Singing Along the Journey

Color and seeds and color…

More surprises from the hood. I have always thought this was a Japanese maple, a large one, but the little seed things look like oak. But they are not, it is indeed a Japanese maple (which I know thanks to Google image search). Notice the use of highly botanical language here (not). Anyway, I'm amazed at the color shading...I respond to color. And this definitely caught my eye...

To the birds…again

It was a good morning for birds...side benefit of going back to the earliest walk time possible (because of the heat). Finally got a picture of this beautiful catbird...not too many of them in the neighborhood. Now, if my brain could just stop making sentences about finally being in the catbird seat. Yes, you can tell that it is hump day. And still hot.

Suprises still possible…and welcome

Nice to know that my surroundings can still surprise me, now, in month 17 of my morning walks. How many times have I walked past this tree? 100's? And never once did I realize that it was an apple tree. Never. Once. But today I did. And the lesson for me is this: look hard at what you think is usual...you never know what surprises you might find.

The color of earth…

Today, more lilies, and the arrival of my hydrangeas. What I love about hydrangeas is this...it doesn't matter what you think you have planted, the minerals in the soil determine the flowers that you see. This, believe it or not, is supposed to be a deep blue flower. Creation had a different idea. So Monday it is. What about you is determined by your soil, and how have you made beauty from it anyway?

Summer time…

Well, this morning feels like summer. Not in that yucky swampy way of a DC summer, but in the more livable cool breeze after a thunderstorm but yea it is hot kind of a way. The birds were pretty happy, especially this guy who posed quite awhile for me while I captured the moment. Hope the weather is kind wherever you are.

Tomatoes and roses…

I have decided today that rainy days and Mondays, in fact, do not always get me down. And that the most delicate (and green) among us can survive, nay thrive, with just a little bit of shelter from the sun and a gentle rain. I can't help but humming a bar or two of my favorite, Pink Martini's Hang on Little Tomato. Offer some shelter or some healing water today if you can, both to yourself and to the world around you. And, hang on, by all means.
