An Iridescent Kind of Morning
Okay I borrowed the word from an Instagram challenge but I thought it fit this morning’s sunshine in the garden. Yes the bike is part of the garden. I had to laugh when I found it planted there by my husband a few years… Continue Reading “An Iridescent Kind of Morning”

Looking for White
For this week’s Sunday Stills Photo Challenge I went looking for white and found it.. in the clouds in the waves in the falls and of course, in the snow. ~ Susanne

Good Morning Moonshots
This morning I woke early – too, too, early – could it be the cats wanting out at 4:00 and back in again at 5:00? I made my coffee and went to my office and saw the moon shining through the window. I’m already… Continue Reading “Good Morning Moonshots”

Winter Walk into Spring at Lake Wilderness
The snow has come and gone, replaced by wind and rain. But yesterday there was a break in the weather and we headed to Lake Wilderness starting out at the Arboretum where bulbs were blooming and trees were budding. We took a path through… Continue Reading “Winter Walk into Spring at Lake Wilderness”

The Promised Snow Has Finally Arrived
It started with a fury overnight – tiny flakes of ice blown sideways. It’s falling still – larger and softer – more gently but determined – blanketing everything in white. The hummingbirds waited patiently while I brought them fresh nectar; I’d forgotten to bring… Continue Reading “The Promised Snow Has Finally Arrived”

Blue Skies and Eagles before the Snow
Snow is in the forecast – promises promises. It only arrives when it’s unexpected. When I worked downtown this was always the case. The snow would begin to fall in the afternoon leaving the city surprised. We left work early and roads would be… Continue Reading “Blue Skies and Eagles before the Snow”

Nature’s Fallen at Rialto Beach
For this week’s Sunday Still’s Photo Challenge I remembered the fallen at Rialto Beach. We first discovered Rialto Beach on a trip to Olympic National Park in 2017 and it instantly became my favorite. Wild and remote, it’s littered with fallen trees and logs.… Continue Reading “Nature’s Fallen at Rialto Beach”

Incredible Landscape of the Canadian Rockies
It’s hard to find as much beauty mile for mile – or should I say kilometer for kilometer – as you will find in the Canadian Rockies. Indeed the travel bug has hit again and assuming Covid is contained and we no longer are… Continue Reading “Incredible Landscape of the Canadian Rockies”
