    The day after Butchart Gardens (which was cloudy and rainy) we visited the Royal British Columbia Museum. This view of the Parliament Buildings was taken through the third story window of the museum. We worked our way through three floors of history of how the northwest was settled and saw wonderful examples of the First Nations who first lived…

    The photos in this segment of my Washington adventure should all be considered drive-bys. Being able to be a passenger instead of the driver in the car and then being on a ferry for two hours and forty minutes allowed me the leisure of not having to do anything but point the camera. My recent…

    If you’ve followed my recent posts, you know that this is my third trip to Death Valley in just over a month and the second trip was snow, so it hardly counts since  we didn’t actually cross the two mountain ranges to get into the valley. The park is close enough that visits in late fall, winter…

    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…

    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…

    The sun peeking over the horizon with gentle breeze rising Shines lightly on the bridge below the rocky ridge Who knew that this lonely road would bring me to this sacred lode of beauty unsurpassed to listen feel the fog on brow to christen The quiet is broken by coyote talk: gather the clan, melt…

    My ‘Journey’ from there to here. Today’s poetry exercise is a Limerick using alliteration – and no I’m not doing any of the rhymes about Nantucket! Journey From Chesapeake shores To N’awlin’s spicy tours Across massive Mississippi Desert shimmer oh so pretty To Pacific and great outdoors Link to WordPress

    I like to read poetry. Anyone close to me has probably experienced me reading a poem or two (and getting emotional doing it). I love Billy Collins (Poet Laureate of the United States 2001-2003), also Joyce Sutphen (Poet Laureate of Minnesota), both of whom write what I consider everyday poetry. Easy to understand, touching, some…
