How Time Flies


Harder to come by.
All of the kids are in town!
Making memories.

Mount Rainier Summit


Close to the summit.
Wispy clouds and the blue sky.
Mount Rainier inspires.

Summer Nights

Warm and still tonight.
A lone cicada chirping.
Classic summer night.

Where are the Seattle Clouds?


Some snowcapped mountains?
Visible from Seattle?
I now have the proof!

Mount St. Helens


View: Mount St. Helens.
Thought: active geology.
Truth: God's creation.

Outdoor Art


The beauty of art.
Indigenous expression.
A Northwest staple.

Seattle Postcard


A crystal blue sky.
Mount Rainier towers beyond.
Seattle glimmers.

A Coffee Binge

What a coffee rush!
Portland first. Then Seattle.
Ten days indulgence.

The Immensity of God


An old growth forest.
Near the base of Mount Rainier.
I sense God's power

A Real Troll in Seattle


The Fremont Troll waits.
Looming large under the bridge.
And Portland is weird?

The Pike Place Market - Choices


The Pike Place Market.
Chowder, pastry , and fresh fruit.
What should we snack on?

The Pike Place Market - Colors


The Pike Place Market.
Teeming with searching shoppers.
Flowers draw my eyes.

Matthew 9:35

Moved with compassion.
Seeing the pain of the crowd.
We are told to pray.

Vegas Health Care - Rx


The oxygen bar.
To renew? To recover?
Do they take flex cards?

It's A Dry Heat


Poolside in Vegas.
There is a bit of a breeze.
I'll take the respite.

Southwest Economics



The "boom bust" cycle.
Desert cities under stress.
Foreclosures abound.

It's that time of year.
Weddings on our calendar.
Special and holy.

Belief and Action

Do we believe this? Jesus is the Lord on high. Prove it through actions.
