While I was working in Wilsonia, Trail Guy was climbing White Chief Peak. Off trail stuff doesn’t suit me with my lack of depth perception, so I am always a little relieved when I don’t have to go with Trail Guy on these more adventuresome excursions. See the peak on the left? with the flat [...]

One recent afternoon my husband called me into the living room to see something. I could tell from the sound of his voice that I should hurry and bring a camera. (25 years of marriage teach all sorts of non-verbal communication.) Outside our living room we have a ladder leading up to the roof. I [...]

Last week I took a break in the middle of the day. Yes, I know I should have been drawing. It was a spectacularly difficult week with 5 Bad Things to face, so I went for a walk, okay? Alrighty then. I was just boppity-bopping along, enjoying the January sunshine, contemplating matters of consequence, praying [...]

Back in the days when I walked a lot of miles, I photographed and showed you a series of what I called “Peculiar Sights” in Three Rivers. (A central California artist has to find her amusements wherever she can!) Plantar fasciitis takes a very long time to heal, and now, with the help of an [...]

Kind of just warms your heart, no? This one is even better! It is my personal favorite. This man would rather be climbing [...]

When one frequents the same routes, one comes to accept the sights as normal. I’ve been walking across the Dinely Bridge [...]

Yesterday Michael and I took a stroll down to the bridge to see the river. It was peaceful, not too slimy and slow for October. But wait! What is that?? Someone has been stacking rocks! Now that is a peculiar way to spend one’s time. Good thing I got the photo yesterday, because this morning [...]

One day I was just speeding along my walk, minding my own beeswax, trying to keep up the pace, and WHAM! I threw on the brakes and went marching up to the kitchen window of some friends’ house because I recognized my own paintings! Just kind of surprised me – like unexpectedly seeing the face [...]

In Mineral King there are some critters called “marmots”. (Every letter is pronounced unlike “merlot”) To the untrained eye, they appear to be cute. To those in the know, they are a PAIN. In late spring and early summer they have a peculiar habit of chewing on wires and hoses in cars. They like radiator [...]

Here is a saxophone player: I don’t know what this guy is doing, but he certainly is peculiar.
