I'm a free spirited aging hippie
who loves talking to flowers, chasing rainbows
and photographing all the beauty that surrounds us
Thanks for taking a peek into my little world

Hints of Change

Days shorten
Summer recedes
With hints of Autumn
Sprinkled in the trees

The Heavens Opened and it Rained

A steady glorious rain!
Though it won't end our drought
or douse our many wildfires
it's a start!

that brings purity to mind

Passing By

I look up and
for one brief moment
I see
a forever friend
I may never get to meet
On a train
passing by

Chasing the Light

Late afternoon light is greeting us earlier
with each passing day
  Mt St Helens
was quickly falling into shadow

On Angel's Wings

My heart is heavy with sorrow
Major wildfires are raging out of control
throughout Oregon and Washington State
Homes have been destroyed
Lives have been lost
with no end in sight
We are in dire need
of a miracle

On a Quiet Morn

I watched
as the ripples and swirls
overcame the calm
in the morning light
of a new day's dawn

a book to read
and a bit of shade 
A perfect way to spend 
an afternoon

Walking the Shoreline

The shoreline of volcano made
Coldwater Lake
always intrigues me
Among the rocks and drifts of wood
little  treasures of man can sometimes be found
Yesterday I found a timeworn
penny

Immense power

I love trains!
