from the porch

I took these pictures 2 days ago from my porch

... beginning with the Moon ...

this was about 6:45 a.m.

later in the day I tidied up my porch

... all of these things "spark joy" ...

(have you read that book by Marie Kondo?)

 these are the many sticks collected on morning walks

and driftwood from Camano Island

(they are now settled into an old coffee can gifted by a friend)

 my token pumpkin 

(which is really a squash I'll be cooking this later week)

my prized, dried sunflower head

- and finally -

The Sunrise 

it had us all stopped

and

Standing Still

thank you for your lovely comments and kind words

I really do try to get back to everyone

- sometimes it just takes a little while -
