Well, that’s just Peachy!

I went looking for tan and peach in my garden, it wasn’t easy to find. Most everything is green, including my garden shed, though you do see Bob’s decorations in tan. I managed to find peach in the one nasturtium blooming. I get far… Continue Reading “Well, that’s just Peachy!”

It’s Gotta be Licorice

If it’s on the menu, it’s my first choice, much to my husband’s chagrin. It turns my lips, tongue and teeth not black exactly, but a strange purple or green. ‘You can walk ahead of me, dear, if it bothers you.’ It’s always on… Continue Reading “It’s Gotta be Licorice”

Bird Photo Fun – Looking for Red in Squares

Heavenly Sunshine!

The Sun is a gift to earth’s inhabitants, enjoyed by us who are 93 million miles away! In the morning it rises and we bask in its rays, even when we can’t see them. We rush to watch its setting, too, and the spectacular… Continue Reading “Heavenly Sunshine!”

Is this Washington’s Best Hike?

You decide. Start at the Paradise Visitor Center and take the trail to Myrtle Falls. Then leave the crowds behind and keep on going, up, up, up! Past the 6,400 elevation mark you’ll enter the land of polished rock and wide-open skies; if you’re… Continue Reading “Is this Washington’s Best Hike?”

Back in the Pink

Last week at this time I was pretty miserable with whatever’s going around (I haven’t been that sick since covid.) But I’m finally back ‘in the pink’ so I’m here with a gallery to celebrate. Sharing with #SundayStills, Pink. That is all. ~ Susanne
