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

we are free
free to fly

Fairy Light

Frost in the morning light
glistened and glowed
at the wetlands

The Forgotten

So many pilings now stand forgotten
no longer used or needed
growing whatever will grow
in these small spaces
Along the Columbia River

Wetland Wonders

Atop a clump of reeds
way up high
a Water Fairy rested
on that warm sunny day
I sat quietly in total awe
until she flew away

Love Our Coastal Grunge

Winter is my favorite time
to be down at the
Oregon Coast

Weatherworn

Trees along the ocean shores
of the Pacific Northwest
often get battered by
winter storms

Sight Unseen

Hidden away
lies an old wooden bridge
by the side of a lake
deep in the wood

Serendipity

It was midday bright
but as we passed this bit of quietude
I just had to jump out of the car
and try to capture some of its charm

Ocean breezes
carried the morning mist
up along the hillside
Oregon Coast

Afternoon at the Lake

My computer freaked out
had to reinstall everything
Mind Melting
So a quiet afternoon
was much needed

Coastal Wonders

Tucked in a hollow
steps from the ocean
lives this small charming
bit of wetlands
unkempt unsoiled
left to be

Shadow Play

Long afternoon shadows
playing on calm waters

Timeless

I am drawn to peaceful places
where trees dwell
where all you can hear
is the whispering of the wind
where time stops
if only for a time

Quiet Along the Columbia

The Columbia River
was calling to us
on this sunny winter day
with volcano wounded
Mt St Helens

Hidden Lake

Years ago my wanderings
took me up a lonely back road
where I discovered this quaint little lake
Which to me
is magical

Winter Sun

A rare clear winter day
in the Pacific Northwest
Walked the wetlands just before sunset
Mt St Helens was all aglow
~

Above the Fog

On Spirit Lake Hwy
heading up to Mt St Helens
the deep valley below
hidden under a heavy blanket of fog

Foggy Wetlands

A cold and foggy New Year's Day walk
at the wetlands
My fingers numbed
my nose ran
and my lens fogged up
but always love our walks
~

Winter Walk

Wintry sunset
with fog rolling in
at the wetlands
