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

they served a pasture well
now forgotten
they rust away
into the past

with downed and splintered trees
at Mt St Helens

yet will not fade
 in our memories
