Graceful Swallows in the Great Outdoors
I’ve always loved birds but became an avid birdwatcher after I picked up photography years ago. (To me, the zoom on a good camera, is even better than binoculars.) I see a great variety of birds in my own backyard: hummingbirds, chickadees, wrens, towhees,… Continue Reading “Graceful Swallows in the Great Outdoors”
A Walk in the Woods to Dungeness Spit
Last week we spent a few days on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, my home, the Evergreen State. We anchored ourselves in Port Angeles, so we could take the ferry to Victoria, B.C.- here – if you missed it. On our way home from… Continue Reading “A Walk in the Woods to Dungeness Spit”
Celebrating the Great Outdoors at Silver Springs at Mt. Rainier
For this week’s Sunday Sills Challenge, celebrating the #Great-Outdoors and #Water, I remembered a wonderful water feature we discovered back in our camping days at Silver Springs Campground.

There were boaters and… Continue Reading “Looking for Ducklings at Coulon Park”

Birds and Blooms – Busy as a Wren in my Garden
It was a busy week in the garden for the birds, though not for me and Benji – we preferred to watch. But back in the corner a family of Wrens have taken up residence in one of the nesting boxes on the shed.… Continue Reading “Birds and Blooms – Busy as a Wren in my Garden”
What’s in Today’s Garden?
It’s still early, but here’s what’s happening today: Lilacs are budding – just starting to bloom. It took years. My dear mother-in-law gave us this Lilac, and we transplanted it from our house in Seattle years ago. They don’t like to be moved so… Continue Reading “What’s in Today’s Garden?”
For the Beauty of the Earth – the Great and the Small
For this week’s Sunday Stills challenge and coming #Earth Day, I went through my archives to find some of the West’s most magnificent scenery. It wasn’t hard, except the whittling down to a few. I’ll start with the dramatic California Coast, at Big Sur,… Continue Reading “For the Beauty of the Earth – the Great and the Small”

Is there anything more wonderful than walking among fields of tulips? We did that yesterday at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon. It was marvelous. And just in case you didn’t get the message – Sharing one of my favorite places with… Continue Reading “Celebrating #Tulips at Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival”
