Chasing Rainbows

Fleeting rainbows

we chased around

Coldwater Lake

Mt St Helens

The Gift

The Bearded Iris

Photography has given me

that unexpected gift 

of sight

Not just in passing

but stopping

and truly admiring

all things beautiful

~

Humbled

By all the many wonders

Mother Nature offers

~

A Tender Touch

Soft and sweet and tender

here

for a brief moment in time

~

Shelter From the Storm

A budding Water Lily

peering out from kinda almost under

at the stormy weather

~

I Heard the Dogwoods Whisper

Come stop a while

admire me

and photograph my beauty

I couldn't refuse

~

Just Resting

Upon two leaves

a petal rests

~

DayDreaming

Fields abundantly filled 

with intoxicating scent

brilliant color

and dreams to dream

~

Spring Green

I'm enamored

with nature's bounty

of springtime green

~

Chasing the Light

 Across hill and dale

and baby leaves

~

New Life

Water plants are

sprouting out

at the wetlands

~

A Little Bit Different

Petals and leaves

in abstract

~

Of Yesterday

Among the fresh new buds

of Spring

a few crisp golden leaves

of yesterday

remain

~

White as Snow

Rhododendrons

are bursting into bloom

I love them in

pure white

~

Broken Fences

Down our short road

that leads to nowhere

is an old pasture

with a worn and tired gate

It sits now unused

as it slowly

fades away

~

To Fly

I look to the sky

and dream to fly

away

up high

to feel the wind

beneath my wings

~

In Soft White

Among the bluebells

of blue

there's a scattering 

of white ones

Totally charming

~

Delightful Discovery

  Yesterday the Pink Dogwood 

were still in Winter Sleep

Today they Bloomed

into Spring

~

Basking in the Sun

Savoring those brief moments

when the sun finds its way through

our thicket of trees

~

Sharing with Through My Lens                                                                  

Hues of Blue

Bluebells

softly ringing in

the Spring

~

Picking Flowers

And having fun

playing with them

~

Awash in Wildflowers

 An explosion 

of Bluebells

are gracing our woodlands

Color me happy

~

Sharing with Through My Lens                                                                                  

Shining Bright

Tulips are simply

gorgeous

~

Dancing Waters

Sunshine playing

on the crystal clear waters

of Coldwater Lake

~

Sweet Pussy Willows

Glowing in the sunlight

such a beautiful sight

They always make me smile

~

Flight of the Feather

Drifting in a quiet breeze

softly downward 

it came to rest

~

In the Early Morning Mist

A gentle breath of air

tugged at the heavy mist

along the Columbia River

~

Paddling By to Say Hi

So nice to see the

Canada Geese returning

to the wetlands

~

Their Secret Place

Where pixies

love to play

then sliding deep into sleep

to dream

of their mellow yellow

hideaway

~

Sharing with Through My Lens                                                                                       

Rose Colored Glasses

To see beyond

to dream

fanciful things

of softness and stillness

and the peace

it brings

~
