CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS

YOU ARE INVITED TO VIEW ASPECTS OF NATURE DEPICTED IN SUSAN’S PHOTOGRAPHS AND PAINTINGS. HER ARTIST’S GIFT CREATES VIVID VISUAL  AND EMOTIONAL IMPRESSIONS OF LANDSCAPE, PLANTS, AND ANIMALS.

The garden gnomes have been busy creating spring colors to be captured by Lee’s camera. Lee and the gnomes invite you to appreciate the vibrant colors.

You are invited to join Keith not only in her garden but also on her visits to other destinations to take photographs of butterflies. 

In the spring, Keith’s and Jerry’s garden welcomes bees, butterflies and everyone who passes by their home. Perhaps, they pause to enjoy the butterflies fluttering among the flowers. Perhaps, they enter the garden and visit Jerry & Keith, whose camera is always ready to focus on the variety of butterflies adding color and mystery to the garden. 

WINTER IS NOT OVER AROUND PONDEROSA AND LAKE WENATCHEE! FROM DAWN TO DUSK THE SNOW AND ICE CREATE DRAMATIC VIEWS AND PROVIDE COLD WEATHER ADVENTURES, ACTIVITIES AND PLEASURES!

Gnomes are everywhere these days! Traditionally, these legendary, mythical, whimsical, small of stature creatures lived beneath the earth and had significant roles in our lives.  In our current supposedly sophisticated times, they are popular as decorative creatures on wallpaper in our houses, as funny little statues in our yards, and ubiquitous in shops, stores and malls during holiday times.  Not surprising then that gnomes should venture above the earth on Valentine’s Day.  

The low and cloudy intervals create their own beauty at the Edmonds beach. Together with Roger, join Lee as she ventures outside on cold days to photograph vistas of sky, shore, water, mountains and hardy visitors enjoying winter at the beach!

December brings festive lights and seasonal store displays. Join Lee as she walks  through Edmonds streets and neighborhood shops, capturing photos of holiday delights!

Two of THANKSGIVING’S major themes are grateful HEARTS and a sharing of the HARVEST.  For Lorelie and me the NESTER blog provides the opportunity for many of us to share the harvest of our lives. Memoirs, paintings, poetry, gardens, journeys and more are shared with others in these posts. Several people have communicated with us in different ways that they look forward to the arrival of new posts in the Nester. We think that this blog is part of the “light” that does brighten our lives.  There are so many talents, gifts, skills and interesting lives that could be shared. The NESTER blog provides a platform to do that.  Do take the time to enjoy the wonderful posts that Lee, Joyce, David, Toni &. Paul share with you! And do consider sharing with others!

We are certainly grateful for our late Autumn’s color this year, and you are invited to join Lee as she photographs  the many vivid and muted colors from her neighborhood walks in Edmonds. Lee’s photos focus us on the brilliant fall flowers, iconic seasonal displays, and trees featuring a variety of colors and hues in their autumn leaves. Our day is both brightened and calmed by spending time with these photographs. – Lorelie & Tim
