When I got up yesterday morning and looked out the window I saw this pale pink moon slipping off to bed behind some lovely clouds! What a great start for any day!!

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it,
you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just
fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
Mark Twain

Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment.
Ellis Peterson
Spring is making a serious attempt to put in an appearance in my part of our world these days! And a wonderful world it is with a beautiful  coastline and blue, blue water, Mt. Rainier watching over everything, terrific places to find colorful plants and flowers, delightful, different places to eat or have tea, and of course, the colorful skies!!

The beauty of spring is making a timid  approach and I will get some photos of a few of those near my complex, these are from last year and just looking at the photos can take my breath away -- I hope they will do the same for you! Have a wonderful week!!
Still having the same problems with WordPress -- unable to leave comments! I do apologize!

To help me appreciate the fact that it isn't cold enough to snow again, I decided to show you a bit of my world when it is covered with snow!  Take note of the expression on the seagulls face and you'll see the general response to snow in the northwest!
Have a wonderful, beautiful week!

Because I'm unwilling to let go of spring and summer, today's post will be a continuation including a surprise snow shower we had a few days ago! Those big white splashes are NOT a camera problem, they are the HUGE snowflakes we had! I was happy to see them go once I had gotten a shot of them!
Have a wonderful, beautiful week!

Blogger is having one of it's junky days and I can't leave a comment on most blogs -- instead I get a message urging me to join Blogspot???? I'll keep trying.

judgment.

think of it; the tree is the real thing.

We're enjoying some lovely, sunny, mild weather which has made me all the more excited about the approach of spring! My favorite things about spring in addition to the warmer weather and blue skies are the incredible, colorful flowers and trees and always the beauty of the water and a day at the beach!

Have a beautiful week!

A look back at some of the fun times, the Wooden Boat Festival, watching boats in the harbor, the fragrance of the Lavender Festival and the beauty that surrounds me every day. I have good reasons today to be most appreciative! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Enjoy!

For those of you who commented earlier, I have saved your comments and they are appreciated, but in trying to clean up the mess Blogger made with my post for Our World, I was unable to post them again. I've saved them in my messages however as they are all important to me.

Thank you as always!!

As my world begins to settle down after Christmas and before I take on a new year, I spent some time looking around my world today! From my bedroom filled with golden light, to the amazing skies and a chance to see the magnificent Rainier! I happened to look up to see a plane overhead and for a moment I felt as though I was seeing my world from up in the skies! So, I'm sharing those views of my part of Our World today!
