Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, Rain or Shine

We first discovered the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon, during covid. It was our first road trip in 2021, after we’d (mostly) been released from our quarantine and social distancing. Even though we were outside, we still wore masks. Fortunately, it was… Continue Reading “Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, Rain or Shine”

Take a Walk in the Park – at Gene Coulon Memorial Park

Did you know March 30th is #National Take a Walk in the Park Day? Well now you do! I myself only learned it today from #Sunday Stills which inspired me to create this post! Firstly, I pondered. 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”

White and Wonderful, Snow and Clouds

For this week’s photo challenge, Sunday Stills, #White I’ll look to the pure driven snow and the snow-white clouds for inspiration. No snow so far in Seattle this year, so I’ll use some photos from past year’s glories, accented with two of my favorite… Continue Reading “White and Wonderful, Snow and Clouds”

National Take a Hike Day

November 17th – who knew? I suppose that means I should be out hiking, but instead I thought I’d share pictures from a few hikes I went on this year in Washington State, my home. Early this spring we visited the northwest corner of… Continue Reading “National Take a Hike Day”

New York City in Monochrome, and Black and White

I’m still resting up from an awesome week in the Big Apple and going through my pictures to create more stories to tell you, in living color. But it’s not hard to imagine New York in black and white, so for this week’s Sunday… Continue Reading “New York City in Monochrome, and Black and White”

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”

Wild, Wild Webs and Their Inhabitants

For this week’s Sunday Stills challenge, I’m remembering the morning I went outside and saw this. And this, as if some teenage spiders had entered for sport and tp’d* the entire yard. I take less offense when they paper the trees with their webs,… Continue Reading “Wild, Wild Webs and Their Inhabitants”

Falling Leaves at Nolte State Park

Yesterday we took a walk at Nolte State Park through the woods, around Deep Lake. We love it any time of year, but especially during autumn. It was still mostly green, but there was a hint of color in the trees. Leaves are starting… Continue Reading “Falling Leaves at Nolte State Park”
