October in Color
This beautiful fall day deserved a walk at Coulon Park, fish and chips at Ivar’s and basking in the fall colors. Don’t you agree? For (mostly) #WordlessWednesday. ~ Susanne
Happy Monday with the Hummers
The weather has definitely turned here in the Pacific Northwest and I’ll be seeing my hummingbirds at the feeders more often. This morning I stood in the shed nearby and watched this handsome Anna’s stop by to feed. Isn’t he lovely? 🙂 Happy Monday!… Continue Reading “Happy Monday with the Hummers”
A Forgotten View of Mt. Rainier – from Crystal Mountain
I was reminded by Facebook Memories that once upon a time we took the Gondola at Crystal Mountain. I’d heard of Crystal Mountain before but since I don’t ski, I’d never been there. But one day on a trip to Mt. Rainier, we saw… Continue Reading “A Forgotten View of Mt. Rainier – from Crystal Mountain”
Life is Better with Clouds
I love clouds. I suppose it’s a good thing as here in Seattle we get our fair share of them, though not lately. We’ve had a surprisingly lengthy dry spell this summer, so I’ve dug into my archives to find some special clouds to… Continue Reading “Life is Better with Clouds”
Waterfalls of the Snoqualmie River – Snoqualmie Falls, Twin Falls, and Franklin Falls

We love to stop by when we’re in… Continue Reading “Waterfalls of the Snoqualmie River – Snoqualmie Falls, Twin Falls, and Franklin Falls”
The Birds and the Bees in My Own Backyard

I seem to have… Continue Reading “The Birds and the Bees in My Own Backyard”
What do you see in the Woods?
I see trees that block the sun and swallow men. That lean and bend before they fall and are buried. I see trails guarded by monsters and camels, ready to give the weary hiker a lift. What do you see in the woods? ~… Continue Reading “What do you see in the Woods?”
Splish Splash Taking a Bath – Birds in my Garden
This week has definitely gone to the birds! After several days of record-breaking temperatures, I’ve been running the sprinklers in the early morning, which has drawn even more birds than usual. So, while I sit on the deck with my coffee and camera in… Continue Reading “Splish Splash Taking a Bath – Birds in my Garden”
Red Berries on a Rainy Day
Rain, rain, and more rain in the Pacific Northwest. Dismal. Dreary. Dampening. Disappointing. Even so, the berries offer the occasional bright spot, lighting up the yard. I shouldn’t complain. We’ve fared much better than the rest of the country, which has been hard hit… Continue Reading “Red Berries on a Rainy Day”
