Seaside Dreams

And abstract wishes

Revitalizing

Wandering

the Oregon Coast

~

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

~

Winter Blues

Hues of blue

color our overcast days

of winter

~

Simplicity

Time

to take time

~

Christmas Greenery

Unadorned

beauty

~

Christmas Joy

To all my dear friends

over all the world

Merry Christmas

~

Happy Little Pinecone

They look so cheery

especially this time of year

The Beautiful Cascades

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

~

A Little Bit of Sunshine

Reflecting on inner

 sunshine and light

~

Vestiges

Seasons change so swiftly

flowers fade

days shorten

snow falls

flowers bloom

~

Rushing Waters

Rapids in 

our little creek

~

Hues of Blue

Clouds cast a wintry blue

over the wetlands

~

Winter Has Arrived

A little bit early

~

Peeking Through

And within moments

that little window closed

hiding from view

Mt St Helens

~

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

~

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

~

Fluffy Feather Fantasies

Snowing on our little hill

staying home

staying warm

playing

~

Quiet Before the Storm

Snow is predicted

our street rarely gets plowed

such is country living

~

Remnants of Autumn

Winter comes calling

chasing autumn away

~

Rainy Days and Mondays

A time to

sit by the fire

and doodle

~

Trickling Waters

I often wander

to this little waterfall

on a nearby river

to sit and listen

to its peaceful singing sound

~

Wandering the Dunes

Seagrass and sand

and the Pacific close at hand

a few of my favorite things

~

Beachcombing

Along the quiet shores

of Washington State

~

Sunset Over the Pacific

The land blends

into the twilight

while the sea alights

with vibrant color

~
