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

By the Sea

Squalls and gale force winds
filled with the salt of the sea
Winter at the coast
I drink in
with childish delight

Suncast shadows
and windswept snow
The Cascade Range

Frosty

The hills that tuck us into our little valley
glow in a covering of frost

Glowing in the Shadows

Hiding in the crevice
of a hollowed out tree
these little cuties
glowed bright
as can be

Above the Fog

The fog rolled in so fast
Spirit Lake Hwy
became impossible to navigate
but it was a breathtaking sight

Near fog shrouded Mt St Helens

Last Light

On these short winter days
the sun hurries so to set
with little time to bid it
goodnight

On a Far Shore

 A far away shore
 in mind and in dream
 peaceful and serene
 an island
alone
that someday
I will wander
~

Saturday, December 10

On a Hillside

Up the lane
in a field
on a hill
lives my favorite tree
Through all the seasons change
it beckons me
to walk the lane
to take the time to just be
to simply talk with me
~

to this little waterfall
on a nearby river
to sit and listen
to its peaceful singing sound

Endless Beauty

The vastness
unending in its beauty
can bring a peaceful quiet
and wash away
our sorrows
