Sometimes

  A single leaf

has a world of stories

it yearns to tell

All we need to do

is listen

~

Somewhere in Time

When life was simpler

and so much harder

~

Sunset at Seaquest

A sunshiny day

makes my heart sing

~

Islands in the Sky

Silver Lake

adjacent to the wetlands

where we so often walk

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

 

Wind Blown Coastal Forests

Weather beaten

yet holding strong 

~

Coastal Grunge

It's there more than not

just part of   

Oregon Coast's charm

~

Keeping it Together

Old pilings

still holding strong

~

Free to Be

to set the mind

free

to dream 

to explore

to spread our wings

and soar

~

After the Storm

Small waterfall

tucked in and nearly out of sight

in the most amazing rainforest

on the Olympic Peninsula

 

( Oh and

it's my birthday )

~

Pale Moon Rising

in the deep blue 

sea of night

~

Stillness

Patiently waiting

for Spring

~

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Something Old .. Something New

Pilings stand like sentinels

of times long past

Where life

tenacious 

begins again

 

Columbia River

See Feel Create

Photography is an art form

it has a voice

it inspires us

to pause

  to interpret the world

in our own light 

~

Simplicity

and tranquility 

~

Love

to love

to be loved

  is a beautiful thing

Happy Valentine's Day

Dreaming Of Cows

romping 

in summer pastures

Rusty Stuff

 

 

I have a passion

for rust

Rolling In

Engulfing the mountain

~

Open Spaces

Pastureland

in our little corner

of the world

Light Play

Chasing the light

at low tide

 

Oregon Coast

Rolling Down the River

Lower Columbia River

Winter Sky

Over Mt St Helens

and the Toutle Valley

I've Taken a Fancy to Fog

Fog intrigues me

With its other-worldly

mystery and spooky charm

it captures the imagination

~

Silently Patiently

  waiting

for Spring

~

Quiet Before the Storm and a Whirly Swirly Funnel Thingy

Rolling in from the coast

along the Columbia River

 

And then there's this...

I spotted it a week or so ago

it's still there

just off the shoreline...

Are they draining the river

or perhaps Wonderland is down there

 ?

~

Shades of the Day

Afternoon light

 sweeping across the landscape

 

Mt St Helens and

Coldwater Lake

~

Wave Watching

One of my favorite

pastimes

~

In the Company of Fog

Visibility

when somewhere in the middle

is often somewhat obscured

 

Bridge to Puget Island

on the Columbia River

  ~

Misty Moments

I love the coast

when it's shrouded in mist

 Creating a magical mystical

moment in time

~

 

Color Me Green

In the shadows

of hill and dale

 where the sun strains to shine

the trees are all cloaked

in velvety green

~

Golden Glow

Sunset was dreamy yesterday

a gift we rarely receive in winter

~

Winter Medley

 

 

The colors

of winter

~

 

Once Upon a Time

 this old train trestle

had purpose 

today it quietly sits

as it slowly fades away

 

Looking across to the Oregon side

of the Lower Columbia River

~

A Gentle Touch

While forests sleep

in the deep of winter

ferns dance

~

All is Calm

The hushed sound

of winter

envelops the wetlands

where we walk

~

All Aglow

Mt St Helens Visitor Center

in last light

~

Duck Haven

Wetlands adjacent to

 the Columbia River

A perfect place

for ducks to play

~

Shine On

For one short moment

a heavenly light

shimmered through the trees.

 

Wishing you all

a wonderful weekend.

~

Mt St Helens

My favorite mountain

So lovely

even with its peak missing

~

Places to Go

So many wonders

to see

~

End of Day

Sunset

at Silver Lake
