The owl is still rehabbing; no progress but no decline either. I hope it gets to the point of recovery where release is possible but I'm wary of being optimistic.
Owl Rescue
A few days ago early in the morning I was on my way to the barn before work. Not far from home on a curvy road an owl was sitting in my lane of the road. I stopped, put on my flashers, and got out to see if it would try to fly from me. No, too stunned. I thought about picking it up in my bar...
Gorgeous scenery Fran!
The Canadian Rockies Update
Mary Lou and I continue our 12 day Road Scholar program. 2 days in Calgary, 3 days at Banff and environs. Today was spent at lake Louise area. Everything has been so spectacular that my breath is taken away in mostly reverent ways but some physical. I have long had knee and back problems, but my...
Lovely pictures. I think the young man is looking at a map!
Staying in the Now Moment in the Southern Sierra
At work today at Chadwick School, when I was sorting several years of digital photography into their proper categories, I ran across several marvelous photos taken on outdoor education trips over the years. This one is from the senior trip in 2004 and I don't know the person, but assume it is ...
Lovely post. I like that you celebrate Easter as a New Year for you!
Happy Easter From Redondo Beach, California
What a lovely day it has been so far! It began with services at Christ Episcopal Church just down the street from my home. After church, the annual egg hunt was held on the church lawns--and what a delight it was to see all the kids scurrying to fill their baskets. This Easter was th...
So pretty! I love the robin song.
The Day that the Robin Sang to Me
Narcissus 'Jetfire' It would have been a special day, yesterday, (as days wandering the Sir Harold Hillier Arboretum and Gardens always are for me), if it had only been for the explosion of springtime colour through the wintering brown earth. The bursting gold of the daffodils and narcissi, ...
Roz, you are right on with the comparison to Dame Judi.
I Always Hate My Photos--Until Now
Last night was the Palos Verdes Library District Peninsula Friends of the Library annual benefit to raise funds for library not available through the regular programming budget. I will post more about this in another post as it was a very unique event. Called "The Living Library," the evening fe...
You look wonderful, Fran. Your eyes really stand out!

It's interesting that the prevailing color of these hearts is blue. I wouldn't have expected that!
Variations on a Heart Theme for Valentines Day
Happy Valentines Day everyone. As a woman who lives alone, this particular holiday is not one I celebrate romantically anymore, though I admit I have some pleasant memories. The art teachers at Chadwick School had a Heart project for the high schoolers simply called Heart. Here are just a few o...
Thanks for stopping by Rochelle. I feel like I've finally turned the corner on this illness at Day 10. Hope to get out to do an easy backcountry tour this weekend to blow the pipes out, so to speak! Hope you are feeling better.
Sick
Recently I tempted fate (twice) by bragging that I hadn't been sick in a number of years when my mom complained that she was sick for the third time this season. Then I got a sore throat, a mild one, but I stayed home to be sure. It went away and I got on with my life. Then (you'd think I'd le...
I love the juxtoposition that Jesus did not want to refresh the wine supply and your remark that the wedding wine was awful!
Musings on the Renewal of Wedding Vows in Cana
Jesus first recorded miracle took place at the wedding feast in Cana. The wine was running out at the reception and Mary asked Jesus if he could intercede. He didn't want to, but he did. We had toured Cana, tasted Cana wedding wine (truly awful!), and then the married couples on the trip were in...
Beautiful bouganvillea!
My Favorite Shot of Malaga Cove
I have photographed the back side of the Malaga Cove Plaza hundreds of times over the years, but I never tire of this scene. For those of you who read here regularly, I have two separate paintings by local artists of this exact scene. Who needs to go to Europe when you have this practically in y...

It's the first time it's been warm enough to not wear a hat outside!
Easy Pass Ski 5-17-2009
We hadn't been up to ski North Cascades Pass since it opened early this month. Last week I tried with a friend but forecasted avalanche danger scared us away. Then I heard from another skier that the skiing was fine. Missed opportunity last weekend; wasn't going to let that happen again, espe...
