Remember the surprise rain on Saturday morning? Well, this is the surprise sunset that preceded it on Friday evening.

Those dense gray clouds headed straight at us were rain clouds. It has been so long that we've forgotten what they look like!

Poem: Soul healing beauty on a branch

Monday, April 16, 2018

"Soul Healing Beauty On A Branch"

Soul healing beauty on a branch,
Awaiting your pause to focus and gaze,
Those Barred Owls are feathered objects of Divine magic!

Feathered beauty that heals away self-inflicted discontent,
Beauty that filters self-doubt and inspires courage,
Natural beauty that leads you to contentedness!

With an intent focus and gaze at their feathered beauty,
Free and distract your mind from self inflicted discontent.

Barred owls are natural beauty in harmony,
Nature’s sublime-Divine-feathered-soul-healers,
A source of soul healing beauty for everyone!

Mesmerizing beauty from Barred Owls,
Is Divine-Providence-healing in visual revelation,
A concoction for releasing soul felt discontent,

Natural beauty is extraordinary-Divine-intervention,
To cleanse discontent from your Soul,
A way to erase the fault-lines of worry from your brow,
Barred Owls are soul healing beauty on a branch!

Now that everything is in bloom (I saw a purple tulip today!) the heavy rain is knocking some of the early blooms off the trees.

The colors are still vivid and for a while you get color on the plants and on the ground.

Calmness
Photo by Jan Hansen

Jan comments "When the Sound is calm, one can look at clouds from both sides. Here and now is such a time."


I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

--Joni Mitchell


4-4-2017 Corrected: Joni Mitchell wrote and record the song "Both Sides Now", and Judy Collins covered it.

Shorewood teacher's sunset photo wins statewide award

Tuesday, May 7, 2013

Photo by Paul Villanueva courtesy Shoreline Schools


A beautiful photo of Shorewood High School cross country team members silhouetted at sunset received a perfect score from the Washington School Public Relations Association (WSPRA) in its annual awards competition. WSPRA is the professional organization for K-12 communications in the state.

Paul Villanueva, Shorewood mathematics teacher, activities coordinator and coach, took the photo during a preseason camp on Whidbey Island at Camp Casey last summer.  

“It was the first evening of the team building camp,” Villanueva recalled. “We split our team up into teams to participate in mini-team competitions. Just as we brought the athletes outside, I noticed the sun was at the right angle while mixed in with a slightly elevated field. I asked a few athletes to go over and start jumping and this is one of the pictures that resulted in that moment. So glad that I saw and caught this.”

Shoreline Schools also received awards from WSPRA for the District Web site, redesigned this year by Brent Degenhardt, technical support manager and Webmaster; and for the 2012-13 District wall calendar designed by Craig Degginger, public information officer.

Unlucky Duck - copyright Marc Weinberg

Marc Weinberg says,

"In spite of this weekends bluster, cool and rainy conditions, this daring, but 'unlucky duck' was ready to take a swim, if only his mate would have shown up. He waited for a hour marching up and down the pool side and then finally just took off without her."
