Last summer on a walk with my Friend Lynn, we found this unexpected bed of gorgeous flowers tucked away near the wild forest streams. The colors were so vibrant and filled my eyes so vastly I had to share their beauty with you on this grey cold day.

This is a pretty photo. I can't wait till summer 2010 to see if I can go outside.
Yes, Patty used cloth diapers and for several years had to wash them in an older wringer Maytag washing machine. And hang them on a clothes lines to dry. She never used a disposable diaper. I don't think they were out.
Wow those are wonderful...do you know what they are I've never seen them before...not suprising I live in a desert the only volunteers here are weed. Have a great day Sissy Bea
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain

Lovely.
We need a bit of colour in the gray days we have been having in the northwest. However, it has been balmy compared to the rest of the nation.
Thank you for sending this lovely piece of summer. It's greatly appreciated!

Thanks for sharing! We've actually warmed up a bit here, but the rain is coming tomorrow.
Well, I'm cheered up now!
