I had to get out of the house today, so I went up to the Narbeck Wetland park not far from our house. I have a broken toe, so I made it a short walk. Here are some photos.

Sunday Stills: My Favorite Trails
I have a few favorite trails, here in beautiful Western Washington State. The nearest, and probably least-known, is the Narbeck Wetland Trail, which is right across a major thoroughfare from the biggest building (by square footage) in Washington, an aerospace factory. The trail winds through wetland ponds (when there's not a drought-this year was very …
Wordless Wednesday: Come Outdoors with me
I understand from Terri's Post this week, that June is Outdoors Month. The photos below were taken outdoors in places we have been. I am frustrated that my bad knee prevents me from doing much walking these days (re-injured my repaired ACL in left knee last week). In any case, I'm no athlete, and the …
Out of Death, Life
This past weekend, my husband and I took a stroll in the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary, a little oasis of nature directly across a busy street from the huge factory where he used to work. We came upon a tree that had fallen over completely, its base and roots perpendicular to the ground. In the lower …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #179: Serene
Amid all the chaos surrounding us this year, it's always a good idea to find places and things that are serene. In the comic strip "Rose is Rose", Rose Gumbo has her "Let Things Be Tree", where she goes when the family is making her crazy. I don't have a particular tree where I go …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #163: Keep Walking
When I go for a walk in a scenic location (or even just around my neighborhood), I try to pay attention to my surroundings. I live six blocks away from my local Costco store, so if I just want to pick up a prescription, I walk there and back. [let me put in a pitch …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #129: Favorite images of 2020
Since I consider 2020 to have been the worst year in my 71-year life, let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. In 2020, we underwent the worst government-imposed denial of individual liberty in living memory, when our state governments locked down entire states, preventing millions of citizens from earning their livings, and …

Lens-Artists Challenge #108 Sanctuary
A sanctuary is someplace you want to be. It's often a quiet place, or a less-quiet place with no one else around. It's a place to retreat to, when you have had your fill of the honking horns, boomy bass coming from someone's hot-rod, or just backups in traffic. Not far from my home is …
Lens-Artists Challenge #100-The long and winding road.
When I see a road, I usually wonder where it leads. On our travels in the Pacific Northwest, Hubby and I pass many freeway turnoffs with roads down which we have never traveled. On the way to Mount Vernon, there is a freeway exit marked "Starbird Road", and I have always been intrigued by the …
