About four years ago I saw that I was developing a bunion on my right foot. I didn’t really understand what they were at that point. I knew Kes was concerned that her feet didn’t seem to her to ...

Late yesterday I had my skin check. It has been three years since they removed the malignant melanoma and I am all clear. Clear enough that I don’t have to get naked and checked so often. My nex...

This will be the first time since I started teaching yoga that I am taking a short break. I have taken a few classes off because of the weather or surgery during the 3 ½ years but never a whole ...

It’s a pumpkin! Very cool to see them growing in my neighborhood. I just took this on my midday walk. As I was walking I was listening to a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita called “The Essence o...

Yes I know it is a little blurry. There wasn’t much light and it was starting to drizzle on Friday when I took this at the upper part of the park above the track. Kes and Most Honorable are at t...

This was my beloved former gym and track across the big street on the 25th of September last year. This is it today. I tried to get the same shot but there is a fence all around the areas being...

This is a current view from the edge of the vacant lot next door to one of the houses down at the end of the dead end block that my place fronts on. It is pretty green considering that we are mo...

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 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 ...

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...

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 ...
