In the Company of Ferns

 

 

 

Being a rainforest

ferns grow 

  with wild abandonment

Sharing with Sweet Shot

If

If doors could talk

what tales be told

Of shelter offered

the wet and the cold

to weary travelers

both young and old

Rust on the Diagonal

 

 

Rust

intrigues me

Sweet Columbine

We've reverted our far garden

giving it back to nature

Wildflowers have found

a new home

So Many Raindrops

 

falling from the sky

oh my

On the Vine

Blossoming beauties 

  adorning

 the grapevines

Powder Puff Pink

 The  power

of pink

Where Magic is Made

Sit quietly

and you may see

fairies and sprites

amongst the trees

White Delights

Among the many blues

  a few white

Lily of the Valley

bloom

Pondering the Wandering

As this mass of power

rumbled by

 

I noticed the last car's door

partly open

and for one brief moment

  my mind's eye

rode the rails

Simple Pleasures

 

From the Divine

are simply

divine

Spring Rains

Our little local

waterfalls

are abundantly flowing

A rose is a rose

 

The bell ringer

and gardens

Everywhere

Sharing with Floral Love

 

The Forest Beckoned

Between the rains

 with a little bit of sunshine

that came our way

 and the air

filled with freshness

we  walked

~

A Cotton Candy Sky

An extra little treat

to bid us

good night

Quietly Rusting

Like an old photograph

this dock remains unchanged

its occupants quietly

rusting away

Nature's Brilliance

Spring's colorful abundance

 

never ceases to amaze

May it be filled

Brightens even a cloudy day

in plain sight

They make me smile

A River Returning to Health

About a mile from home

is the Cowlitz River

named after a local Native American tribe

 

Old pilings

 

Devastated by the eruption

of Mt St Helens... in 1980

the river is slowly returning

to its former glory

Painting the Camellias Pink

 Flower playtime

Wildflowers Are ...

Little gifts

from heaven

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Beauty is Everywhere

and in everyone

For Robert

Signs of Spring

The late afternoon light

made these tiny pink pretties

pop
