September 5 2020

Gorgeous walk yesterday morning.

September 8 2020

It finally cleared enough for a walk. Lillian’s choice: Our old neighborhood, with a refreshing cool breeze. Bonus: We got to see a cormorant in bat pose! Cormorants and pelicans are two of my favorites.

I am good tired this afternoon. A swim this morning and then a lovely hike to Tamarack Lake with beautiful people. Thank you Fran, Melinda, and Barbara. And to the four legged fur friends you brought along …. Stella, Hank and Boo. Deeply grateful for being invited with you ladies. Nature’s beauty is magnificent.

Sunset Walk with Dolphins While the Thunder Cracks in the Early Morning

August 18 2020

Sunset walk with Lillian. Last cloud photo looks like a dolphin.

August 25 2020

We had a cracking loud thunderstorm in the wee hours Monday morning. Woke me up with how loud, with bright lightening that lit the entire room. Woke Lillian on three different occasions, too. Thomas didn’t wake, but the cracking, booming sounds incorporated into his dream! It was wild!

So happy for it, though. As it cleared the smoke and I was able to go for a walk Monday morning and this morning.

August 27 2020

Yay for the smoke having cleared!! Went for a long walk this morning.

Walks of Love With a Wild Sunset While Being Hot and Humid

August 15 2020

After dinner walk with Lillian last Thursday. Love these walks.

August 16 2020

Wild sunset last night. Sounds like it was mostly due to a raging fire in northern California.

August 18 2020

Morning walk. Whew! Humid and hot. The rain yesterday afternoon was refreshing. Needed more though.

Wonderful Walks With Clouds and Thorny Sunsets While the Ornamental Grass Glows

August 9 2020

There were many wonderful walks, clouds and sunsets during the two week stay at home vacation and social media break.

Sunset walk with Lillian.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of roses.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of thorns.
Sometimes I know exactly where I’m going.
Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.
Yet, the walks I take, the scenes my eyes frame, the photos I take, being in nature, always brings peace and comfort.

August 13 2020

Wonderful early morning walk. I love these lil fuzzy ornamental grasses. They glow in the sunlight.

Soul Food with a Smoky Sunrise Alongside Ornamental Grass

July 21 2020

A lovely walk early this morning. Soul food.

July 23 2020

Sunrise walk this morning. Fire in the Virginia Foothills this morning. It was contained in a new construction area, but seemed to take a while to get fully out. They were still working on it, when I got home from the grocery store at 10:00.

July 24 2020

Early morning walk. Love this lil fuzzy ornamental grass.

July 25 2020

Sunset last night.

The Beauty of Spooner Lake With an Art Showing of Clouds and Rare Purple

July 12 2020

Amazing socially distanced hike around Spooner Lake, organized by Tahoe Herbivores. Walked a couple of miles, sat for lunch, and then another mile. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. My first time here, so lots of photos.

July 16 2020

Cloud update. These are from yesterday afternoon. It seriously feels as if we’re at an art showing, with nature changing the art every few seconds.

July 16 2020

Spotted on the morning walk. I rarely see purple ones. Gorgeous!!!

This cutie pie has her first bloom! Yay!!

Flock of Pelicans With Magical Wind Clouds While Almost Playing Tennis

June 15 2020

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a flock of pelicans flying overhead. There were about 15 of them. It was beautiful! I’ve seen a few in the lakes around here. Just not that many. (Absolutely horrible photos, but I couldn’t resist sharing.)

June 15 2020

Incredibly windy walk with Thomas this afternoon. Still beautiful. Still magical.

June 18 2020

Thomas and I had a beautiful walk at a park we visited many times when he and Lillian were younger. We’d planned on hitting tennis balls around, but the court was occupied. Next time.

June 19 2020

The sky and clouds last night. I mean. Who else saw it? Magnificent.
