Driftwood.....







I love to think of places I have explored this year and many of them are on the beach. I have found really neat driftwood....it is weathered by the incoming and out going surf, and by the temperamental storms that take place at sea....driftwood is like me.


Life goes on...

Don't drift out to sea, especially on driftwood....you might never come back! E-

Botanical Gardens......












Living in the Seattle area, has allowed me to experience so much. One of my favorite things to do is go exploring the Botanical Gardens (near the ship canal). The Botanical Gardens "World" tour is amazing.....

Life goes on,

Botanical Gardens World tour in the Seattle area is a wonderful place......do check it out sometime. E-

A Very Powerful Dam.......






The Grand Coulee Dam is in Washington State, U.S.A. I will never forget the power that this dam has, build by hard work and the quest to provide an opportunity for jobs during a time when people couldn't find work. Unfortunately, History does repeat itself. "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -Thomas Jefferson

Life goes on.....

The Grand Coulee Dam is one of the wonders of the world....jobs give people the opportunities to better themselves. May the people who are out of work now be able to find work in 2010. Best Wishes, E-

A Voyage.......




The big ships come into Lake Washington-ship canal near Seattle and then some come to dock in Seattle....a voyage that only I wish to dream upon.

Life goes on,

Even when the big ships come into dock.....to dream that someday I may voyage with them. E-

Colors of the Wilderness.....






Fall is one of my favorite times to contemplate upon the past and think about what is to come. Here is where my spirit soars with ideas....colors of the wilderness. (Stevens Pass, Washington, U.S.A., October 2009)

Life goes on....


Amongst the colors of the wilderness......contemplate upon the past, but think about your future. E-

Sea of Lavender........








When visiting the Olympic Peninsula you will find a town called Sequim, Washington,(U.S.A.) here you will find a place that is filled with the scent of french Lavender and rolling hills of purple...a sea of Lavender.

Life goes on,


Walking through a sea of Lavender......Take care for tomorrow is another day. E-

My Earthly Father.....






The day that my earthly father visited, was the day I realized the value of forgiveness. We live many miles apart, so many memories have past between us, sometimes painful, and some happy to share, but the forgiveness came...when my earthly father came to visit me.

Life goes on.....

When my earthly father came to visit me.....Best wishes for 2010! E-
