Here She Comes!

 

 

The Sapphire Island rounding a bend

on the Columbia River

Grains Of Sand Aren't So Small

When you're a ladybug



November In The Wetlands

Soon

The Winter Storms

 

 

 



November Comes To

The Toutle Valley

 

The Dalles Dam

Nearing Sunset

 



Colder Surf

Sunset In A Dream

 



 

Stalking Clams

At Sunset 

 



 

A Perfect Time At The Beach

 

 

The weather was sunny and warm

as we celebrated our anniversary

Isn't it good to be with your

best friend!

 

 



 

Autumn!

 



You Shall Not Pass! 

 

 



So Many Abandoned School Houses

 

This one is in what used to be

Boyd, Oregon--

near the Oregon Trail

 



 

Still A Few Years Left...

 

 

A high plains barn

on Tygh Ridge



Glowing Rock

 



The Whole Universe...

 

 

 

...is really just lichen dancing on a rock

 

 



High Above the Columbia River

Our Stonehenge Is Nearly 100 Years Old

 



High Plains Schoolhouse

Long Forgotten

 



Perfect Silence

 

 

 



Going Or Coming?

This fellow appears to have a face

on his backside!



The First Day Of Fall

In the Forest



Tiny

But glowing!



It's Always Beautiful At

Coldwater Lake



Even a Dragonfly

can take the time to catch a few rays...



Oh Dear...

I do feel a bit lost this morning!



A Forest Wraith



Envy

Ready

Ready For The Flood

Wildflowers Finding Their Place

In The Columbia River



A Lover's Kiss



Peaceful Flowers

 

I Love Vineyards!

 

 

 

There's something peaceful and calming--even before

you drink the wine...



 

Hot and Dry

 

 



By Any Other Name...



 

Old And Mostly Forgotten

 

 



 

Mt. St. Helens

 

On A Summer Evening

 

 



Showing a Brave Face



Coal Creek

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon



Even When The Path

Seems The Same...

...we still need to see what's around the bend!



Red, Very Red...

Nature Paints

With Wildflowers

A Perfect Day

Mt. St. Helens, a stump from a tree blown over by the blast 33 years ago,

and an exquisite display of wildflowers. 

What more could you want?



Rest A Moment

And take the time to see...



New Grass and Old Rust
