Rainless in Seattle and the Orange Sun

Sunrise and Sunset on the Oregon Coast

I simply can’t let it go.  The Oregon Coast I mean.  Now that I’m home and unloading my pictures I see all that beauty again and so please bear with me, while I post a few more photos, this time focused on sunrise and sunset. Sunrise first at… Continue Reading “Sunrise and Sunset on the Oregon Coast”

The Tree

Favorite Hawaiian Island?

February Sky

Just before sunset tonight I took a brisk walk in the neighborhood and was reminded again of how much beauty there is in the ordinary everywhere.  I love to travel but if I wasn’t able to I’d be happy knowing that all of this exists outside my… Continue Reading “February Sky”

Tree and Sky at Sunset
