Clouds and Old Homesteads

Old Homestead in early spring near Goldendale, Klickitat County, Washington

Old houses like discarded skins, with a fierce wind blowing memories around in empty hallways and upstairs bedrooms. I often wonder, when I see one like this… where did the people go? Where there once children working hard on the farm and learning to plow or can food? Please take time to clickContinue reading “Clouds and Old Homesteads”

Many times in life I have stood and watched as the sunset faded and twilight blue hour came on. And several of those times I have watched as cloud spun like whirling dervishes in the fading blue light as the stars began to peek out one by one.

Thunderstorms of a wild sort

August 9, 2013 the Cascades were rocked by a huge thunderstorm of the style you might see in the Midwest I think. One of the first strikes hit the hill above Bingen, Washington not far from us. Sirens were going off everywhere and power went out. Rainbow and orange clouds and lightning and me dancingContinue reading “Thunderstorms of a wild sort”
