Pacific Northwest. Oregon. Photography my own. Love gardening, foodie stuff, nature... writing, archaeology, art, books, architecture. Also... three dogs, one cat 💕 Beauty in the world. Penchant for democracy ~
Not the clearest photo but, suits the theme! #BirdOfTheDay #RedOrDead (Any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird, or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches.) This is both. Red twig dogwood branches grow red in the winter. A nice backdrop for this Golden-crowned sparrow. #birds #nature
#TheCampfire Went to the Oregon Country Fair this summer ~ first time in a long while. Held on 500 acres of protected land, it's a gathering like no other. A fair adrift in an eccentric Avalon or something, a place of hope, optimism, acceptance, where artists and dreamers rule, and love always wins.
A great blue heron not wading at all at the moment... Standing in an abandoned rock quarry with the water just out of frame, below. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #FabulousWaders #birds #heron #nature #photography
In 2013, was visiting a friend who lived in the middle of nowhere. Driving down a lakeside dirt road, I suddenly saw this bald eagle way up in the tree. It was pretty thrilling. Started noticing birds more and more after this... #BirdOfTheDay #Firsts #birds #nature #photography
CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)
they knew they were a lot & they just didn't care.. #bloomscrolling #photography #nature #gardens #PinkMon #beyourself #lifeisyourstotake
Woke up just past dawn to a lovely bit of a rainbow a couple weeks ago. No rain anywhere, just a bit of rainbow. Then it was gone. Put me in a good mood all morning. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEphemeral #rainbow #nature #beautyintheworld
Our local volcano this week. Glad she's a calm one. I think she's beautiful. #MountainMonday #volcano #nature #photography
Yarrow, yarrow, everywhere-o. 💛🌱 #SundayYellow #flowers #medicinalherb #mountainlife #nature #photography
When a sunset makes the world go almost abstract. #sunset #almostabstract #beautyintheworld #scape #photography
Rich red gladiolus, some of the only truer reds in the garden! 🌱 Wasn't really planned that way... #flowers #inthegarden #gladiolus #summer #bloomscrolling
Echinops, the queen of odd flowers now blooming in the garden. AKA globe thistle. Bees love them. 🐝💙💜🌱 #flowers #inthegarden #summerflowers #photography #nature
Full moon rising, fading out the stars. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDark #photography #nature #mountainlife #forest
Curves. So many curves. ...and two bird friends. See them? About to sip more water from the creek. Felt so honored they didn't fly off, they just stayed there. #AlphabetChallenge #Curves #birds #BirdOfTheDay #photography #nature #hotday #summermorning
One of my sons got engaged to his girlfriend this week ~ our whole family is celebrating a great pair of humans who found each other. Here's a dahlia! Looks pretty and celebratory, right? 💗🎉💍 #flowers #dahlias #engagement #happyhappy #love #family
Another Asiatic lily, looking lovely in the dappled sunlight. 🌱💗 This one is a late bloomer, and quite tall! 6'/1.8m. #inthegarden #lilies #flowers #photography
When these Asiatic lilies are blooming, this is where I tend to stop and stare awhile... 🌱🧡💗 #inthegarden #lilies #flowers #OrangeSun #photography #summer
Left behind. Water left the lake, bird left the feather. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAForAbandoned #feather #drought #nature
Trumpet vine season in the garden is so nice! 🌱 Daily hums and buzzes of local hummingbirds, this one a juvenile Anna's hummingbird. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsILove #nature #birds #summer #inthegarden #trumpetvine
'Rosie the Riveter' roses. 🌱🌹 Changes so much as they age! And now that it's quite hot every day, they've grown very pink. This photo taken in June while it was still mild. The ivory-toned ones are the oldest, the rich oranges just bloomed. #RoseWednesday #flowers #bloomscrolling #inthegarden
Attention Alphabetters! This is your reminder that Mon 15 Jun is the start of Week X and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Xyloid. Don’t panic-it just means woody! Actual wood and anything resembling wood so lots of scope. Best I could do that isn’t xylophones 😂 Use the # below and have fun😊
friday tiny note: field study 📸 ordinary does not mean unimportant. subject: a tiny heart on the forest floor, waiting to be noticed. — what small thing did you notice this week? #FieldNotes #Photography #Nature
Autumn Fern, just unfurled in the one shady area in the garden. #FoliageFriday #ferns #nature #photography
Crater Lake. Deepest lake in the US, ninth deepest in the world. Formed in the caldera after an ancient volcano, Mt. Mazama, blew - 7700 years ago. This lake looks just as unreal in person! Amazing sight. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWater #lakes #volcano #geology #Oregon #nature #beautyintheworld
