Cirrus clouds often herald a change in the weather. This wispy cloud seems to dance across the blue, morning sky like a sprit celebrating springtime. #springtime #sprite #dancing #cloud #cirrus

Gift from the Heart
Broken ceramic shards came together again to form an artistic steppingstone made for us by a friend we have cherished for half a century. It brought back memories of warm days together in southern California, cool, crisp mornings in British Columbia, of the Akolkolex River, and picking huckleberries in the Selkirk Mountains. No foot shallContinue reading “Gift from the Heart”
Pasture Eyes
Cattle and horses shared the sunshine and grass on this tranquil pastoral scene as we drove by. Even though I had just seen the ophthalmologist and my vision was still blurry, the serenity of the view couldn’t get past my eyes. #cattle #horses #pasture #eyes #pastoral #sunshine #grass
Bye Bye Evening Star!
The bright “Evening Star,” Venus, in the western sky just after sunset, is about to disappear. Through binoculars or telescope it will appear as an ever-thinning crescent, and in less than two weeks, it will set with the sun and not be visible in the evening skies until the beginning of 2026. It will appearContinue reading “Bye Bye Evening Star!”
Sunshine after Rain, Again!
Another cold front breezed through dropping heavy rain for about 10 minutes. Then ragged clouds raced by as branches of nearby trees heaved back and forth in the gusting wind. Later in the afternoon the sky cleared, and rays from the lowering sun sent sparkles of light through the bottles in the west-facing window withContinue reading “Sunshine after Rain, Again!”
Hawaiian Eye
On return to Florida, I discovered this budding pineapple bloom winking at me like an eye from one of our plants. It is a descendant of pineapples obtained from Hawaii, and we look forward to seeing more in the other plants soon. #pineapple #bloom #hawaiian #winking
Well Seated
It doesn’t matter if it’s right side up or upside down, any chair is fair game for this orange, furry, seat thief. He especially likes any chair that a human just vacated, especially if that human had intended to return to that seat. Try explaining to him that you wanted that seat back, and heContinue reading “Well Seated”
Two Crescents
Both the Moon and Venus graced the evening sky Sunday evening, and through a telescope Venus appeared as a thin crescent just like the Moon, only thinner. This is the last time that they will both be seen in the evening sky together this year. By March 22, Venus will be aligned with the SunContinue reading “Two Crescents”
Cherries and a Kiss
Cherry blossoms sweeten the scene over the vineyards at Elk Cove Winery in Oregon, like an “angel’s kiss in spring.” (Quote from the song “Summer Wine” written by Lee Hazelwood) #cherryblossoms #angelskiss #vineyard #elkcovewinery #spring
Catkins
The marsh along the road showed signs of the season as soft, furry blossoms of the pussy willow, known as catkins, burst forth. Yay! Spring is on its way and the appearance of such blooms is really the “cat’s meow!” #pussywillow #blossoms #spring #catsmeow
