Squirrelly

This little guy just stood there and posed for me. I think he was waiting for some peanuts.

Red-Headed Child

When I saw the red hair on this child I couldn't help taking pictures of her. She was beautiful and very full of it too. When she's older I think she will have many suitors.

One year in May, I spent time in Lake Tahoe, California. Each morning I would get up very early to see what I could see. The water would be very still and beautiful. You could tell that it wasn't quite the summer season, so many of the boats and such hadn't been maintained in a while. The yellow canoe along the fence was begging to be photographed.

All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

Mono Lake

Mono Lake (rhymes with "OH no") is the largest natural lake completely within the state of California. Once endangered when water feeding it was diverted toward the Los Angeles basin, it lost half its volume in the 40 years before an agreement was reached to save it. Today's Mono Lake is 7 vertical feet lower than the targeted level, and it could take well into the 2010's before it reaches that depth.

“Moody and withdrawn, the lake unites a haunting loveliness to a raw desolateness.”
Dale Morgan quotes

Odd Beauty

Sometimes you can find beauty in the most unexpected of places.

Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house. Alfred Hitchcock

Two Poppies

Even if you only find 2 poppies surrounded by dirt, it can look like a painting.

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world."

Blue Skies and Poppies

I love looking at poppies up close. They're so fragile, it's like you wonder how they survive in the harsh environment of the desert. That's the reason that there aren't many years like this. If it gets too hot once they bloom they die. There have been many years when I could only find a plant or two. The poppies are like me, they don't like the heat!

"If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom." ~Audra Foveo
