Beautiful Summer Memories

It was a lovely summer, time spent with good friends and family, lovely trips, new adventures.

And I would like to share them with you from a seaplane flight, to Pike's Market, the Dahlia Festival, Orcas Island. Some with family, friends, pictures shared by friends of their adventures.

These are the memories, the pleasures that get us through the difficult times we are all experiencing now. I try to focus on the good -- I'm not always successful, but these help.

Mother Nature at Her Finest!

A beautiful way to remember the summer! These pictures were taken at the Dahlia Festival near Hillsboro, Oregon.
Thank you, James!




It's been a lovely spring and summer and while fall has it's own beauty, I'm a little wistful as always as the summer draws to a close.

Summer Garden Winding Down

Amazing how some plants just hang on
and save their very best until last. Maybe there's a message in that for all of us.
