Swaying in the Summer Breeze

 

 

On a sleepy warm

July day

Country Road

Take me home

I Can Fly

I can fly

if I try

if I close my eyes

to see the sky

~

Listening to the Whispering Trees

For they are so much wiser

than we

~ 

Shipwreck

Maybe it has hidden treasures

~

Parts and Pieces

 

 

Looking for the abstract

in abstract places

~

Whirly Swirlies

 

 

Playing with flowers

this can get addictive  

~

Cloudy

Along the Columbia River

 I love cloudy days

A Bit of Rust

 

 

Fun with rust

Crafted by Nature

Eastern flank of crater

 Mt St Helens

Vegetation still struggles to take hold

 in the mountains of ash

Butterfly Morning

Wildflower

Remains of Yesterday

Once a homestead

now just the fence remains

~

Dainty Daisies

 

 Fields full of daisies

   delectably delightful 

~

Hiking About

I get euphoric

in a beautiful forest

 

To the right of that cliff

is this waterfall

 

 

It was well worth the climb

the misstep

and the bruises

that followed

( but I saved my camera

from destruction )

 

It was a perfect day

~

Buds and Blooms

A bloom a day

The beautiful

Daylily

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Off the Beaten Path

Took a side road

off a side road

off a side road

 

As I stood there in total bliss

I felt the earth start to shake

Out of the shadows

came great big Porky

To greet us

or eat us

we didn't hang around to find out

~

Watching and Waiting

Washington State

has the greatest number of UFO sightings

in the USA

 

When they finally land

I'll give them

a poppy

~

Peaceful Pastures

Discussing the days romping

and eating plans

~

Making Tracks

 

Watching trains roll by

on a warm summer's day

~

In Anticipation

 of the bloom

~

Wispy Whimsy

 Daydreaming

in abstract

~

Blowing in the Wind

Out with my sweet hubby

traveling the back roads

The day couldn't have been

more perfect 

~

Sunflower Power

Has the power

to bring sunshine

to cloudy days

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Rust and Roses

 

 

Delicate delights

intermingling with

 rusty rustics

~

Back to Nature

Where once this home stood proud

providing shelter

filled with love

it now sits quiet

as it slowly

returns to the earth

~

When Night Dances with Day

Somewhere

 in a dream

~

Oasis

A tiny little

island of green

~

Suddenly Summer

Filled with Flowers

Sunshine

and happy Bumble Bees

~

 

Sharing with Floral Love

What Time Forgot

Old dock

sitting idle

for decades

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Welcome Summer

May it be filled with

sunshine and laughter

~

Lonesome Town

Where the lonely

 hearts go

 

There is another side

another face to beauty

Where structure form

and age reign

It is everywhere

it surrounds us

It longs to be seen

~

Purity

Graciousness

Hope 

~

Misty

After an afternoon

of brilliant blue skies

the mist rolls back in

Along the Oregon Coast

( just south of Tillamook )
