The
Green of Eastern Washington State
Certainly
one of the things the Pacific Northwest is known for is how green everything
is! This blog post is celebrating that
fact!!
In the Glade
These
lovely flowers are found along the road where we were visiting family. The lighting
of the white blooms, reaching up toward the sun in between the shade of
the trees, is gentle enough to truly set them off.
Early
Summer Fields
The
lucious colors of early summer –
sparkling greens, true blues, and white whites – are all evident in this image of the
fields in eastern Washington state. As
summer progresses, the colors may change and eventually wash out as fall and
winter approaches, but for right now, they are magnificent.
Barn
Near Field
I’m
not certain why type of barn this is, but I love that so much of it is open, so
that there’s a light airy feel to it.
The setting it’s in is perfect – bright blue sky, field of canola
behind it, a fence in front and some scruffy weeds! It was a perfect early summer afternoon for
some wonderful country views!
Field
of Green
This
old barn perfectly offsets the new growth in the area where it sits. The bright yellow-green fields are canola
fields, and the blue sky with a streak of white is compliments of Mother
Nature. The scruffiness of the area
immediately around the barn most likely speaks to the livestock that used to
frequent it.
Layers
of Green
This
scene is from eastern Washington state, and as nice as it looked at a
photograph, I decided to give it a slightly different spin and convert it to a
painting, just for a sense of fun and whimsy.
I hope you enjoy it.
Farmhouse
on the Hill
I
have photographed this farmhouse before, and it was deserted back then as
well. There’s something that speaks to
me about this house, perhaps the history of a family, or several families, all
working the fields, until now. I wanted
to save this image in a different way from a photograph, so I converted it to a
crayon-type drawing, as a tribute to the children that grew up in this house.
The
Farmhouse
This
farmhouse has definitely seen better days and is home to much family
history. It seemed only appropriate to
capture it with a more vintage finish.
Think of the families who lived here over the years, working the fields,
raising children, caring for parents and grandparents. If only these walls could talk.
Enjoy!
