White Rose of Sharon

A Sunday morning stroll outside my Northwest home brought me to our family Rose of Sharon bush. This beautiful bloom needed to be shared with you, so enjoy! 

Morning Foxglove

Near Abernathy Creek out of Longview, Washington - this little flower glimmered in the morning light. I enjoyed the sound of the water rolling by, the birds singing their morning renditions, and sights like this that make carrying a camera a joy. 

Just before sunrise

Rising early this morning, I gathered my camera equipment and tripod. Heading up the road to a hillside view - I had just five or six minutes before the sun made its peek above the horizon!

I like this shot because it includes the dawn's blanket of fog in the valley below as well... and, fifty plus miles in the distance is Mount Rainier

Lilacs

On a morning outing with three of my ladies, this pretty Lilac was beckoning me to make it be shown - so here it is for you to enjoy! 

Spring morning at the local library

Who can resist a good book; and even more from a delightful trip to such a beautiful classic library such as this one in Longview, Washington? 

Touched by the morning sun

A few days ago, I stopped to catch this warm picture. Already, these blossoms are starting to disappear; but Spring is catching on! 

Leaf Drops

Where I live in Southwest Washington State, we've had a record-setting wet month of March. This morning, there was a glimpse of sunshine for a short while, so I went for a walk into our woods..

This shot entailed some sun and these little droplets; which presented a nice little picture with my macro lens. 

Lit by the morning sun

This morning I parked along a country road, and took a little stroll up a trail - and this had some sunshine lighting down upon it.

So I took a picture with my camera resting on the ground looking back up at it with the light permeating through its petals.
