Here’s where the cow lives. I love the farms and barns I come across. There’s many routes to work, I leave a few minutes early, and I just tag that camera along with me. (So, don’t tell my boss that I’m slacking off.)

Rural Roads II

Got Milk, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
That’s a good question, especially if you think that milk is really a symbol of what is good and nutritious in the world around us. I think we all need “milk” and search for it. Here in Western Washington, with all the dairies, I think we’ve GOT PLENTY MILK.
I’m [...]

This is the center right outside my little town in Western Washington. Isn’t this fun….exploring rural roads. I hope you like the trip.

Is this not the most ridiculous tree you’ve ever seen. It just flaunts
“SPRING.”

Seattle Views

Ships, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
If you walk along the harbor in Seattle, there’s a restaurant that serves up some of the best fish and the best views. This picture was taken from the lounge window upstairs. I met some friends from different universities and different state agencies. We laughed and ate and drank and [...]

Seattle Trees in Bloom

Seattle Overview, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
Even though I prefer to live across the street from cows in a pasture, doesn’t mean that I can’t and don’t appreciate the art that we create in our cities. Trees are a part of this art. Here are a couple of trees in bloom that I saw in [...]

Crossing the Country

Tree and Mountain, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
Spring is nice. But in the meantime there’s cross country skiing. Pristine wilderness with cut trails winding through forest service land. Silence, except crackling snow beneath fiberglass boards. Melodic rhythm of one ski, one pole, in front of the other. The glide and the swing. The taste of [...]

Spoke ‘TOO’ Quickly

Spring Snow, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
Well, I thought spring was “spreading like butter” across the state of Washington. I should have known better after living in Idaho and Colorado. And I didn’t move up near the Canadian border for an early spring, even though I would have liked one, (I moved here for a nice university [...]

Fly Away

Geese Tribe 2, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
I had visions of all these great snow geese spreading their wings and taking to the sky. Camera in hand. Watching, holding my breath for that one split second moment that would be captured on film (computer image anyway). The one great shot. Silently watching. But no, they [...]

A Secret

fields, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
Don’t tell anyone that Washington is beautiful. It’s our secret. Don’t tell them about our wonderful schools and clean air and lovely countryside and soft weather. Don’t tell anyone about the smart, lovely young people at my university who’ll hold a door open for an old teacher carting a ton of [...]
