Blue Columbines

Blue Monday

These pretty blue columbine flowers are growing in a pot on our front porch. =)

Just driving by. . .

Weekend Reflections

There are two reflections in this photo. The camera reflected on the window, and the sun reflecting on the water (and cars). I snapped it real quick while we were driving through Tacoma. The camera focused on the window instead of the water, but I think it turned out kind of cool. =)

Flower Heart

This photo is for Guest Heart Thursday. =) I took it at Lowe's plant nursery. I try to remember to bring a camera with me everywhere, because you never know where or when a great photo will turn up.

"Look, do you see that poem?" she [Anne] said suddenly, pointing. . . "There . . . down in the brook . . . that old green, mossy log with the water flowing over it in those smooth ripples that look as if they'd been combed, and that single shaft of sunshine falling right athwart it, far down into the pool. Oh, it's the most beautiful poem I ever saw."

"I should rather call it a picture." said Jane. "A poem is lines and verses."

"Oh dear me, no. The lines and verses are only the outward garments of the poem and are no more really it than your ruffles and flounces are YOU, Jane. The real poem is the soul within them... and that beautiful bit is the soul of an unwritten poem. It is not every day one sees a soul... even of a poem."

~Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery, 1909

Silver Camera's Watery Death.

The picture above is, sadly, the last picture I ever took with my mom's old camera (which she let me use), right before I dropped it in the water. *kerplunk* I was able to save the memory card, but the camera wasn't so lucky. *moment of silence* . . . . . . why'd the last picture have to be of my FEET?!!

That was a few weeks ago, at Saltar's Point Beach. The sky was really pretty that day, with a warm glow that made everything look golden (we later learned it was because of wild fires in British Columbia). My family and I had a great time looking for sea glass, walking around in the water, watching for trains, and just enjoying the view. =)


Besides murdering the camera, it was an awesome day.

Hello. . . agian!

Okay. I just looked at my previous post (and only post, currently), which is from june '09. It says "I hope to write in here often." Have I? NO! It's not exactly my fault. I couldn't remember my password. . . and was to lazy to get around to retrieving it. But I plan on writing in here more than once a year from now on.
Anyway, this blog will be about life on Windchime Hill. That's what I named where we live (though it's also known as Blackberry Hill, too). I have three siblings, a mom and a dad, and lots of cats. We're homeschooled / unschooled. So this should be interesting. =)

This is all I can think of to post right now. . . but I'm sure I'll be able to think of something soon.
