Taps played in my head as we walked the beach just after sunset.
Day is done
Taps
Gone the sun
From the lakes…
From the hills…
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is nigh.

Spring forest greens
A literal interpretation of Cee’s Mid-week Madness Challenge: forest or dark green.
May you live under interesting skies
Today’s skies were a study of light and shadows.

A brilliant beginning
To the weekend sky.
Local trees in summer
This was taken yesterday at Fern Cove Nature Preserve on Vashon Island in Puget Sound. A typical forest for the shores of the Puget Sound: mostly the brighter green trees are alder with a few big leaf maples. The evergreens are a mix of Douglas fir, hemlock and western red cedar.
These trees help to keep us cool. One of the factors heating up our area is cutting down the forest and replacing it with grass and pavement. When I was a child (a long time ago) we never saw temps in the 90s (degrees Fahrenheit), let alone days over 100.
