many

~

Sunset Shack Attack

The warm glow of sunset

illuminated this

sweet old shack

~

Reflections of Autumn

Small inlet

Columbia River

~

Golden Glow

Aglow with Autumn

 along

Spirit Lake Hwy

~

Tis the Moon I See

 

 

It was more than

a wee bit cold and damp

my tripod kept sliding

in the dew

But seeing a total lunar eclipse

a blood moon

was an experience

too wonderful for words

~

Simplicity

Can be so

complex

~

Moonstruck

Illuminating

~

Sunday Drive

Down a quiet country road

lives this magical little lake

~

Somewhere

There's a land that I heard of

once in a lullaby

~

A Little Bit of Fluff

Seeds in the wind

for tomorrow's tomorrow

and fresh new starts

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Gently Falling Waters

Of solitude

and peace

~

Curtain Call

Deep in the land

of odd

~

Leaves of Green

Soon to turn

Autumn gold
