A Bounty of Bluebells

We seem to have an overabundance

of Bluebells this year

Growing wild

 in the woods across the way

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

In a meadow

high on a hill

Away from the things of man ~

Obstacle Course

Elves go under

Fairies fly over

And we mortals

find a way around

Humming With Life

Forming and transforming

The wonder of it all ~

Down on the Farm

A once was farm ~

Sadly so many have gone to seed

Even their cool rides

now sit idle

Sunny and 75

2 days in a row . . .

Warm Breezes Faintly Scented

I feel an afternoon nap

Dream Tree

Dreams are little capsules

of hope

of love 

and of adventure

Never stop dreaming

Stop Look and Listen ~

I love these spur of the moment

grab the camera

leap out of the car

and click click click . . .

And actually manage

to get something recognizable

even kinda cool ~ 

Camellia Commotion

Our camellia bush is overflowing with blooms

its laden branches bending to the ground

It must be this rainy yet mild weather

we've been having ~

Moss Laden

 Along the Toutle River ~

The up-rooted stump was a victim

of the 1980 eruption

of Mt St Helens

A monster debris flow devastated the river

  Now slowly returning to its peaceful beauty

Stormy Weather

Our unsettled weather continues

The sky has been so dramatically beautiful

it's impossible to complain ~

Unfurling Beauty

 

I fell in love

with this little flower

Just the way it is

Dairy Farm of Yesteryear

Sitting vacant and looking sad

 this old dairy farm

has seen better days

But was way fun

to gingerly explore

Purity

There's nothing like

the pureness of white ~

A wonderful barn

we wandered on

With some serious character ~

Softly Growing

Deep in the forest

lush with green

a tiny pink wildflower

steals the scene

Have a Beautiful Easter ~

May the sun shine brightly

on your Easter bonnet ~

Clouds through a Gate with a Cow

After a deluge of rain

( well a mini deluge )

the clouds parted

( sort of )

So I took a late afternoon

 walk up the lane

( and hardly almost didn't get wet )

It was grand !

First Bloom

Our Camellia is chock-full of buds

with one lonely bloom

Not to worry , little flower

 An explosion of companions

is coming soon

Mt St Helens ~ At the Crater

Woke up to a lovely surprise . . .

sunshine !

So I decided to take a drive up Spirit Lake Hwy

to visit my favorite mountain

The snow was wildly dancing

to the tune of the howling winds

It was beyond beautiful

I was doing my happy dance ~

True Beauty Comes With Age

Open Open Open

It's been downright soggy here

the ducks are loving it

I'd love a wee bit

of sunshine

Floating ~

In a sea of tranquility

Patience is . .

It's been raining buckets

with just glimpses of blue to entice

But patience is a virtue

So

this persistent rain will only 

make for a more glorious Spring

. . When it decides to finally

truly gets here

Showers will bring the flowers ~

Seeing Green

I love the color

green ~

I hope your week is going well

Rain is in the forecast for the rest of our week

but then it was also in today's

and we had blue skies and puffy white clouds

with not a drop of rain

~ and for soggy Washington State

that's always a welcome treat !

It's a Daffodil World

They're everywhere

being sunshiny

It's starting to look a lot

like Spring

Doing the happy dance !

What Was . . . Once

Happy Sunday !

What a Difference a Day Makes

We enjoyed the glorious sunshine

As rain is expected for the next several days

But that's why I love

the Pacific Northwest ~

Hope you have a wonderful weekend !
