Vineyards and Orchards

...next to the Columbia River, Eastern Washington

looking across at Eastern Oregon.



 A Flower Exploding!

A flower for Laura

Looking Chipper

He seems to be smiling!

Hey!  Where'd Everybody Go?

Just Hanging Out Together

Among Us

Softly glowing, caressed by ferns, even in the dark

there is life.

Monday Is Memorial Day

Out Of Place, Out Of Time

This little mission-style church is closed now,

but still stands proudly--waiting.  Not enough priests,

not enough money, not enough people.

California?  New Mexico?  No---

 Winlock, Washington.

Just Plain Cute!

Gotta love chipmunks!

Waltzing In The Moonlight

Well, it's really the sunlight, but somehow 

moonlight seemed more poetic. 

And Finally...

Here's one last shot from last Saturday, 

the 34th anniversary of the Mt. St. Helens eruption.

34 Years Later

Saturday was a perfect day to walk the wetlands

and think about how much has changed since

Mt. St. Helens erupted.  

Mama Red Wing... 

...in the lily pads

Bovine Bliss

A Window Into The Past

Fresh May Green...

...in the forest light and shadow, last Sunday

at Seaquest State Park.

Back Porch Blues!

...and greens

Out From Behind The Horsetails

...orchid-like wild bearded iris glowing 

I'm Late!  I'm Late!

It's May!

And the water plants are glorious!

Chipmunk Glowing In The Sun

Go Ahead, Take A Chance

The Wall

A wall of darkness and light, 

deep in the forest...

Ship Supply Service

Rusting, leaning, but still there--
 by the dock in the once busy river port of Cathlamet.

Barge Pushers

On the Columbia

Sunset Over The Wetlands

Another look, more to the east, 

at the sunset shower clouds over the wetlands.
I love the way the showers in the distance show up.

New And Fresh

Dark corners made light with fresh green 

and busy little waterfalls...

A Twilight Crow...

tattling, telling tales
...informing on us
