Sun Going Down

A perfect time

for walking the trails

at Seaquest

~

Nature Made

 

 

A little bit

of different

~

September Morn

When stillness fills the air

and the lake lies

silky smooth

 

Coldwater Lake

~

September Skies

Peace Harmony

dreams elusive

I pray they someday be

our reality

~

Shapes and Shadows

 

 

Rusty style

~

Autumn Leaves

Begin to fall

~

Autumn Joy

The lake reflects

leaves

golden and red

 I love this time

of year

~

First Light

Blue hues

of morning light

over the Cascades

~

Vast and Empty

The ocean shore 

 as summer comes to a close

 ~

Overflowing

A pocketful

of seeds

~

 

Under a Quirky Sky

Stormy sunset

kissed

with a twist

~

Attic Treasures

High and low

I love

exploring

~

By the Sea

Playing in the dunes

Washington Coast

~

Changing Seasons

Long shadows

cool crisp nights

the crackle of fallen leaves

beneath our feet

 Autumn is in the air

~

The Vastness

Never ceases to be

awe-inspiring

~

Strength and Beauty

Embraced by a sea of green

always makes my heart sing

~

Serenity and Joy

Stacking stones

can bring joyful peace

~

The Power of the Sunflower

I smile easily

but when I see a sunflower

I smile even more

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Gone With the Wind

Little feathery puffs that

  in the clear blue sky

like to fly

~

Blissful

Speechless

peace

~

Vestiges of Summer

Simple beauty

is everywhere

~

Exploring

Life's

  many paths

~

The Last Rose of Summer

I'll miss your perfect beauty

and your scent so sweet

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Wonder Land

Coastal Rainforest

So lush and green

so full of life and wonder

~

Deep in the Forest of Odd

I love this dense forest

of tall slender trees

  its canopy far above

~

Remnants and Reminders

Blown down and shattered

where new life abounds

 

 Blast zone

1980 eruption

 of Mt St Helens

~

Early Light

Gently lighting

the twilight shadows

~

River Art

Designed

by nature

~

On the Vine

The breeze

played with the light

which danced across the shadows

~

A Lust for Rust

 

 

Remnants of yesteryear

all rusty and worn

have many tales

  yet to be borne

  ~

I Touched the Sky

I reached up high

I touched the sky

~

Swan Lake

At the ballet

~

Shimmering Softly

in the early morning light

 

I hope you have

a beautiful weekend

~

Wandering the Back Roads

East of the Cascades

has a beauty all its own

~

 

Whispering in the Wind

I paused to listen

to their ode

to summer's end

 ~

Late Summer Color

Days are getting shorter

Here in the Pacific Northwest

Autumn is in the air

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Tell Me

Where have you sailed

What have you seen

What adventures have you beheld

~

Pathways

Life's paths

ought be filled

  with wonder

~

Daintily Dangling

in pale pastel

~

In the Morning Twilight

Dawn

over the Cascades

~

The Dance

in the quiet light

of dusk

~

Serenity Violently Created

Coldwater Lake

  born from the eruption of Mount St Helens in 1980

its banks still littered with

blown down trees

~

Bold Beauty

Lighting up the shadows

  ~

Morning Has Broken

With a wisp of mist

still in the air

Over the

Toutle Mountain Range

~
