This is an Indian Plum bush. It's one of the very first plants
to bloom here in the spring. The leaves come out first, then the
blossoms dangle down from the leaf. To me it looks like little
fairies fluttering all over the bush.

Riffe Lake - It's drained quit low at this time of year,
ready for snow run off.

Some of the stumps where huge.

Hard to believe this will soon be under water.

White Pass, snowshoeing with the Hill's.
It was a great spring snow day.

A beautiful scene along our walk.

In the valley there's a bit of snow left on the pumpkins.

Autumn Joy

We are having a most beautiful autumn. My home has been awash with an amazing warm golden light, a reflection of the trees with their yellow and orange leaves across the street.

This morning was a bit foggy, but still there was that amazing glow.
