Blooming Beauties

Hydrangea

soft loveliness

~

On a Country Road

Old barn overgrown

and nearly forgotten

in the Willapa Hills

~

In the Garden Blue

Fabulous Foxglove

~

Happiness is

Flowers

bring lightness to all the day

lingering on

dusk til dawn

~

Free to Be

All the flower lovelies

growing free and wild

~

Away From the Madding Crowd

Coldwater Lake

below Mt St Helens

~

Elusive

So often shrouded in clouds

Mt St Helens

~

Dancing in the Dark

Swaying with the breeze

~

Heavenly Hostas

I love Hostas

with their many 

shades of green

~

Fading Light

Elusive last light

fading so quickly

into night

~

The Colors of Beauty

With our very wet Spring

flowers are blooming

in abundance

~

Daisy Daze

Daisies are happy flowers

their blooms simply

make us smile

~

Peaceful Sunday

With the passing of time I find

I've become so much more appreciative

of quietude and peacefulness

~

Roses of the Wild

Petite in pink

and too short lived

these wild roses grow

anywhere there's even the tiniest bit

of sunshine

~

Buddings

Foxglove

in waiting

~

Young and Old

Our old hotel chair

garden art I call it

adorned with young maple leaves

~

Pretty in Pink

The purity of softness

found

in a pink rose

~

Quiet Time

Warming their wings

in the late afternoon sun

~

Softness in the Wild

Wild Columbine

nature's more gentle touch

~

A Simple Flower

Can bring happiness

and joy

~

Wild Roses

On the edge of a pasture

of long ago

a rose bush unwavering grows

~

Euphoric

Such a heavenly scent

from such delicate flowers

~

The Blooming Wetlands

The water's edge

is alive with color

~

River Walk

Wandering trails along the

Columbia River

~

Keepsakes

Small shiny stones

pieces of twisted driftwood

and feathers

Whatever catches my eye

and fits in my pockets

comes home with me

~

May You Always Fly Free

May the wind be

at your back

and beneath your wing

~

Fleeting Beauty

The Lovely Daylily

Here for one brief moment

in time

~

Apple Blossom Time

Always late

always lovely

~

Sunshine On My Shoulders

When the skies cleared

the gardens filled

with soft afternoon light

~

Illuminating

Lovely in a shaggy sort of way

the wild rose

~
