This is the young Crape Myrtle in the neighborhood yesterday afternoon. I like this picture, the whole of it and I haven’t been taking many pictures lately that I am fond of. I feel sort of fun...

This is the busy street by the grocery store I go to most often. The camera does not do justice to the reds, not even close; they are so much deeper and richer to the eye. I took this yesterday ...

---

This is the local community garden, an unused plot a couple of days ago. I love the light here. There is definitely a fall felling in the air. During the day the classrooms I teach in are used ...

---

The light has been spectacular here the last few days. I believe this is a pumpkin flower but it might be another kind of squash. I took this with my phone on my lunchtime walk yesterday. I spe...

The beloved great niece Miss E. turns 16 on Friday. Her mother, my niece, turns 50 in six months. They are planning a trip to New York to see a Broadway show around that time and are rolling the...

---

This is the sculpture in the nearby park that is often monopolized by the private school kids from across the street. There used to be a mansion here a long time ago that became our county hospi...

---

I remember my first migraine quite well. I was 17. I had no idea it was possible to experience such a complex sense experience that was so uncomfortable and affected so much more than my head. M...

---

There is Carlo on the left and Diego on the right in an unguarded moment yesterday. They don’t normally sleep together during the day so this was unusual. Still it was good for my heart to see t...

---

The glare is back but at least it is cooler out. I had this strong feeling that I should prep to teach material about soothing, nourishing, stabilizing, stretching and strengthening the structur...

---

Title: I am both happy and sad to see the crape myrtles start to bloom. They are so beautiful at a time when the lilies and daisy families are fading and the wild sweat peas are getting dusty a...

---

This shot of a tree growing out of an old mill building in the woods on Saturday appealed to me because of the light. As we move away from the solstice and towards the equinox (fall here) the li...

---

So this was our destination yesterday. The Trail Club of Oregon’s second lodge on the flank of our biggest mountain, Mt. Hood. Plans for transportation and attendance at the hike and dine were ...

---

Title: This is one of the many community gardens in my world. We are in the midst of high summer and it is hot hot hot out. Today was another power company Flex Day and I spent most of the thr...

---

So here is “my” beloved track a few days ago. The field in the middle is being replaced with artificial turf and they started tearing up the track itself yesterday. Rolls and shreds of it are pi...

---

This is a glamor shot of Diego. Someone asked for pictures. This is Carlo. He is very handsome but hard to shoot because he is so gray and shiny. How come I never have used parchment paper bef...

---

Because of all the other stuff going on I haven’t taken that many pictures this last year. This is a dahlia in Kes’s garden last Sunday. I am going on another all day hike and dine with the trai...

---

I love this house. I took this picture just this time last year on my way to a medical appointment and the house is in the original neighborhood before they started putting big busy roads throug...

---

So it seems the Photobucket problems may have something to do with Adobe Flash and an upgrade there. I haven’t solved the issue yet but I am getting closer and have my email the photo to myself ...

---

Okay, Photobucket is acting wonky today. I had to get very creative to get the address of this picture so I could post it. Our scrub landscape is currently full of chicory, wild sweet peas and Q...

---

Love the light here, just a block up from my place at the park. We’ve had cooler mornings and lovely warm afternoons with a breeze. Yesterday I was in the office with St. Joe and I was able to b...

---

I overheard one of my students spontaneously tell another last night after class as we were rolling up our mats, “ I like this class.” Man it doesn’t get much better than that. It certainly make...

---

Starting tomorrow “my” beloved track is going to be closed for a month or two so they can make the “improvements” that Under Armor is paying for. It is taking forever for them to finish the impr...

---

We are in the middle of full-blown summer here though now there are undeniable signs of fall everywhere, near and far. It was 93 (33°C) yesterday afternoon but at least there was a bit of a bree...

---

If you look closely here you can see the beautiful shapes of the lantern flowers just beginning to turn that brilliant orange that they get as we head towards fall. I don’t know how it is in the...

---

Yes I know it is blurry. Think of it as painterly. For days there hasn’t been enough light but I wanted to get a shot of the upper track next to the lilac garden where I often walk when the publ...
