Spring Green
Last month we had tantalizing glimpses of spring and I puttered in the yard, snipping and trimming and straightening up the garden, even planting a new rose, Ketchup and Mustard – I refuse to give up on roses. The birds were out and about… Continue Reading “Spring Green”

Rainy Day at Redondo Beach
Saturday started out clear and (mostly) sunny. We were desperate to get out of the house after a long, rainy week, so we headed to Redondo Beach in Des Moines (the one in Washington not Iowa.) But the sunshine was fleeting and by the… Continue Reading “Rainy Day at Redondo Beach”

Fun with Photo Edits and Apps
I don’t usually do a lot of editing on my photos, save for resizing and watermarking them in Lightroom. But for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge #Photo-Edits I thought I’d use the simple (and free) tool that came with my Samsung Galaxy phone, Gallery.… Continue Reading “Fun with Photo Edits and Apps”

Come with Me for a Walk in the Redwoods
I don’t know how many times I’ve been to the Redwoods – six or eight times? – but regardless, it’s not enough. A perfect road trip down the coast of Oregon to Northern California takes you there easily and scenically from Seattle. Once there,… Continue Reading “Come with Me for a Walk in the Redwoods”

Monday, Monday and rain is falling here in the Pacific Northwest. Though I was looking for red and pink for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge, I firstly found raindrops on green. Fortunately, the green was surrounded by red berries, and even the droplets contained… Continue Reading “Looking for Red and Pink on a Green and Rainy Day”

Birdwatching at Coulon Park
I went for a walk at Coulon Park on a gray and cloudy day. A Crow was also out for a walk, and startled when I took his picture; I assured him I was on his side. Another bird landed in a distant tree… Continue Reading “Birdwatching at Coulon Park”

Favorites in Aquamarine – From my Travels
Who doesn’t love aquamarine? Not me, but it’s in short supply here in the Pacific Northwest during the rainy winter months. So for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge, # Aquamarine I went looking in my archives and found it in my travels. I’ll start with… Continue Reading “Favorites in Aquamarine – From my Travels”

Traveling 2023 – A look back at our Comings and Goings from Seattle
A strange title perhaps, but I wanted to reflect on our travels in 2023 in a particular way. Because as much as I love traveling, I find my hometown of Seattle to be more beautiful than any place I visit. So I thought I’d… Continue Reading “Traveling 2023 – A look back at our Comings and Goings from Seattle”

Nature Bests the Winter Lights at Coulon Park
Don’t you just love the unexpected? Last Saturday I went for a walk at Coulon Park to see the Winter Lights. I was there late afternoon, waiting for the lights to come on after sunset, which was to occur at 4:18 p.m. It was… Continue Reading “Nature Bests the Winter Lights at Coulon Park”
