Sun Rising over the Garden
This morning while I was waiting for my coffee to brew I noticed how beautiful the sun’s rays appeared over the garden. Tiger and Benji enjoyed it too. and told me so. ~ Good Morning from Susanne, Tiger and Benji
Crazy for Purple
Who doesn’t love purple? Not me for sure! So I went through some recent photos to share for this week’s prompt from Travel with Intent. I found these leaves on a hydrangea recently at Soos Creek Botanical Garden. I admit my own hydrangeas never…
The Earth in Layers at the Grand Canyon
We spent a few days at the Grand Canyon last year and got to experience its magnificent beauty from many angles at different times of day. The picture below was taken while the sun was rising near Mather Point. The next few pictures, which…

A Sunset Over Dinner
If you follow my blog you probably know by now how much I love sunsets. So here’s one from last night taken after our anniversary dinner at Redondo Beach on Puget Sound. It followed a few rainy days and so was a welcome sight…
Annual Coulon Color
I couldn’t resist dropping by Gene Coulon Park today to see the trees transformed into their fall glory. It never gets old. ~ Susanne
Walking into Fall at Coulon Park
September has been slow to relinquish summer and that’s fine with me. I’m enjoying the lingering sun and slow transformation of the leaves even as the days grow shorter. A slow walk into Fall at Coulon Park. ~ Susanne
After Yellowstone and a Trip Downtown
Back from vacation for a week now and I’m still trying to get into the groove. It’s a slow go. I’m plowing through pictures I took in that most beautiful National Park and enjoying them too but honestly, what shall I do with all…
