She’s Got Everything She Needs…
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...
Pear Tree Oh So Pretty With Sun
This is one of the three pear trees behind my place. What is remarkable here in this shot I took Sunday afternoon is the late light. We have this blissful glorious light and that creates shadows...
A Curious Thing
Remember when I was talking about how sexy our mountain is? I took this a few hours ago up on Terwilliger behind my place. The views here are so dependent on where one is. It can seem huge 20 fe...
So Not Complaining
We had a couple of days of very dramatic overcast skies with rainsqualls now and then but today it has cleared again. The trees are blooming! We are three weeks early even for us. Every year I c...
Auntie Noko
I almost but don’t quite feel guilty that we have had a run of beautiful clear but cold for us days. The light is shifting from harsh winter to soft glorious spring. Mt. Hood yesterday afternoon...
Hard Labor and My Favorite Dress
Although we had some complicated gray skies with layers and layers of clouds on part of the trip up to Seattle, the trip home was spectacular. The most beautiful trip down that I-5 corridor I ha...
Cat Talk
Carlo and Diego are very excited because their uncle Most Honorable is coming to visit this evening. As I have mentioned before my brother-in-law Most Honorable was clearly a cat in a recent for...
Some Firsts and Some Sweet Ease
This is Sauvie Island, one of the biggest river islands here in these United States. We were out there for almost five hours on Saturday and it was so beautiful. First foggy but then shortly it ...

If you are an astute reader here, and you all are, you will notice something remarkable about this picture I took this morning out in the Columbia River Gorge on a trail above the Bonneville Dam...

Can We Turn Umbrellas in to Parasols? Please?
It is raining. It has been raining. It is supposed to rain until at least next Wednesday. While last year this time it was snowing, here now underneath it all early spring is unfolding. Crocus...
Teaching the Cats to Spell…?
It is not every day you get a letter from your cats so I thought I’d share. :) It turns out that in spite of the call from Seattle Repertory Theater saying that they would not include Miss E. in...
So Grounded
Could this gorgeous young woman in the ever so short dress be Miss E.? Yes, and I apologize for the blur. There were three other girls over getting ready with her for their annual Winter Ball. T...
What It Is
First Hill, Seattle. Saturday morning. It will clear later then the rain is moving back in for a good solid week, but at least it will warm up a bit. This trip up to be with my family and to tak...
Learn By Doing
So last year about this time I found a snowman on this patch of exposed historical pavement down on the cul-de-sac under the tram line I walk under most days when out and about getting my activi...
The Sanctuary of Openness
I took this today. We are having the strangest weather. I bet everybody on this planet can say that right now to some extent. Really, what we had this morning was not fog, it was cloud, cloud at...
On the Other Side
This is the hallway on the next to the top floor of The Sorrento Hotel in Seattle that I stayed in last spring when I saw my older sister for what turned out to be the last time. We stayed in th...
Quiet and Comfortable
My eldest sister loves old buildings as much as she cares for any person. She is fascinated by the history, every detail of the history of how they came to be. There are amazing stories baked in...
Hanging In There
My oldest sister is hanging in there. She had a rise in blood pressure last night and her heart remains strong. She was able to squeeze Kes’s hand at one point. Everybody is exhausted and heada...
Hewing Hope
I know, it is the middle of winter…so why am I posting these starkly beautiful pear blossoms? I walked by this tree a few hours ago. The branches are completely bare, preparing for the new life ...
Where Ere
This is a bald eagle looking for lunch in winter. Many of them are taking turns sitting on eggs now. I took this out at Sauvie Island. I am going to see today if I can go birding out there next ...
From the Mundane to the …
