Chasing the Elusive Sunshine

We saw the sun today

it was a beautiful thing

~

Early Bloomers

Only a few

are trying to bloom

in our windy rainy weather

~

Afloat

The lovely lilypad

afloat in a sea

of Spring

~

Secret Places

In the hollow of an old tree

lives a tiny enchanted world

of  green

~

Birds on the Wing

I love feathers

I stuff my pockets full

of feather finds

They all once flew

up high in a sky

of blue

~

Rough Around the Edges

Old tired and worn

with many a tale

to tell

~

Shy

Peeking out

from behind

~

Beginnings

Saying hello

to Spring

~

The Geese Have Come Calling

Making their happy mating sounds

rather loudly

So nice to have them back

~

Homeward Bound

Crossing the Columbia River

on a rainy foggy

typical

northwest day

~

Fanciful

Color it Spring

~

Tide Rolling In

Small waves ripple

down the channel

as high tide rolls in

~

Ever So Quietly

Spring Awakens

~

In Waiting

Soon to be clothed

in Spring

~

A Girl Can Dream

. . . Of Spring

Moonlight Madness

Sometimes

magic happens

~

Long Ago

A train station once

lived here

a long time ago

~

Out East

On the east side of

the Cascade Range

lies

a different world

~

Rainforest Wandering

The forever drizzle

of our winters

invigorates the rainforests

creating an explosion

of color and life

~

Patterns in the Sand

Wave worn

neon lit

by the blue deep

of evening glow

~

Catching the Train

Watching it approach

full speed

feeling that rush of air

that power that strength

as it rumbles by

Exhilarating

~

Where Dreams Learn to Fly

Where sea and sky

meld to one

Where time begins

 its infinite journey

~

Gull Watching

They're everywhere

near water or landlocked

noisy and always begging

for a handout or two

but I must confess

they rather charm me

~

Inner Sanctum

My mind's eye world

in the third dimension

~

Of Sea and Sky

Daydreaming

while clouds played in the sky

and gentle waves danced upon the shore

Oregon Coast

~

Sharing with Through My Lens                                                                       

Wetland Wonders

The wetlands offer

little treasures 

everywhere

the eye can see

~

Thinking Spring

What better time

to think of Spring

than when

it's snowing out

~

Keepers of Seeds

Little fluffs of Autumn

where seeds

once dwelled

~

Nightfall

To reflect on

the passage of day

To dream of

new tomorrows

~

Down the Lane

It breathes that charm of welcome

that draws one in

to peek behind

yet leave not a single

footprint

~

Dancing Waters

Where fairies and friends

have Sunday picnics
