After a long 6 month winter I'm ready for some SUNSHINE, whos with me?

Unless acted upon by another force...

When floating around in a boat, there is a freedom. There is also fear of being stranded. Kind of like life, in the end we need to row ourselves to shore. Hoping that it is the paradise that we dream of.

Now that the long brutal winter is over, it's time to get back out there and capture that big yellow ball in the sky. The lifegiver to all on this Earth. Peace to you all!

As I was driving home from work (the long way). I glanced to the side and was awestruck by what I saw. The pictures dont do it justice. I didnt have time to change my setting before it suddenly disappeared.

Do you remember the song by John Denver, 'bluebirds on my sholder'? I felt like these two would have, if I had some feed. They came close and just stared into my soul! One was male and the other was female

Here we are in April with 2 feet of snow in some areas. Really makes you ache for some sunshine.

I love being able to travel now that the roads are not ice. If you ever visit the Oregon coast, I suggest going to Rockaway Beach. Further south there is the Tillamook Cheese Factory and North there is

Can you guess what flower this is? I love how the detail explodes once you get so close. Hope you enjoy!

After a long deep snowpack winter, it's nice to finally be able to chill outside!

Don't act like you don't want a slice.

I really like getting close up to take pictures. The detail and beauty of mother nature is so astounding. Leave an upvote if you like!

Every summer after the Christmas tree has dried out we burn it standing up. This is SO the flames reach as high as possible.

Man's best friend. These are my family's English Setters. They are pointer/hunting dogs used to flush out pheasants.

Yes! I print my pictures myself! When you do what you love, is it really considered work? I had heard people say this but thought it was unobtainable. Smooth sailing from here on out. Here's to all those

Living with such abundant wildlife has it's perks!

It's been a long winter, with record breaking snowfall. But I'm ready for summer!

One of my favorite flowers.

Take a seat by the river

Sometimes.... you have to get really close to see other worlds. But they are there.
