Rain washed the skies clean

Sunday, January 15, 2023

Photo by Barbara Twaddell

After the rains, the sky was washed clean, sparkling water glistened, and the lone tree stood sentinel over the Salish Sea.

Photo:Poem - Christmas Tree

Tuesday, December 20, 2022

Boeing Creek Park photo by Tom Wear

Christmas Tree

See the meaning in the seed
Recipe awaiting life and growth
Its story waiting to be told.

Hear the whisper speaking truth.
See the quiet dance of fingers.
It is so graceful to behold.

Feel the fresh against your touch,
Breathe the scent and fill your lungs,
Calm the noise of daylong stress.

Evergreens mean so much, no wonder
We cherish and remember
There in the dark of winter night.

An evergreen tree is ours to ponder.
It leaves room for hope to grow
All year long. And in December

We love it, light it tenderly
And hang our cherished memories.
As it bathes us in it’s glow.

The moon and Venus
Photo copyright Mike Remarcke

Mike managed to get this photo on an early morning on August 25, 2022. It was a brief respite between bouts of wildfire smoke. In the photo the smoke is thick over the Cascades, but the upper sky is clear.

I'm a little appalled that we have been dealing with wildfire smoke since August. It isn't as bad as previous years when we couldn't even see Lake Washington or Puget Sound, but it would be nice to be able to open windows again.

The photo is lovely, though.

Air at ground level is clear but the sky is a solid mass of wildfire smoke. The Space Needle and the Museum of History and Industry glow with light, rivaling the full moon.

Gentle ripples in Echo Lake create surreal reflections of the cattails. There's a rumor of a creature hidden in the photo, if you can find it.

A tractor sits on the road next to fields in the Skagit Valley. You can see hints of yellow in the green fields.

The yellow color is barely brushing the tops of the green. Soon the fields will be bright with yellow daffodils.

The weather has changed so much and so often that any photo will probably not reflect the reality outside your window, but this one shows a little of everything.

And there have been a lot of rainbows recently.

Getting scenic photos, it helps if your normal view is the scenic Echo Lake in Shoreline. Double rainbows are special, though.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Monday, November 1, 2021

Photo by Lee Lageschulte
What is happening? It's the fourth week of October. Halloween. It should be pounding rain with wind and cold. Instead we've had two absolutely gorgeous days with blues skies, bright sunshine, and who cares if it's cold when it's this beautiful outside?

Who has seen the wind?

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you.
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Sundown at Ronald Bog

Friday, September 3, 2021

 
Photo by Martin DeGrazia

Ronald Bog is a contrast in light and shadow as the sun sets in a multicolored tapestry. In this view the Bog looks as if it has been unchanged for centuries, but it actually has a somewhat sordid past.


However, anyone can change their ways, so we will view the Bog as it is today, not what it used to be.
