My father, now 93 and fighting to remain cogent and healthy.

It’s no wonder Mom fell for him!  Still a gentleman and scholar, though age is having a rough dance with him. Love him dearly.

As we in the northern hemisphere wave farewell to the last days of autumn and sip the new wine of early winter, I find my feet on the ground and my spirit in the air.

~ Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge ~ Snowbound! ~

Posted on December 12, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

These two shots were taken in late January, 2015 after a heavy snowfall in Vancouver.

The piles on top of the suet feeder and bird bath put a new perspective on snowbound!

~ Friday Flyers ~ les feuilles d’automne ~

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

A serious el niño is causing record rainfall, serious flooding, and landslides in the Pacific Northwest. Yesterday a series of thunderclaps shook my home — ten minutes later a tornado struck a suburban neighborhood about 15 miles northeast (as the crow flies). Though there were no injuries, there was much structural damage.

 autumn leavesI had hoped to get some photos of leaves blowing in the wind this fall, but now all the leaves are off the trees. Instead, I offer one of my drawings in homage to the end of autumn.

When taking the winding, one lane, dirt drive leading from Enchanted Forest Road to the pottery gallery, this sign lets you know you’re on the right track!

Jello was pretty drugged up when this photo was taken, just six days after the accident that almost took her life. Even through the haze of pain medication she looks scared and sad.

Life is good!

Mourning Doves return to my grounds yearly. This one perched in a tree nearby long enough for me to get some nice shots in the early spring sunlight.
