Potential Inspiration
Living in Southern California, I can see how some of the plants inspired Dr Seuss. What do you see?
Myth Busted
Growing up in the Midwest, listening to rock and roll, and watching various movies and television shows, I held the following thoughts about California:
It never rains in Southern California
FALSE
The rainy season starts late in the year and continues into February.
That is, if we are going to get rain.
The sun shines every day
FALSE
Below is a photo of a normal May morning, commonly referred to as “May Gray”,
to be followed by “June Gloom”, which is more of the same.
People run and play in the ocean regularly (in swimming suits)
NOT ALWAYS TRUE
The Pacific Ocean is known to be cold, so enter at your own risk.
I find it humorous how the media can affect our beliefs. How many fantasies do you have which were created by media?
Lingering
The amaryllis season is coming to a close here.
Our white plants are late bloomers,
which allows us to enjoy their lingering beauty.
And, enjoy, we do!
Hobby or Habit
While reviewing old photographs, I found a large collection of sunset shots.
Do I take these photos as a hobby, or has it become a habit?
I never set out to build such a collection, yet I have many. And still, I frequently stop to snap a quick shot at the day’s end, adding yet another.
I never tire of sunsets.
The day’s end
The gift of a sunset
Given the opportunity
It’s a time to stop
Appreciate beauty
Reflect on the day
Savor the quiet
Unwind
Relax
This luxury is all possible simply because the Earth
revolved one more time around the sun.
Ambiance
Evening dinner at Solana Beach Fish House. Hubby says they have the best “fish & chips,” me, I enjoy their grilled fish tacos. Yummy food, lovely evening.
Sweetness
Late afternoon walk on the land
finds us checking new growth on plants,
contemplating irragation schedules.
The orange globes dot the tree.
We know, soon they will be ready
for harvest.
Suddenly the air around is filled with
heavenly perfume. The little white
stars of the tree are releasing their fragrance.
Orange blossoms, with the promise of
next year’s fruit, fill the air with the
scent of sweet perfume.
We forget all else as this lofty
scent fills us up. A great promise of
hope and good things to come.
Such a welcome treat for us.
A reminder to savor the
natural gifts of each day.
