The Colors and the Bee

Just for a change I thought I’d share a glary peony. Is it too self centered to say I love the composition here? The colors and the bee. Although the cold wind continued yesterday morning by mi...


I apologize for all the iris pictures lately but it is a banner year for them here and I am enthralled. I was talking to Kes last night and she was telling me that one of her knitting teachers ...

Best Get To It

My camera is what, something like four years old now, and my laptop is five and between the two of them posting pictures to Instagram is a bit of a challenge. But I figured out I can do it using...


If you look closely you can see part of a rainbow here. It is hard to believe that it was exactly a week ago that I was headed off to our holiday at the beach. After the first day the jellyfish ...

Back and Together

Practice makes for efficiency. We’ve been indulging in these twice yearly getaways to the Oregon coast now for long enough that we are getting pretty good at the whole logistical part of the ent...


Yesterday morning after I took the bus train to Salem I talked Kes into a short walk around the neighborhood. She asked me to take a picture of this fabulous array of color and spring exuberance...


I want to make friends with the people that live here so I can go hang out in their yard. :) Finally the results of my uncomfortable Ultrasound came back and the exceedingly good news is that t...

Unfolding Joys of Spring

On Friday after work S. came over and picked me up (I felt a little like a princess getting a ride) and we went back over to her part of town where she, (and her cheerful standard poodle Frieda)...


This is the house up in the affluent neighborhood above me that had all the pretty Easter decorations including the giant chocolate bunny. I mentioned the giant edible Leporidae in my public yog...

Progress and Technology

Everything is blooming and fragrant here. It is like someone took the flower clock and sped it up. The wild poppies are up and the peonies are budding. I was across town last week where the weat...


So the wonderful women’s health team (the nurse had partially lavender hair and many tattoos and knows Reiki) was unable to complete the biopsy this morning and have referred me for additional t...


Title: I took this on Easter on a walk with Kes and Most Honorable around their lovely quiet flower full neighborhood. I like the composition, the colors, and shapes in the photo, the touch of ...

Street Clothes

I felt almost normal on Friday but yesterday was rough. I have a feeling I have an interesting week in the body ahead. But! It is Easter! It is gorgeous out there even though it is overcast and...

Still in the Stable

One of the cool things about a site like Prosebox is that I can post a messy picture like this. It is not a card worthy perfectly composed shot but instead is a vivid representation of vibrant h...

A Giant Chocolate Bunny?

I am not sure you can easily get the scale here but what appears to be a chocolate bunny near the trunk of the tree there has got to be at least 5 feet tall with the ears. How could that be? Do ...

Bathed in Light

So Kes went to a grief counselor this last week at a local hospice and she got some great information, including a handout excerpt from a book that specifically addresses what might be conflicti...

Go Ahead and Roar

Title: After an incredibly dense morning fog yesterday we had not only clearing in the afternoon but warmth! Laugh; go ahead, those of you coming out of summer into fall, and for those of you w...


Diego is looking rather serious here. He is standing on my laptop case and expressing concern that I might be taking it some place. He is generally such a happy cheerful little guy but the last ...

Going Wild. Ha.

I did my stair walking in the rain this morning. I was wearing a waterproof jacket so my upper body stayed dry but my sweats got wet and when I returned home I clocked into work and didn’t reali...

The Equinox!

Happy balance of light and dark no matter which way you are going! I was supposed to go for a training walk after work last night with S. but she had to cancel at the last minute and I thought,...

A Bit Thorny

It was only after I took this picture midday yesterday that I noticed that the iris plant is wedged between some very thorny roses. Somehow that fit my mood. It was warm and sunny then but today...


It poured here for most of the weekend. It was dark and gloomy and about as wet as one can get. My big heavy broad brimmed hat got soaked all the way through and then I had to carry it around fo...

A Curious Annivesrsary

It has turned into an extraordinary day after a few rainy ones and is clear with some high clouds and warm. I was going to go to the members-only night at the art museum but as I am tired I thin...


She’s an artist, she don’t look back… Except once in a very long while, like now. My oldest sister’s editor is working on a proper obituary for her. They knew each other in various times of their...

In the dark, no less

Seriously this is not a photo from last year inserted to give us all hope. I took this last Monday after I was coming around the side of a garage on my walk home from the studio and saw live blo...
