Just a Walk in the Park with an old Canon
I love getting rid of ‘stuff,’ perhaps obsessively, so for the past few months, I’ve been on a decluttering mission. Unwanted items are disposed of, saved for garage sale, or taken to the Goodwill. Today, while going through some drawers, I came across my… Continue Reading “Just a Walk in the Park with an old Canon”
Is this Washington’s Best Hike?
You decide. Start at the Paradise Visitor Center and take the trail to Myrtle Falls. Then leave the crowds behind and keep on going, up, up, up! Past the 6,400 elevation mark you’ll enter the land of polished rock and wide-open skies; if you’re… Continue Reading “Is this Washington’s Best Hike?”
Treated to a Rufous, On her way North
Anna’s Hummingbirds visit my feeders year-round, male and female both dark green, the male especially handsome with his ruby red crown. But this weekend, I saw flashes of brown and rust on a first-time, smaller visitor, the Rufous Hummingbird. She was a beauty, though… Continue Reading “Treated to a Rufous, On her way North”
Bees on Blossoms of Lavender
I love this time of year, when the lavender begins to bloom attracting bees, which in turn, attract me. Bumblebees and honeybees are things of beauty with their fat, furry bodies, tiny legs and sheer wings. I watched them yesterday and snapped a few… Continue Reading “Bees on Blossoms of Lavender”

Shall I pick a national park? We… Continue Reading “Take a Walk in the Park – at Gene Coulon Memorial Park”
My Anna’s Hummingbirds
As temperatures continue to plunge, I’m taking extra care to keep the hummingbird feeders thawed out and replenished. That means remembering to bring them in at night and returning them first thing in the morning; otherwise they are frozen solid. My sweet little birds… Continue Reading “My Anna’s Hummingbirds”
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”
A Riot of Color at Coulon Park
Yes, indeed, it’s that time of year. Every few days, I’ve been visiting the park waiting for peak color to arrive. Arrive it did, yesterday. And yes, I dressed for the occasion. Can you guess what this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is? Yep, Leaves… Continue Reading “A Riot of Color at Coulon Park”
Don’t Look Now, But I’ve Been Tagged!
I love a good blog challenge, so when I was tagged by John Rieber, to participate in ‘Tag, you’re it,’ I gladly entered in! ‘What’s it all about?’ ‘Just answer the questions, ma’am, so folks can get to know you better.’ ‘Sure,’ I said,… Continue Reading “Don’t Look Now, But I’ve Been Tagged!”
Seven Colors of the Rainbow
Did you know there are seven colors in the rainbow? I guess I did, though I forgot the specifics until I began to look for sevens, for #SevenforSeptember. We don’t get many rainbows here in the Great Northwest though we do get lots of… Continue Reading “Seven Colors of the Rainbow”
