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”

My first Square Tree
It’s an ordinary tree perhaps – if any tree can be called ordinary – but it was also striking against a clear blue sky and fit nicely into a square. “For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the… Continue Reading “My first Square Tree”

Dropping by with Wildflowers for Earth Day
I’ve been busy road tripping this month and haven’t had much time for photo challenges. So in between my travel posts I thought I’d share some wildflowers for earth day for Becky’s Squares and Sunday Stills from our road trip.
