Up on the big hill this morning in the fog. The rain finally stopped, and it felt good to be out and moving. There was some flooding and evacuations out near the coast and the place we were at ...

---

We have a flood watch in play later today through Friday so this photo I took in the glorious sun along the river on Monday is a reminder that we will get through this patch. Today for the fir...

---

Just a photo from my morning walk. My favorite tulip poplar there on the right. Carry on. :)

---

This morning: that after Halloween feel in the neighborhood this early November. I took a little walk between rain squalls. Everything is all yellow and overcast out there with an unexpected bu...

---

I have only been to Hawaii once. It was lovely, the Big Island. At sunset every night near our resort area someone would blast classical music. I kind of felt like this one from Saturday night ...

---

Yesterday, midday, at the far end of the beach. The tide is high in the mornings, so my inner pony is having to wait for midday to walk. Well, and yesterday I taught the morning practice from h...

---

The planting next to the track across the big street yesterday in between rain squalls. Still, it was lovely to be out in the fresh air. And I was fully geared up getting ready for our trip to ...

---

This is the street I live on that my kitchen window and bedroom windows face yesterday morning as I was coming home from the garden for the next to the last time this season. I pulled everything...

---

Mrs. Sherlock had been riding over near here on Saturday and she wanted a flat not too ambitious walk on Sunday, so we went back on foot. This is a creek that runs through the southeast part of ...

---

This is another shot from “my” bus stop of the grocery I go to. I love the shape and color of the orange tree. This is the prime week here for gorgeous orange foliage. Thursday is my down day. ...

---

Except for walks and the occasional medical appointment and trips to visit Mrs. and Mr. Sherlock at home the only place I go anymore is the grocery. This is “my” bus stop this morning. The Orego...

---

There was much discussion of zinnias on our neighborhood walk today but I think this row of them along this fence line is perfect. We saw our first ripening pomegranates and persimmons of the ye...

---

I just like this picture, the composition. Neither the color nor the shape of the dahlia is my cup of tea (Carlo would love it, Carlo only wants to play with the pink toys), but the shape, vibra...

---

So here is one of the espaliered trees in natural light from last week. Other than straightening the shot slightly I didn’t adjust it in any way. I’d much rather go back and shoot again than man...

---

I took this Sunday morning on my walk with Mrs. Sherlock and Frieda. Mrs. Sherlock went away for just a few days last week to the beach with her bike buddies and apparently Frieda moped the whol...

---

Yes, it is another Dahlia. I admit it. We are coming to the end of their blooming cycle here. After a gorgeous clear fall day yesterday the clouds are in and we are all hoping the predicted rain...

---

Okay, I admit took this in 2005. Same exact time of year, same light, same fascination with other people’s gardens. All this time I have been looking and absorbing and thinking about garden desi...

---

I love this picture I took last week. I was kind of saving it for the Autumn Equinox, which I understand we make a bigger deal about here than those of you in the Southern Hemisphere. But the ra...

---

The aforementioned autumn crocus. I was able to teach both classes today and in the middle despite all the falderal with a late grocery delivery I was able to see a doctor. She thinks it is noth...

---

Let’s see, a choice between reading a 70 page well prepared .pdf from the League of Women Voters on local pesticide use or write a Prosebox post? I took this shot last Thursday walking along the...

---

Off the winding parkway up above my place there is this one patch of scrub hill. Over the years a desire path has appeared as a shortcut up to the hospitals. Then last February when we had the i...

---

Yep. Not Perfect, Permanent or Personal. If I go back today and try to retake this shot to get it lined up it won’t be the same. The stream of time has moved on and things have changed. Still, d...

---

Walking on Saturday up a part of a street in a nice neighborhood close in, I realized I had never seen this house before. It is up in the hills so it is a hike up there and we usually turn off t...

---

There is a house a few blocks away with a peace rose out front. I have been taking lovely, even sometimes stunning pictures of its various blooms over the years. The house is for sale by one of ...

---

The garden plot on Monday. The big excitement there with the tomatoes and the basil, the volunteer zucchini, and the marigolds, is that the Zinnia has a bud! I grew them from seed, and they have...
