Welcome October!
We were walking in a park near our home today when a dozen *eagles came from nowhere and soared overhead, on a mission to somewhere. The most I’ve seen in the sky at once – though I couldn’t capture them all on my phone… Continue Reading “Welcome October!”

Volcanoes through the #Window – From Seattle to Hawaii
A few weeks ago, we left Seattle for the Big Island of Hawaii and as usual I had the window seat. (Thanks, dear.) It’s always wonderful to see Mt. Rainier looming above the surrounding landscape. Did you know Mt. Rainier is an active volcano?… Continue Reading “Volcanoes through the #Window – From Seattle to Hawaii”

Fall in the Great Northwest – at Lincoln Park with a Blast from the Past
As much as I LOVE Hawaii – and in many ways wish I was still there – I’m happy to be back in the Pacific Northwest for the changing of the seasons and the beauty of fall. There was a chill in the air… Continue Reading “Fall in the Great Northwest – at Lincoln Park with a Blast from the Past”

Don’t Miss Oahu’s Windward Coast!

Yellow and Orange at Soos Creek and Hawaiian Sunset

Postcards from Kona
Greetings from the Big Island of Hawaii! First of all, isn’t it grand that Hurricane Kiko decided to weaken and move northwest? We haven’t seen a hint of trouble here. Second, I didn’t necessarily plan to blog on vacation, but I don’t see the… Continue Reading “Postcards from Kona”

Time and Again – at Cooper School
I’m hopelessly nostalgic, so when September arrives so do childhood memories of schoolgirl days at Frank B Cooper School. The building is still standing in West Seattle as sturdy as the last century, though it has been converted into the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center.… Continue Reading “Time and Again – at Cooper School”

Rainy Day in Paradise
We’d been in a heat wave for several days and were looking for a place to cool down. We found it in Paradise, on Mt. Rainier. We didn’t mind the rain as there were fewer people on the trail to Myrtle Falls. I wore… Continue Reading “Rainy Day in Paradise”
