~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 119: My Hideaway ~

Posted on October 23, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

Leya has invited us to show our favorite hideaway this week. As it happens, I have two special places to relax, write, read and think. When we’re home in Vancouver during the summertime, my hideaway is under a bower near the pond/waterfall feature in our back yard. The first photo below, features sunlight filtered through a sprinkler that is refreshing the garden and pond.

When we’re at Long Beach, Jello and I share the big barrel chair in the corner, where I can see out the picture window and sliding glass patio door. With my laptop nearby, and a candle warmer to keep my café au lait warm, I snuggle into the chair, often with Jello tucked in beside me. We are replacing the chair with a new, equally accommodating one soon. Jello can hardly wait!

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

~ Lens Artists Photo Challenge 118: Communication ~ Jello Talk ~

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

I’ve loved animals all my life, and though my childhood dream of being a Veterinarian didn’t materialize, I did turn into a pretty good dog-whisperer.

Jello is the fifth Beagle we’ve welcomed into our family. She was four when we were blessed to become her forever home. This Christmas she will turn 10. What a lot of fun she continues to be!

I can see you, but you can’t see me Mr. Squirrel.

Eclipses make me uneasy. Bring back the sun!

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 117: A Photo Walk ~

Posted on October 8, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

It was overcast and gray when Jello and I took our morning walk the other day at Long Beach, Washington. Looking back at the berm where we leave the Discovery Trail and enter the beach, a rugged cross marks the place.

Leaving the Discovery Trail, a metal salmon sculpture provides a handsome bike rack.

A few Sanderling, crow and gulls worked the shoreline this morning.

It was a very low tide which left wonderful designs in the sand. I especially liked how this Razor Clam shell influenced the water flow and sand formation as the tide receded.
