Heresy and Rockroses in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Roses Next on the Flower Clock in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Revisiting An Old Hotel and Other Relationships in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Rentry in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Dipping In to Say Hello in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Happy Earth Day in Everyday Ramblings
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...
On Belonging in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Breaking Open in Everyday Ramblings
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 ...
Texture Shape and Cat in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Vacant and Full of Energy in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Pretty in Pinkish White in Everyday Ramblings
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...
A Formatting Insight and Brunch in Everyday Ramblings
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...
More Borders -Tulips in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Brief with Blossom (s) in Everyday Ramblings
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...
Testing Borders in Everyday Ramblings
I've been working on frames and borders for my pictures. The compression makes the picture seem blurry and it is not really. Not at full size at least. This is the one thing I have really wan...
That's a Fact, Jack in Everyday Ramblings
There is a steady rain today. If we have a break later I will run out back with my camera and take some pictures of the delicate white blossoms on the three decorative pear trees up there. Th...
Results (But it is a Secret) in Everyday Ramblings
Whoa. How did it get to be Friday already? I like the shapes in this picture I took a few days ago. First my work phone (it still isn’t working) and now my beloved personal laptop is acting w...
Insight with Tulips and Cat in Everyday Ramblings
We had a break in the rain for part of the day today and the light has been shifting throughout from drizzle and heavy cloud cover to glorious sunbreaks and blue sky. The tulips are just coming...
Figure It Out For Yourself -You're On Your Own in Everyday Ramblings
It still is a wonder to me that the leaves do come back each year just in time to shade us from the more intense light. Or here, where light is often a rare commodity, shade us from the gloomy ...
Adding Self Care Into the Mix in Everyday Ramblings
We are returning here to a more normal weather pattern, which includes regular rain for the foreseeable future. I took this shot three weeks ago at our first birding class. It looks just like t...
Over the Wild Wide Open Field in Everyday Ramblings
On our third and final Beginning Bird II class yesterday we staged here at this mighty oak. You can tell it was a beautiful spring day just by the quality and quantity of the light. :) That mad...
Bathing in the Beautiful Light in Everyday Ramblings
Happy Equinox! Happy light at just the right angle. May you have something resembling light no matter what hemisphere you are in. I admit that I am a little restless about the fact that it stil...
Practice (Embedding a Video Link) in Everyday Ramblings
So this morning much to my surprise because I am tired and worried about my sister this song started going through my mind... I have only heard it twice before so obviously it made an impression ...
My Favorite Time of the Year in Everyday Ramblings
This may look like a boring old late winter wetland field but on Saturday we saw the most amazing things in and over it. :) A pair of Northern Harriers (they used to be called Marsh Hawks) re...
A Bit Challenging in Everyday Ramblings
Every day out there spring is barreling through. My bird feeder has gone quiet and it seems very early to me. The song birds are nesting. It still gets cold at night. Just a few days ago I was ...
