Saying Goodbye to November
Today felt like the first day of winter, with frost on the ground and temperatures in the low thirties. Even so, we bundled up and took a walk at a nearby park, where crispy, fallen leaves were still everywhere on the ground. ‘Hey dear,’… Continue Reading “Saying Goodbye to November”

Cats in the Shadows
First there was Tiger, a handsome tabby, who helped me start this blog and even became my Avatar. We thought he was lonely, after he lost his brother, Shadow. So we got Benji, who’s been competing with him ever since. Till he finally overshadowed… Continue Reading “Cats in the Shadows”

Walking in the Shadows with the Squirrels
On our trip earlier this week, we visited a city park in the town of Lynden and walked under the shadow of big Cedars and Doug Firs. Nothing unusual about that. But I was surprised to see a couple of black squirrels playing in… Continue Reading “Walking in the Shadows with the Squirrels”

Windshield Art – Frosty Squares
This morning when I started my car, I saw lovely ice crystals on the windshield of varying shapes and sizes. These are extraordinary, I thought to myself, all the while realizing how very ordinary, they were. Works of art, I thought, so I explored… Continue Reading “Windshield Art – Frosty Squares”

Squares from Spokane – Remnants from a World’s Fair
I was born and raised in Seattle and have traveled extensively throughout Washington State. But I’ve only been to Spokane, Washington’s second largest city, a couple of times, usually on the way to someplace else. Sorry, Spokane. (Granted it’s a five-hour drive east.) So… Continue Reading “Squares from Spokane – Remnants from a World’s Fair”

A Nature Walk at Flaming Geyser
Sorry but you’ll be hard pressed to find a flaming geyser – its methane source petered out years ago, though tossing a match into the well, may get you a reaction (we didn’t have any.) But who cares with so much beauty surrounding you… Continue Reading “A Nature Walk at Flaming Geyser”

Surprised by Snow
I’ve wanted to drop by the SquareOdds challenge before it’s over but I’ve been hard pressed to find anything odd! But after our mostly balmy weather the last few weeks during which time I accomplished a bit of spring gardening, it seemed odd to… Continue Reading “Surprised by Snow”

The Odd Bird
It’s just an expression – like odd duck – odd ball – odd man out – but it seems to suit February, certainly an odd month! For starters, I can’t ever remember how many days it has! “Thirty days has September, April, June and… Continue Reading “The Odd Bird”

Perspective on the Green River Gorge
The Green River flows from Washington’s Cascade Mountains for 65 miles becoming the Duwamish River before emptying into Puget Sound. There are many places to enjoy the river but my favorite is from the one-lane bridge over the Green River Gorge. You get a… Continue Reading “Perspective on the Green River Gorge”
