With all the rain, Samson has been quite interested in the movement of water. It is official. I’ve become a bore with photos of my cat. He’s really Michael’s cat, not mine. He took all the photos. Just wanted to be clear. Does that make me less of a bore? Don’t answer that.
Rain in Three Rivers
Three Rivers got 9″ of rain in 10 days. This is phenomenal! We walked to the Dinely Bridge several times to check out the river. I can’t remember how many storms – one big one? a wave of storms? The early ones were warm and the river was very exciting. See that white stick on […]
Field Trip With Peculiar Sights
Happy Birthday, Louise!! Yeah yeah, I know I told you I’d be telling you about the newest coloring book. There’s too much to show and tell, and I don’t know how to best present it or condense it. Instead, I’ll show you some fun photos. This is how artists reload their mental files of raw […]
Want to go for a Walk?
Sometimes I go for walks. No, lots of times I go for walks. It is sort of assumed that when women want to hang out with friends that they go shopping and go out to lunch. Not this woman. I call a friend and say “Want to go for a walk?” It is one of […]
A Few Days Off Work
Finish the mural early, take one day off work, okay, why not two because I have company, oh go ahead, take three. I am the boss of me, and my boss gave me 3 days off last week. Why? Because I completed the mural one day early. 3 days off? How about a bonus? Never […]
Mineral King Road Lore
On the Mineral King Road there are 4 water troughs. Some years I think I will memorize the elevations and mileage markers. More realistically, I can remember their names and order of appearance. This one is called Trauger’s, after Mr. and Mary Trauger (what was her hubby’s name? She was the one everyone talks about!) […]
Trail Guy Climbs White Chief Peak
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 […]
Peculiar Sight
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 […]
Peculiar Sights
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 […]
Peculiar Sights
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 […]
