Musings

I spotted this squirrel when he/she was in a much better pose, but by the time I got in photographer mode, this was the offering. You can tell it’s a squirrel, not much more.

No story here.

Instead, I’m offering a deciduous magnolia bloom. A version of the usual…. No story here, either.

Man in tree! Man in tree!

This is the huge oak in the neighbors’ yard that looms over a half-dozen houses, including ours. A small crew took down a few scraggly limbs, chipped them (brrrrrrrBRRRRRR), cleaned up, and took off.

The oak still looms, and I will still fuss when it’s windy.

Look at this photo. Study it. Imagine yourself looking at this view, living this moment.

What do you feel?

Me, in that moment: happy. I smiled for real. Sunshine and daffodils are a powerful combination.

I’m postulating that the car and the adjacent camellia have a relationship, after all these years spending nights and many days together. In this vein, I’m guessing this is a delayed valentine bloom-gift from the plant to the vehicle.

Or something.

Aren’t plants amazing?

1) several ladybugs found in master bath, and left to their own devices.

2) one stinkbug, removed from inside the house.

Also, phone updated; watch updated. I always assume that updates in part address bugs.

With such a beautiful sky above, I had to look up, and found my eye drawn to the cones on the outer branches of this towering pine.

My walking philosophy today was wind-avoidance, so I stuck to hollows and behind houses. [This is a contrast to the vitamin D and sunshine routes of the recent past.] Not the prettiest, but I did find these.

Lots of rain-minutes today, although I could have found a few less-wet moments to make a wee walk. But I didn’t, so this fern-foto is from last week. Sometimes a day will have more pauses and recycling than forging forward.

I had four (or so) vague ideas for this space, yet they all fizzled…a fast timeline compared to the growth of lichens and mosses.
