Wetland Sentinels

Edmunds Marsh, Washington State, is a 22.5-acre (9-hectare) urban wetland. While I was there taking pictures, I ran into a reclamation crew removing invasive Wizards Nightshade (Circaea lutetiana). We had a long talk about the stream ecosystem there. Apparently, if it isn't cleared out, the area turns into a bog. He pointed to huge hedges of the plant smothering other plants further in, but in an area where he wasn't allowed to go.

For months after my dog Charlie died the lease would rattle in the entry way at odd times. Was he lonely, wanting a walk?

Last time I saw this sunrise, it was raining and snowing. Some people would never come back to a place thinking this place was jinxed. Nature is capricious, though.

Is a disaster yet? — Sat & Sunday

Things did not improve. In the mid-afternoon, there were some rainbows, but no sun breaks. I finished reading something that had been on my TBR list for over a decade, “Moll Flanders,” by Defoe.

          Shiny bow
          In a dismal sky
          God's hint

          Yet they withhold
          No sun disclose

Is a disaster yet? — Sat Morning

What a wild night: rain, sleet, hail (light), and snow. I woke up to a light coating of snow everywhere. This was the last morning I didn’t need to take shelter while I ate breakfast and had my tea.

Snow to sleet
Three Beargrass plume
White to white

Friday Part III

That was the last of the “decent” weather, and the rain slowly turned to sleet and then to icy snow. The weather threatened to improve come evening, and I got a lovely sunset reflected in the east.

It lied, and the night was interesting. More on that tomorrow.

Friday Part II

We moved to mixed clouds and periodic sprinkles. It was nice enough to go flower viewing before I had to retreat to the car to read "Experimental Film" by Gemma Files and "Turn of the Screw" by Henry James.

          Roadside bloom
          Mixed sprinkles
          Forest dew

Is it a disaster yet? — Friday Part 1

The new day started with mixed weather. On rolling out of a dry tent, I found fog mixed with light rain. Things looked hopeful.

          Fog bound
          Monkey rains
          Tinny prattle

          Hope in the dawning
          In solitude settled

Thursday Part II

The new tent, now deceased (which we will get to at the very end), was best I’ve I’ve owned. It was easy for one person to set up, dry, and airy. I finished the first half of Yuru Camp #17 and fell asleep to the sound of the wind rumbling like a freight train.

          Roaring wind
          Freight train rumble
          Pines sigh

          Ancient spirit fly
          Amid hooded peaks

Is a disaster yet?

The difference between a disaster and an adventure is if you recover.

Thursday Part I

The trip started under mixed omens. The weather cleared, and the camp fees were waived. It’s always pretty isolated, but this early in the year, with a mixed weather forecast, it was a safe bet we (Roscoe Arbuckle [my dog] and I) would have the place to ourselves, and we did.

          Pacific strand

          Oregon’s snowy pearl
          Throws back her hood

The view of Mt. Hood was spectacular on the way in. This was as good as it got.

Evening rolled in with mixed showers and sun. The chill was enough that I read mostly in the car with Roscoe. (A Stable of Nightmares, by Joseph Sheridan Fanu)

         Rain drum
          A dog's warmth
          Slow reading

          Fog in the valley
          Asleep in my lap
