I’m looking through poems, thinking in song lyrics and haven’t yet put together a complete response to this week’s photo challenge. In the meantime, here is one of my favorite photos of dawn from Cabin 1, Beach Haven, Orcas Island.
“Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are.”
“The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.” Meg Rosoff

Bleeding heart(Dicentra spectabilis) is a long-time favorite of mine, since it is perennial, with early spring blooms and thrives in my shady gardens.
In an effort to spice up my posts, I’m trying out new challenges. This one, In a Vase on Monday, is hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. Daffodils though still bright, are looking rag-tag from the wind and rain they’ve endured, and tulips are up but not yet blooming.
Thick displays of Camelia blossoms still cover both my shrubs, and dear Helebores keep looking pretty even as they age! Red-flowering currant adds a little airiness to this informal wall vase.
A Double-crested Cormorant riding driftwood in the tide performed a series of submissive moves, as it approached and passed a dominant Double-crested Cormorant.

Notice how stark still the dominant bird remains upon its stationary float. This happened quite a distance out in the bay from where I stood, so the shots are cropped, and I increased saturation.
My mother gave me this mixmaster for a wedding gift. Whenever I use it, I am filled with the love of home cooking she instilled in me, and the love she gave so generously to Dad and their four children.
Walking With Eagles is a collection of original poems and photographs by Lindy Low Le Coq. A lifelong naturalist, amateur photographer and bird enthusiast, Lindy’s verse, composition and photographs open a window into the essence of her subjects. Her poems and photography reflect the rich natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest.
Bald Eagles mature over the course of five years. Walking With Eagles invites the reader to take a poetic and visual tour of this odyssey.
