Gold Moon Rise

The Moon and the Mountain in Pastels

An Osprey Pulling a Fish Out of the Inlet

I saw it start its dive and I heard it hit the water. I was clicking my camera the whole time and I don't know if the first one is going in or coming out... but the second one is pretty self explanatory.

The Cheery Stream

There, as she drifted into sleep
Beside the cheery stream,
The Dryad heard its playful laugh
Within her peaceful dream.
She danced within her sylvan glade
Beneath the sun's sweet gleam;
Her hair entwined with blooms she’d plucked
From meadows where they teem,
And as she danced the song she sang
Embraced a joyful theme
Which lingered as she woke again
Beside the cheery stream.

Hot Air Balloon over the Inlet

The Moon in the Trees

Rocked in the cradle of their boughs
She hummed a lullaby,
Then slipped between their needled arms;
Returning to the sky

Great Blue Heron

Happy Birthday, Popsi!!!

We Love You and We Miss You!

Sun and Mist

Goldfinch King of the Hill

Sunshine Spilled into the Garden!

The Secret Path

There is a path, down by the sea,
Where my heart tends to roam;
It's at the spot where sand and wave
Can both feel right at home.
That place where peace spills up on shore
And blooms in unmown grass;
Where sorrows drift out with the tide
And healing breezes pass.

The Setting Sun...

Snagged in a tree on it's way down.
