I took this with my phone this morning on my way to the charity 5K event. It was held at a park in an urban residential neighborhood full of lovely old homes and wonderful gardens. And memorie...

---

The color is so close to true here on this slightly squashed rose and I love the shape of the petals. Oldest sister came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. She is in a fair amount of...

---

It is a holiday here in The States and I am so happy to have the day off. We all need down time and as I get a little older I find, just like many of you, I need to honor that more. But! My in...

---

This is a local regular, a song sparrow. Handsome fellow. He just sat there yesterday and did not flit off and I was grateful to get his picture. These guys are always in motion. The sister is...

---

I can’t figure out how to size pictures properly here. Oh well. And I admit I stopped cross posting on ED. I’ll work on it again when I have some free time. Just reveling in the greenness out ...

---

The roses are really coming on out there. Gorgeous glorious roses everywhere. Spring just barrels through, doesn’t it? I feel this imperative to be outside as much as I can. I know many of you...

---

I am employing a little classic pop music to help with expressing my emotions these days… On Sunday it was the Supremes and their version of Keep Me Hangin’ On, which I actually listened to in...

---

This iris was in a random suburban yard near a shady spot in the parking lot down the hill and across the busy street from where we went birding on Thursday. The powers that be are doing a ma...

---

My oldest sister would probably not be happy that I am posting this except that she looks really good considering what she has been through with her cancer and the treatment and her smile is bi...

---

Okay so the extravagant adventure in staying in a hotel three blocks from my sister’s apartment on First Hill in Seattle was worth it as you can see by this view of my Sorrento Hotel bathroom. ...

---

This is a picture I went back for. I saw these yellow irises blooming on Sunday and luckily they were still blooming on Wednesday. The columbines are starting to bloom! I love their almost pinw...

---

The rockroses are coming in. It is so funny how I am becoming more comfortable with the color pink as I get older. It was anathema to me as a girl even though I was a pretty girly girl. On Su...

---

Enough with the Oregon Coast pictures already! Been there, done that. :) Because of the recent (and currently ongoing) rains the iris are getting pretty battered out there. I so live on my own...

---

Okay. I just haven’t had time to set things up on Easy Diary. I admit it. What with work and teaching and getting ready to go to Seattle next weekend to both see and hang out with my older sist...

---

If you have any experience with the Oregon Coastline you will know that blue is not a color you would normally associate with it. Gray of course, some green but not blue. That is why this somew...

---

I took this yesterday afternoon out here at the Oregon Coast. A storm is blowing in now with fierce winds but it has been astonishingly beautiful since we arrived Thursday afternoon. I manage...

---

It is the pictures… That is why I am posting so much lately. I took enough pictures this last weekend I want to share. This year I am particularly enjoying all the brand new leaves everywhere...

---

I think I’ve nailed the borders and placement on the page thing here finally. Thanks to Lyn and Wren, who wrote about how she did her fabulous borders on OD, oh, 4 years ago, and I squirreled t...

---

A half hour after I logged out from work yesterday I left and walked over to the studio. It takes just over an hour if I walk fast. When I got there I couldn’t get in. The dead bolt was locked ...

---

I am still fooling around here with size and placement of photos. The border thing is super time consuming if I do a custom border and don't use a photobucket template. Once again I am interest...

---

This is the vacant lot next to my place a few days ago. I love the unruly nature of the weeds and the old old trees. At first there was talk about putting a multistory parking lot there for the...

---

I don’t think I have ever managed a picture of blooming rhododendrons that I am happy with, but that doesn’t keep me from trying. I can see these beauties from almost all my windows right now a...

---

I finally figured out that the format here on the Box is all about the look on one’s cell phone. That appears to be where the emphasis is. My posts look odd on the page but on my cell phone the...

---

Okay, I admit it I took this picture this time last year. I am testing the sizing here. It is pretty enough to bear repeating. We are having a stunningly beautiful spring day and my internal po...

---

It was lovely earlier but now it is overcast and the sky is full of glare. The neighborhood is full of marvelous tulips. I shall have to take my camera with me next time I go walking. This is t...
