Webs on a trail in Washington State
the gateway
the feeling that you might end up somewhere else entirely,
depending on where you step,
to veer off trail is to find yourself losing yourself,
which, depending on who you ask,
can be lovely
or alarming.
once more with feeling
Interrupting Canadian imagery from our trip to bring you a surprise I experienced at 11:07pm last night. It lasted about 15 minutes and was stronger in color visible to the naked eye than what we saw months ago.
I can’t believe I’ve now seen the aurora twice this year.. life is full of the unexpected.
Week's End
Picked tulips outside a cafe in Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA,
reflecting how I feel at the end of a very full week.
Green
It seems very safe to me to be surrounded by green growing things and water. -Barbara Kingsolve
Yellow
Our pasture is currently covered in these. A weed, but so pretty and such a nice color.

We’re all equal before the wave.

All the flowers
Would have very extra-special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
When I'm lonely in a world of my own..

In the Finite
Wasted time will break a heart faster than any failure.
Don’t distract me with the useless, but fill this limited space up with intention and living.
Trying and caring, in no particular order, as long as each is present.
No manipulations, no perfections, just things as they desperately are,
as I am, in the finite.

Inbetween
Right on the cusp of summer,
as if nature knows what follows, and comes out veins blazing.
Woods
Wooden memories in the mist, until I find myself there again.
Family Portraits at Larrabee State Park
This, friends, is an enthusiastic gang of folks. The Wolvertons are world travelers, beekeepers, athletes, teachers, and cultural enthusiasts. They came with a plan, (I love me a good plan) smiles, and ideas. I could have spent so much time just talking with these people. (See above list of occupations and interests) :-)
We got down to business though, shot quite a few photos, and had a fun time working with the last of summer light.
Thank you Wolvertons, for letting me be your first ever family photographer. Truly, you guys were wonderful company, if only for an hour or so.
