View behind (what is the structure in lower right?)
She tows me uphill
And argues with other dogs,
My leading wrist hurts.
View to right
At the top
Slate, limestone? Cement, brick
Garden that used to be a model village: part of Ilfracombe Arts Tour. I love that gardening is considered an art
Torr Park Devon Coast Trail: can the hive mind ID these spring wild flowers?
Violets
Stuart Allison Looks like a wild onion - did it smell like an onion? If not an onion, then a lily of some kind.
Buttercup
One of the docks - Rumex sp. (SA)
Per Barb: armeria or sea thrift
Goat's beard - perhaps (SA)
Cow parsley? Dandelions gone to seed

Hawthorne

Bluebells and celandine in man made cleft

2018
Posed before the sun,
Branches outlined...but the leaves.....
They are so sparkly.
Just wandering around Ghost Ranch
Sunset walk on the restricted road
4 horns! And 2 ears...all squished together
There’s a reason my home is called the farmhouse!
The wind-shimmering 
Sparkling leaves caught my eye. 
I smiled back at them.
Walking the labyrinth before dinner
Cactus at base of Pack Memorial.
2016
I get off from work
At the golden sunset hour:
Color limns the clouds
2013
Intense dream sequences:
Old friends and new beginnings.
Now there's work to do.

Fight at the feeder:
Prismatic purple feathers,
Long thin beaks: hummers!

2012
We listen to birds,
Walking along the creek, at
Trillium Hollow.
2010
Early morning is
Really quite pleasant indeed...
Occasionally.

Fresh coffee in hand,
Rameau on the radio...
All days should start thus.

2009

2019 Waiting for the shadow to move Motel nursery: They wanted to be with Mom (It may freeze tonight) #crazyjuneweather 2016 Streaks of lightning Bisect the skies while the winds Bring the scent of sage. 2015 Wild plants wild medicine class One of these puffballs Is part of a huge mushroom. I made eggless quiche. It's water hemlock , A deadly poison. The horse Nibbles around it. 2014 They mated, hatched and flew. The left-behind shell still clings. It's a metaphor. 2010 The dam was breaking, We sought high spots. I wake, fogged. Perched, the cat's grooming. The bus commute is So much more pleasant today. School's....out...for...summmer!

2019 Droitwich Appeals that succeed: Who could resist this sweet face? Plus, it stops the barks. This is a public footpath, leading straight to the Hadley Bowling Green Inn, my walk’s destination At this point the path disappears: I take the tractor road skirting the field I was covered in tiny burrs after pushing through this hedge Here I get locally made ice cream I take the road back Droitwich flowers Sweetest scent ever climbing a British hedgerow 2018 I’m buying ice cream “Thank you for eating healthy” The cashier tells me. Progression of a storm: we watch clouds piling up, enjoying the play of light on the rocks. Back at the library, we hear the rain and thunder. Then....hail?! And a heavenly scent of bruised plants. My poor Forester is out in it, hood open to keep the pack rats at bay. Minor flooding. So far. It’s been going on for an hour. Ice is melted, but rain pours down still. So much for sunset kayaking. 2017 See separate post for all the Huntingdon Garden pix.  I...

2020 There is no sorrow That can’t be soothed by a fire And a hammock chair 2019 White Sands Early sandy morn A deep stillness swallows sound I see a small fox 2017 "it's just a bad ball," Comments the calm, quiet voice. I'm not watching golf. Old boy Chip and I Both wanted to doze inside. Young pup dragged us out. At the cricket pitch, Modern day circle of stones On the windy hill. The hill ponies leave, So we take a look around. It's a bit smelly. 2015 Taos hosts Meow Wolf Spider: Market behind him, Striding towards Taos Mountain; Can't he smell chilis? 2014 For a year I've passed a rustic sign, posted on Hwy 14: "Potter, 400 yds," with an arrow pointing west. Finally followed the arrow, and discovered New Mexico's Best Potter for 2014. Wonderful work, both art sculptures and functional pieces.
