Mount Saint Helen’s
After going through my photos from the trip I took during Fall 2017, I have to say: the day spent at Mt. Saint Helen’s in Washington state was magical for me. FYI, this post is completely out of sync with the rest of the trip blogs. If you’re visiting the park, don’t be fooled by…

House on Fire and Hovenweep
Almost too much beauty – all in the same day! Thank goodness photographs allow one to take in the scenes at a leisurely pace again and again. The little house and granary on the blog header was perched on the side of a canyon, protected by a large slanted, smooth rock porch. We slogged through the sand at…

California Fly-by’s

Death Valley and beyond
Open on a big computer with good internet signal, if possible! Please me know if this post was too long (took too long to open all these photos). Three weeks ago and then two weeks ago, I traveled to Death Valley for half-day trips (it’s only 2 hours from me). The intent was to photograph…

Writing 201: Poetry, Fingers
Keys on a piano, a clarinet, a typewriter, a computer keyboard all played by my fingers. Fingers that sewed a sampler when baby brother was born Fingers that learned too early how to sew baby blankets Fingers that entwined curls on a curly-headed daughter, now comb her curly-headed daughter. Struggling with words, shy, bashful, unsure, Can…
