A video of me, singing along with one of my original songs while I spin around in a chair… and no, I don’t know why either…

Clearing some photos off my phone… Birds, dogs, a cat and a moon…

Just random pictures I took this week… or last week. I saw the same scruffy grey hawk three days in a row.

That is not a usual thing.

And I don’t know what kind of hawk it is. A young Ferruginous Hawk?

I like hawks.

There are three dogs and a cat sleeping in that photo. This is also not a usual thing.

The same cat. She was sleeping with her face resting in a scented candle, until I tried to take a picture.

A full moon and some clouds.

Just to round things off… HA!

Another daughter through college… sort of…

This is why we fixed up the yard. Mollie graduated with her degree in nursing studies with a focus on disabilities.

So proud… now we just need to pay for med school… sigh.

My daughters are way smarter than I am.

Life could be worse.

Two thumbs up, little Mollusk!!!

Oh yeah.

That look… again…

Serious photo.

Not so serious photo.

Mollie is almost as good with kids as me. HA!

But they still love me more.

Maybe.

It is hard to say.

But any photo of Mollie and my little buddy Olivia is nice.

Yeah yeah, we love their parents too.

Why; a photographic prequel…

Why did we go to such time, effort, and expense to put new grass in our backyard?

Why are there decorations and fancy tables?

Why are all my tikis set out?

Why are there uplifting quotes on the fence?

Why is there a sparkly curtain set up?

Why did we rent a margarita machine?

Why is there so much good food?

Why are there cupcakes?

And why is my best little buddy Olivia all dressed up?

Details to follow.

Just a beach…

Just a beach, in Southern California. Backlit waves curling in the sun.

The Pacific Ocean, looking both warm and inviting, and yet still awesomely powerful.

Foam glistening and writing in the light.

A setting as calm as a formal garden, and as wild as a jungle.

La Jolla in the distance.

There were people there, enjoying the late afternoon.

Mollie and her boyfriend Ben were there.

That cool bird was there. Is that a Lesser Egret?

The moon was there.

But mostly, the ocean was there.

And the endless rhythm of the waves.
