Colorful Cliffs

Autumn glow

on the way

to Mt St Helens

~

Sailing

I watch

as leaves catch the breeze

and sail across the sky

and I smile

~

Bashful Beauty

Buds and bloom

til the first frost

~

Red Swirls

Flowers still blooming

in our little town's

little garden park

~

The Colors of Autumn

Leaves

softly falling

as the trees

ready themselves

for their long winter sleep

~

Fallen Leaves

Clinging to

outstretched arms

glowing

in the autumn light

~

Rain Dance

Seeking sunlight

on a dark and rainy

day

~

The If Factor

If only I'd been there

if only I wasn't

if only I could

if only I did

We are too hard on ourselves

perhaps age helps tame that

perhaps that light finally goes on

and we see

we are

only we

and we do

our best

~

Afloat on Calm Waters

Tugged at by a gentle breeze

they sail

in the quiet hush

of afternoon

~

Disheveled Delights

Dahlias

brighten up

Autumn days

The Misty Moody Wetlands

I never tire of the

wetlands

and the simple beauty

found there

~

Cloudy with a Chance of Lily Pads

At the wetlands

chasing clouds

across the waters

~

Mountain View

Lakeside

watching a storm roll in

Mt St Helens

with freshly fallen snow

and a few lenticular clouds

~

Autumn Glow

Windswept

swirls

of orange light

~

Rainy Day Play

Rainy windy weather

perfect for

indoor playing

~

A Special Day

A singular flower

bouquet

for our special day

Happy Anniversary

my dear wonderful husband

of 35 years

~

Hidden Treasures

In our hearts

in our souls

lie treasures

to behold

~

Feeling Fall

It's that gentle change

where calmness prevails

even in inclement weather

Dreams of a Better Life

To look back and admire

their bravery

their strengths

and their belief

in themselves

~

A Bit of Fluff

There is such beauty

everywhere I look

~

Quiet Waters

As the sky

gently touches

quiet waters

the day

draws to a close

~

Lost in Time

There's an old barn

just down the road and

around the bend

where time stopped

a long time ago

~

Sweet Petite

Sweet Pea

soft delicate

fragile

yet growing strong

in the wild

~

The Pureness of White

Until the first frost

flowers still bloom

~

Rainy Days

Rain

I love the rain

It can cleanse the spirit

revitalize the soul

~

The Flutter of a Feather

Feathers can calm

with gentle persuasion

 as one floats by

let it take with it

your worries leaving with you

your dreams

~

Taking Flight

Flowers of yesterday

Seeds of tomorrow

~

Stairway to Dream

It's delicious to just

wonder

What lies ahead

~

Berries Aplenty

The trees are singing

with birds

snacking on the many

autumn berries

~
