Larkspur and Deer Ferns With a View
(warning…this entry is full of superlatives… :) This is the Columbia River Gorge from Larch Mountain. If you know anything about Oregon, one of our main tourist attractions is Multnomah Falls, w...
Some Glare and a Chortle
I took this last week across the street at the track. It is Ceanothus ‘Victoria’ and a super bee attractor. It is quite fragrant even to us mere humans with our limited ability to differentiate ...
The Birdman Wins
I believe I only went to one poetry workshop with Mr. Finch. Most often it was one or the other of us and then there was intensive sharing and debriefing afterwards. We went to readings together...
Out and About
I took this midmorning today up in the hills. This is the side yard of the castle house, the folly house that had the giant chocolate Easter bunny in the yard a year ago. I have been doing a lot...
We Don't Really Know
The ruffles, and almost sewn quality of this iris are pretty cool. Plus I love the color of white with the subtle violet blue undertone. Sometime today would you eat a few nuts, maybe a cracker...
Lushness and Locks
It is quite lush out there in my world. Yesterday was totally overcast with layer upon layer of cloud and cool but there was no rain. I am getting hardly any birds at my feeder array but what I ...
Gloppy Rain and Vulnerability
Stating the obvious, we are still sad about Leo. And for MJ from OD in Toronto, who did not make the transition to Prosebox but is still in touch with many of us on Facebook. She lost her hands...
Cutting Edge Tech and Shame
This picture makes me happy. I suppose I could crop it slightly to move the flowers a bit off center but for now I am enjoying the composition. If you get bored easily with pretty flower picture...
Tempered With Sadness
This is for Jinn. Lupines in another garden here. So imagine you have this repetitive task you have to do everyday. It is critical for the thing you need to do. It takes focus and is time consu...
Mission Accomplished
This is the same meridian or parkway strip I took the last arty blurry photo of. I went back yesterday with the camera midday when there was actually light. I wanted to reshoot a bunch of angles...
The Current Configuration
The reason this picture has that painterly blur to it is that I took it just after dawn yesterday and there was not quite enough light. This messy colorful front garden seems appropriate on this...
Donald Trump Needs to Improve His Posture
Back to pretty iris again. I feel like I could swim in the light here. I think it a gift that as (my parents encouraged an interest in art and painting in me as a small child and the fact that I...
The Ever So Fragile Sense of Safety
Our last sunset at the beach this trip. Sigh. So after my encounter with the screaming indignant woman two weeks ago I have been thinking a lot about my neighborhood and the changes happening he...
No Keys, No Earrings, and No Bra
This was yesterday morning. We had a full spectrum of weather for our three days and change at the beach. Today it was sunny and warm and the beach was significantly more crowded than it is in t...
Happy Eyes
Thursday I went to the eye doctor for a check-in to make sure my eye had healed well after Diego scratched it months ago. I had asked the wonderful funny doctor, an associate professor I met the...
Thirty Eight Hours Down
This is the Terwilliger Lilac Garden. I had walked by it on Sunday with just my phone and smelled the heavenly scent so I went back yesterday midday with my camera. The light was pretty intense ...
New and Different
As we normally now have so little light I find it a challenge to get pictures of the birds I see with any of the cameras I have so I was thrilled to get a relatively decent shot of this handsome...
Large Predators and Angry Humans
Once again in attempt to capture the white of the rhododendrons that surround my living area I got creative and went out just after dawn yesterday to a bush that must have been bought from the s...
The Right White (To get a decent shot)
Today it is overcast and on the cool side, one still needs a coat even though the UV is strong enough with the glare to fully darken the transitional lens on my glasses the minute I step out the...
March Showers Brought June Flowers
This was a couple of days ago a couple of blocks away. It is not like that now; it is bone chillingly damp and overcast out with rain due in a few hours. I’ll be out in it as I have a dental ap...
Next Up on the Flower Clock
I went out walking midday on Friday with the camera. It is rhododendron on the flower clock (and wild poppy). Blooming white flowers, delicate and almost impossible to photograph well, (at least...
A Door, An Insight and Warming Light
This is without a doubt the year of the tulip here. And look… light! Precious heart warming light. I learned last night at my last Bhagavad Gita class, or relearned, that Guru means remover of ...
Noko, Color Whore
As you can see it is lilac time on the flower clock out there. I am not sure why this house is pink but I think there might be a Mary Kay cosmetics connection. There is a pink smart car that u...
No Special Treatment
Is the light here not gorgeous? Oh, spring, I earned you this year! So say we all, at least those of us in sodden weed land. No one has had a break long enough and at the right times in the rain...
A Target in Motion With Tulips
We had the most stunningly beautiful afternoon here yesterday. It was warm, it was dry; it was fragrant. I went out for my neighborhood walk just after I logged out of work, phone camera in hand...
