Wishing All the Best

So many thoughts

of yesteryear

So many tomorrows

yet to come

for our hopes and dreams

to flourish

 

Happy New Year

my dear sweet friends

~

Shades of Nightfall

 Subtly

  the night transforms

the day

~

I Wish the World Could Be

In perfect

harmony

~

Little Olequa Falls

Not very big

but ever so charming

It always makes me smile

~

Against a Winter Sky

At that quiet time

when the winds calm

and the sky softly darkens

~

My Favorite Road to Nowhere

It ends abruptly at Nowhere

just over and down the hill

A wondrous place

where tree sprites

come to play

~

The Sound of Silence

and serenity

~

Merry Christmas

My wish for all

in every land

Let there be

Peace on Earth

 

Merry Christmas

my dear friends

A Walk in the Park

A bit of blue sky and sunshine

perfect for an afternoon walk

at Lake Sacajawea

~

The Changing Light

For just more

than the blink of an eye

Mt St Helens

glows

in afternoon light

~

Walking the Wetlands

Summer or winter

or the in between

I'm drawn to the wetlands

at dusk

~

Winter Green

While walking amongst

the sleeping trees

my heart always smiles

when sparkles of green

can be seen

~

The Calm

Storms are lined up

far out to sea

 transforming the calm

into calamity

~

Old Growth Glory

Majestic Graceful

and very Huggable

~

Wisps of Wonder

I was enchanted by

the swirling fog

as it grew

in the evening sky

~

Sunset Silhouette

When

stillness prevails

~

Through the Trees

In winter it can be seen

what's hidden

by summer green

~

Billowing

I love watching fog

    as it billows and blooms

~

Transparent Reflections

Reflections seen

     transparently

~

Stormy

And then

the winds came

~

Nestled

 Trees that once were

now make cozy homes

for tiny secret gardens

~

A Family Affair

Tucked away

in the cranny of an old tree 

is a lovely little family

of mushrooms

~

Setting Sun

Sunsets

  soothe the senses

and the soul

~ 

UFO Over the Cascades

Actually

it was a lenticular cloud

above the Cascade Range

with Mt St Helens

showing off her snow covered

volcano made

flat top

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Island in the Sky

Floating

neither here nor there

As if in a dream

~

Ice Art

 Beautiful Ice Creations

by Mother Nature

Near Mt St Helens

~

Watching the World Go By

Simple pleasures

Rose colored glasses

not needed to see them

~

The Changing Landscape

The Cascade Mountains

 in their winter wear

~

Vestiges of Autumn

 So short

So sweet

So quickly overshadowed

 by Winter

~

In the Thick of Things

The incredible greens

of a coastal rainforest

~

Snow Covered Mt St Helens

 

Blast Zone

Huge area devastated by the eruption

It is mending well

~
