You are Being Watched...


I've seen eyes in the skies for a long time.  I never said too much about them, because I was sure someone would think I was crazy.  (grin)  Then, years ago, driving near the Baskett Slough bird sanctuary, I caught this set of beaming eyes with my very first digital camera.


Working in my garden last summer, I looked up to find this set of eyes watching me over the shoulder of the next door neighbor's tree.


And finally, here is a set of scary tilted eyes I captured over the back fence.  Eeeek!

So if you ever feel you are being watched--you know, that prickly creeping sensation on the back of your neck--check to see if the eyes of the clouds are watching!

Happy Snap Apple Day!

Magic Lights


Our journey home from Spokane took us through Oregon's great Columbia Gorge.  My husband and I took our time, stopping frequently.  Just as the sun was setting we decided to pull off at a small park neither one of us had been to before.  The late sunshine slanted through the trees as we walked hand in hand to the edge of the waters.

It was beautiful--hard to describe the lovely magic of this place.  There was a colorful rainbow quality to the air and bits of cottonwood drifted through the sunshine like tiny faeries.  My husband and I swung in the swings and laughed like children.  The river sparkled its magical dreams.


The next day, I took a look at the photos from the park.  I gasped when I saw this picture.  An unexpected square of colorful reflections.  Probably a trick of the camera--but amazing all the same.

The qualities of our world, reflections, light, shapes of cloud, tree, hill and mountain will never cease to amaze my soul.

Sea Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


I have always loved the sea--I haven't been there since this Spring.  This sea heart can be found at low tide along the foot of the cliffs of Pacific City.  The cliffs and tide pools there are amazing.

Triangle Cliff


I am always amazed by the natural geometric forms one can find in nature.  This is a triangle shaped cliff area in the Columbia Gorge, near The Dalles, Oregon--on the Washington side.  You can see the Great Columbia River in between.

Surreal Heart - Guest Heart Thursday


I caught this wispy surreal heart on the edge of a storm heading our way.  There's something so fragile and whimsical about this bit of heart in the clouds.
