Yesterday these three blooms brightened the morning and again today are poised to make for an “Aloha Friday.” For more about Aloha Fridays, see https://youtu.be/Lx-Pr9WHRmM. Happy thoughts to end the week. #alohafriday #orchids

Passing Glass
Fill them up and pass them around, nothing beats passing the glasses of wine while playing games. Also, nothing like wine beats the sting of being throughly trounced at the game of fast track by the “weaker sex” seven games to three after being ahead three to zero. Pass another glass! #wine #fasttrack #glass
Tropical Tray
This happy memory of places and people we know rests atop the buffet in the main dining room. Someday we will return again to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and even better, reconnect with the beautiful people we know there. #grandcayman #caribbean #sevenmilebeach #pureartgallery
Fungal Fam
In a well watered yard they are popping up like, well, themselves. They start as little white balls, then flatten out overnight, drop their spores and then fade away. But the mushroom fungus is not really gone, for these toadstools are mere projections from fibers of the main fungal body that exists extensively beneath theContinue reading “Fungal Fam”
John Day Dam
Over three decades ago we took the Fairy Boat, our 26-foot Bayliner, on a trip down the Columbia River from Kennewick, Washington, to Hood River, Oregon, which involved locking through three dams including the John Day Dam shown above. We had entered the upstream side of the lock 110 feet higher than we were whenContinue reading “John Day Dam”
Feathered Friends
Spring has come and a young hawk’s mind turns to–well it isn’t exactly spring training. There are at least two mating pairs of these hawks in our neighborhood; one pair with a nest located one street over from us and another nesting in the tree in our front yard. Their intention of hatching and raisingContinue reading “Feathered Friends”
Crossroads in the Sky
The sky has its own roads traveled day and night carrying passengers across the country. These two contrails marked a crossing of these roads by planes separated by minutes and many miles, yet they left their tracks temporarily framed by trees from our point of view. I wish their travelers well. #contrail #airlines #passengers #intersection
A Fairy Tale
This was the beginning of the flight of my life. It was March, 1971, and I was ready to depart the farm near Lexington, Nebraska, to go to Lincoln and then on to Mineral Point Wisconsin a day or two later in the EAA Biplane that was built by my dad. Though temperatures hovered justContinue reading “A Fairy Tale”
Guardian Gator
This 8-10 foot long alligator appeared from seemingly nowhere near the margin of the lake. It commanded our attention as it appeared to guard the waters below, and we were quite happy to be on a boardwalk high over the water rather than walking a trail by the water’s edge. #alligator #boardwalk
Our Lady of the Cypress
This appears to be natural sculpting by the bark of the cypress tree, not a carving, but if someone actually modeled for this woody sculpture, they definitely have had too much collagen injected into their lips. #cypress #silversprings
