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

Parts and Pieces

In the bed of an old pickup
were parts and pieces
of another old vehicle
very neatly stacked
The late afternoon sun 
added intrigue
~
I've been quite ill of late
nothing serious
Hoping to get back to my normal routines soon

A storm was rolling in
off the Pacific 
 along the Columbia River

Smoothed by the Tides

Along the Columbia River
where there's a great deal
of tidal activity

They Come in Peace

Let's return the favor
Who knows

Flyby

Not a sound 
flutter or ripple
here then gone
   Just saying hi 
on the fly

Chasing Sunsets

And every once in a while
every now and then
I catch one

Somewhere

I turned
and there I saw
a fleeting rainbow
glistening in the wee bit of sunlight
Made me smile
like a child
from ear to ear

Stormy Day

The heavy rains let up
 as the sun found a tiny opening between clouds
to burst through
only to withdraw 
as the wild rains quickly returned 
along the Columbia River

Quietly Waiting

In dormancy
patiently waiting
for Spring

Winter Skies

Clouds
forever hide the skies
here in winter
So when the clouds part
even briefly
we rejoice

The Wheels of Times Past

Sitting idle now
 but oh
the stories they could tell

After a stormy day
the clouds briefly parted 
giving way to a gentle sunset

Pastel Dreams

 The quiet afternoon light
was magical
as I walked the wetlands

Into the Unknown

Now only ghost trains
ride these forgotten rails

Winter Glow

The low soft light of a winter sun 
dancing 
with an ocean breeze

Swaying in the Breeze

To feel the breath of Nature
to see its gentle sway
is one of life's
simple blessings

Winter Blues

Always busy
no time to really see 
Now 
I cannot but see
the magnificence of 
the ever changing light

Hidden Hollow

Up a road that follows a creek
there is a hollow
hidden from sight
and little known
The light is mystical and forever changing
with the weather
and time of day
I love it there as
it seems to have an energy
 all its own

In the Stillness

With Mt St Helens shining snowy bright
the wetlands sit quiet
taking its long winter's nap

melding into one

Winter Sunset

Sunsets are so much more dramatic
in the low light of winter
