Procrastinating and Fresh Air
I did take a couple of photos today but didn’t think you would be interested in crocus shoots just coming through the moss or a big pile of vegetable matter piled on a raised bed in a garden I...
The Good Things Too
Not my usual pretty flower picture. This is the view outside my kitchen window this morning, day eight of our “weather event”. My goal here is to focus on the positive. Just think, with no on...
Rebound? Soon I Hope
It is like a badly maintained ice rink out there even though it has been above freezing since this morning. One can’t drive on it even with chains and four-wheel drive. It is very quiet. I wen...
Eek!
There is a story about this not very interesting picture of my patio door midday yesterday. Kes and I were exchanging photos of our various forms of frozen precipitation as the snow, rime, fre...
And She's Off
Wow. I don’t think I have had as busy a week as this last one since I stopped working. Not that I am not working, teaching is working, but it doesn’t feel that way because I enjoy it. This is ...
Learn By Doing
A beauty berry bush down by the garden. I wandered down there on Friday to pick up blown oak sticks and weed a little in the plot. We are heading for a hard freeze at the end of this next week...
Telling Stories
I am struggling a bit to get contemporary photos to share with the current weather wet and cold and dark. This is from yesterday. I had hopped on an early bus to meet with the coffee guys and ...
Doing and Undoing
I was looking for a shot that had a bright expansive feel for the new year, so I asked Mrs. Sherlock if we could do the local river walk Friday morning with a potential detour to the portable ...
Nibbling at the Year Ahead
The parking lot at the train station in the town Kes and Most Honorable live in was full on Christmas Day afternoon so we drove to the very back were there were a few spots. There was this bar...
Mighty Nice
From an atmospheric walk out in heavy fog this morning. A residential neighborhood that is a mixed bag of old houses and new condos and townhouses. An area we’ve not walked in together before ...
Time for Nourishment
Another sunrise shot. This time Mt. Hood. Today it was raining but I did get out for a short walk after class. The early camelias are starting to bloom and I saw the tips of a crocus plant bre...
Reverting to the Mean
What I saw out my kitchen window at sunrise Thursday. I saw this and then went outside and stood in front of the window so I wouldn’t catch the frame in the shot. The angle is a little differe...
Trance States and Peach Fuzz
I took this yesterday in freezing wind as I waited for the bus across from “the pink house” that I would love to buy. It is still for sale, this previous Masonic Lodge, telephone switching sta...
Filling In the Outlines
Although is has been raining we are getting skies like this periodically throughout the day. Little sunbreaks. We’ve got one of those atmospheric rivers coming in and an on again/off again flo...
Most Ordinary
This probably looks like a perfectly normal mid-sized American city scape. This is right across the street from our main train station and there is something missing. That whole view has been ...
Oh, The Folly
Same trees as last post, different day, different angle. We have frost this morning and it is just freezing. Most of the trees are bare. Our local department of transportation has a huge budge...
Intentions
Not my favorite time of year and I have been allowing myself to drift a little. Reading a lot. Mostly mysteries or police procedurals. And about half in audiobook format. I love audiobooks. If...
Engaging with Our World - Locally
Another fall glamor shot. This was a few days ago and the leaves are truly almost all on the ground now. With the rains coming back it is a big slippery mess. Someone was saying that we have m...
Sort of All Over the Place
From a walk yesterday. Catching that tail end of fall as we turn towards winter. I was tired; therefore, it was a flat walk, mostly so Mrs. Sherlock and I could catch up on our recent goings ...
Talking About What We Don't Talk About
From a walk in the neighborhood this morning. Mrs. Sherlock and I were going to gear up and walk across the river, but she and Frieda bailed. It was raining hard, big ploppy drops at that poin...
Even Though
Always nice to get a slightly different perspective. Moonset, sunrise, a minus low tide on Sunday. Such a gift our clean public beaches are here. I am home now. Happy about that. After the di...
Pelicans and a Full Moon
Early sunset out here on the Oregon Coast. This morning we watched the full moon set over the Pacific. A sight I have not seen in almost 30 years since I lived near the beach in San Francisco ...
Romance and Technology
This romantic looking building (across from the bus stop I wait at on my way home from the place where the coffee group is currently meeting) is for sale. Just in case you are interested. I h...
Hybridization
Late dahlias and tomatoes. I took my tomato plants down on Saturday. While there was still some green fruit. It was clear they were not going to ripen. The cosmos are still blooming cheerfully...
A Vortex of Anger
Rose hips and hydrangea. I had a challenging day yesterday. The news is affecting me, and I think I need a tune up or something. I am feeling isolated and on a lot of levels that is of my own ...

What flits through at a particular time.
