Snow Geese at Dusk in LaConner

I took these tonight in Laconner. The daffs were in bloom, I have one still to post, but fields were ablaze, I just got there late for dinner tonight (Alaskan King salmon, creme brulle for dessert, the coffee was divine. very unusual..



The Geese were stunning, too bad it began pouring rain, the fields were solid white like snow and when they took off it was a swirling menagerie of birds. Just breathe taking, I should rive up tomorrow early evening to get a better shot. Oh I have daffs in the trunk of the car...3 dozen of them, and halibut too. Oh dear...I better go take care of that...

I'll photograph the daffs later and post them..below Fields at dusk daffodils,Snow Geese in Green Field, Snow Geese as rain comes in...,Flying off into rain

Mt Baker,Snow Geese, Daffodil Fields



I live in an extraordinary place, where I am surrounded with beauty so breathtaking, that I seem unable to bear it at times, aware, I guess they might say in Japan. ( The feeling)
 Every direction I  look, or take is beautiful, has diversity, and so much to offer, and I can't get around to it all, and won't be able to take it all in in this one lifetime alone.

Each season is cloaked in such beauty I cannot explain my feelings, or contain my desire to be present everywhere at once ......almost, mountains beckon, and each season is a new adventure.
 Winter is for snow, skiing, snowshoeing.
Summer, primarily July/August is good for hiking mountains previously under snow, like Chain Lakes at Mt Baker, and a million other hikes I will never get around to in a lifetime of forevers.

Fall is good for visits to the ocean, camping at Rialto, Oregon Beaches..
Spring , flowers bloom in profusion everywhere.
Seattle is 30 minutes form me, Canada is about 1.5 hours away, and The Ocean is a few hours, The Sound  is a block away, Whidbey Island can be seen from my window.

Tulip and Daffodil fields north about 45 minutes each spring...
I feel I am soaked in beauty .. even the fog is a delight in winter time, and I love the cool drizzle all year round.
Islands, Whales, bear, deer, elk........

How will I ever leave here to go elsewhere, Morocco, France, Italy, etc.?
 I may never leave paradise...
there is no place like Home.

The Skagit Valley Today. Daffodils.

The fields were off the roads in many places that one cannot get to. It was chilly and rainy so I took photos from in my Element. ( Honda) 
Shopped in town for some gifts and went to a nursery for terrarium plants and whatever. I’ve been taking cuttings of quince for neighbors and a few other plant cuttings. Working in the yard. 
Tulip season is next. Fields of many colors all up north about 40 minutes from home. 
Snow geese were out. I got video and may take screen shots for here later.
