A Retreat for Peaceful Contemplation

Lisa, that mountain is Mount Rainier.  The picture was taken from the deck on our old house.  I miss the view, but we had to go smaller...  too much house and yard to keep up.  Here's another picture of Rainier, taken when we were out fishing.

OHHHH Lisa, I love the harbour pic.

gardengumby- that is one weird looking plant-love the waterfall too. Must remember to upload my Snowquamie Falls one. 

SoCalLisa- ah sunsets. I took them for granted in the summer clear Fl evenings. The trees out west block the near me fir the most part.

It is a weird plant isn't it?  I took the picture a few years ago at the Arboretum in Seattle - can't remember the name of the plant now, but it doesn't bloom very often, so when it does it's a big deal.

I took these in 2011 in Holland

Don't have them here like that.

That weird plant is VERY smelly if I'm thinking of the right one.

"The geese zippered the Fall sky closed in preparation for winter..."

"The night horizon drew the sun into it's murky depths."

Lisa, I finally found you again! I couldn't remember the thread where I had originally saw your work. By the way, my DH is from Palm Springs and I sometimes recognize your photos from there. His father still spends winters there and is very ill so did not leave this past May. Looks like I'll be going out there in the coming months...

It's hot in Palm Springs in summer as you know. Hope for the best

Unfortunately, I didn't write down locations, I just took pictures.    It's either Southern Oregon (most probable) or Northern California.

Tonight's sunset

What a great sunset
