Rhapsody in the Clouds
Clouds. If you live in the Pacific Northwest it is likely that you have seen them, perhaps more often than you wish. But have you really seen them? Tonight I looked up and found them awesome and full of splendor. So the next time you… Continue Reading “Rhapsody in the Clouds”

Awakened by Chain Saws
It’s the beginning of the end for the Tiffany Park Woods. The logging has begun. Honestly I didn’t venture into the woods often though others did: neighbors, dog walkers, and boys playing army. I suspect most of these grew up in the neighborhood and knew the woods like an… Continue Reading “Awakened by Chain Saws”

Road Trip to Wenatchee
One thing I like about living in Washington State is its diverse geography. Here on the west side of the Cascade Mountains you can easily see why Washington is called the Evergreen State with its thick stands of Douglas fir, mossy temperate rainforest and plenty of rainfall. But… Continue Reading “Road Trip to Wenatchee”

The Tree
Tonight before sunset I visited one of my favorite trees in the park nearby and found it standing proudly against the clouds. Looking forward to a change in the weather after a week of too hot and dry. ~ Susanne

The Faithful Ones in the Early Spring Garden
Under a light rain I venture outside to the spring garden and admire the faithful flowers blooming there. These are the ones who really do bloom where they are planted, requiring little if any assistance from me. I planted the Clematis a few years ago… Continue Reading “The Faithful Ones in the Early Spring Garden”

The Mountain in our Midst
Always there though not always visible, tonight’s walk at Gene Coulon Park yielded these views of the mountain in our midst ~ Mt. Rainier. Happy to be living in the Pacific Northwest. ~ Susanne

After the Rain
After the promised high temperatures enjoyed their run for little more than 24 hours, they left abruptly and thunder and lightning and heavy rain took their place. We sat inside, watching and listening, occasionally poking our head out to see the jagged spires light up the sky. After… Continue Reading “After the Rain”

Sunset on a Sunny Day
After months of rain here in the Great Northwest we were promised two seventy degree days in a row. The first arrived this afternoon and we reached the promised temperature. I knew we would likely have a fabulous sunset and so I headed to Gene Coulon Park… Continue Reading “Sunset on a Sunny Day”
