A Walk through Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge
Not the river itself of course but the town named after the river. Last month – before the latest round of lockdowns went into effect – we spent the night in Hood River. Getting there was the best part – traveling the Historic Columbia… Continue Reading “A Walk through Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge”
The Bluest Skies You’ve Ever Seen
Are in Seattle – sang Perry Como. He was talking about this week. The first five days of December – rain-free, for the record books. Spent a day at Lincoln Park – where sea and sky merged blue, save for the peaks – the… Continue Reading “The Bluest Skies You’ve Ever Seen”
Textures of Puget Sound
In response to this week’s Sunday Still’s photo challenge I went looking for textures and found them on the shores of Puget Sound. Bob wanted to practice fishing – fly fishermen are always testing new equipment and techniques – while I would wander and… Continue Reading “Textures of Puget Sound”
Rewards of a Rainy Day Walk, Harbor Seals and a Rainbow!

Ice Cream Coming and Going
We managed to escape to the Columbia River Gorge for a few days where we traveled the old scenic highway on the Oregon side, stopping every few minutes to take in the magnificent roadside waterfalls, which I will share with you in a coming… Continue Reading “Ice Cream Coming and Going”
Golden Hour Over San Francisco Bay
We cruised into San Francisco stealthily, passing by the Rock in darkness where inmates sleep in tourists’ dreams. The sky was red and gold till sunrise – the spell was broken. A reminiscence – for Six Word Saturday. ~ Susanne
Traveling the Cascade Loop – Winthrop, Leavenworth, The Enchantments, and Tumwater Canyon
After crossing the North Cascades, with stops at Diablo Lake and Liberty Bell Mountain, I wondered if it could get any better. It did. We spent the night in Winthrop, a small western themed town, then continued south to Wenatchee – the Apple Capital… Continue Reading “Traveling the Cascade Loop – Winthrop, Leavenworth, The Enchantments, and Tumwater Canyon”
