Beautiful Blueberries

5

I love random excursions such as the Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm in Bellevue, WA of all places. A beautiful “off the side of the road” U Pick oasis in a residential neighborhood for blueberry lovers and for those, who like myself, love to meander every now and again.

I really wanted to sit on this swing all afternoon and meditate. Love the old pine wood.

Fields of blueberries where you can pick your own for hours on end but if
you are lazy like me you can purchase them onsite.

of blueberries! I think I’ve only eaten one but for those who want
to know here is a list.

And speaking of blue, I am currently in LOVE with blue and in fact will be covering an old
chair in blue velvet. Here is some inspiration.

Beautiful Forest

Lost in the forest…

Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig
and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips:
maybe it was the voice of the rain crying,
a cracked bell, or a torn heart.

Something from far off it seemed
deep and secret to me, hidden by the earth,
a shout muffled by huge autumns,
by the moist half-open darkness of the leaves.

Wakening from the dreaming forest there, the hazel-sprig
sang under my tongue, its drifting fragrance
climbed up through my conscious mind

as if suddenly the roots I had left behind
cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood—
and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent.

Beautiful Landscape

Took a weekend drive to Wenatchee, WA this weekend.
Located east of the Cascade Mountains, I went in search
of local fruit but alas it’s too early in the season and
came home empty. Instead I was rewarded with some
beautiful scenery, a “blast to the past” diner, and quite
possibily the coolest example of Googie architecture.
