Our Mom made almost all of our clothes when we were kids. This was Easter, 1964 before church. I was smiling for my Dad, but I guarantee you that I was thinking about ditching those clothes post-church. #dailypicturetheme #skirt

Today is Dolores Huerta's 94th birthday. She has given her life to lifting up marginalized communities. Dolores is also the source for Barack Obama's "Si se puede!" ("Yes we can!")

I'm in a #hurry to recognize as many women as possible during #WomensHistoryMonth . Here's one of the related #collages of Texas Gov Ann Richards, one of my personal icons. #dailypicturetheme #SpoutibleMakes

I created this in response to Trump's buffoonery in 2015. He was belittling people OUT OF THE GATE. Media said, "no worries, he's no threat; he'll have guidance. Bullshit. He's a hateful, belligerent, weak, insecure individual.

Could you hate this intellectually empty, superficial POS any more than you already do. Here, he's talking about DA Willis.

I'm a CPA, retired from healthcare admin in hospitals; more time in them with family. Before my teen son died, he said, "I'll speak to you through your art." That blew my mind then & still does. Creating art is a #cure for my overactive mind. #dailypicturetheme @DailyPictureTheme

Circular analogue collage depicting home and family scene. Watercolor scraps, vintage photo, washi, dried flower from my yard, vintage photo card backing.

I just finished Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine. It was so good and I highly recommend it, especially to anyone employed in healthcare--admin or frontline workers. I followed Uche Blackstock on the bird app; she would be great to have here.

Here’s my current read since I finished up The Trials of Koli last night. I have my next three reads already selected as well. Do you like to plan out your reading a few books out? #BookSpout #BibliophilesOfSpoutible #NerdsOfSpoutible

This is a photo of the #pure power of weapon systems taken by my dad at White Sands Missile Range in the 1960's. He was able to bring photos home after they were declassified. I was interested in his work at Dept of Defense; he later taught me to use a camera. #dailypicturetheme @DailyPictureTheme

#DailyPictureTheme #Restore @DailyPictureTheme
Anytime I need to destress, I can usually just walk out to my back patio to #restore my sanity. Today was no exception. Southern California is expecting major rains for the next few days, and clouds are gathering.

View of a very blue sky dotted with small, uniformly-shaped, puffy, white clouds grouped closely together. They look similar to cotton batting with intermittent breaks The bottom quarter of the scene is the edge of a golf course.

Danny was 12 when he relapsed w leukemia for the 1st time. He'd been through testicular radiation & was told at this tender age that he would never have children. He kept a positive attitude, learning college level Japanese by age 14. #brave #DailyPictureThem @DailyPictureTheme

#DailyPictureTheme #Respite @DailyPictureTheme
My respites are nature and art, and frequently the two are combined. I used to work as a CPA in healthcare admin. Last job I was VP and CFO of a hospital. What a relief to get outside everyday, even though it was dark!

I did a similar beach #cheer on my birthday a few yrs ago in Laguna Beach, CA. Unfortunately I jumped on stone instead of sand. Not a great move for the ankles. 😂 #DailyPictureTheme @DailyPictureTheme

Barbara Boxer came up earlier this morning. She was my senator and when we first met, I was surprised at her tiny stature. She cracked jokes about stepping up on a "box" to reach the podium. I have never seen her hesitate to dispense #crisp remarks on wide-ranging topics. #DailyPictureTheme

I have been a praying person and was raised by praying parents. But never once did I throw my hands up in prayer and expect God to act on my behalf while I went and took a nap. God is not a vending machine. There's nothing I hate more than politicians who offer prayer instead of solutions.

My son took this photo of me on the Edna Spaulding trail near Rancho Santa Margarita, California. It's one of many trails that we can #hike close to home to see wildflowers, birds, streams and occasionally prey animals. #PhotoOfTheDay Dec 28

When I think of the Madonna and child in any form, I think of #grace . This is a digital adaptation of a painting I sold, "Metro Madonna" acrylic on paper. (More detail in Alt Text) #PhotoThemeofTheDay

Multi-colored orb with Madonna and child at the center in a modernist style. Colors are vibrant blues, golds, purples and white. The circles expand into ribbons and ripples of color. The original piece sold to my college roommate and her husband who is a retired Brigadier General in the Army. The cool thing is that they ended up stationed at Ft. Bliss El Paso Texas (where I'm from) and their home brought in many dignitaries.

Yesterday, this was a #blank canvas. Today, it's a Christmas Love Letter to My Siblings. (Who else is a middle kid?) #PhotoThemeoftheDay #collage

Collage with several layers: Bottom layer is painting with yellow sky effect and brown grounding, hearts and other ephemera added. 1938 map of El Paso is an added layer to the "sky". Next are figures of the three siblings from archival prints in the 1970's--two girls and one boy. Girls are tanned teens with long brown hair; the boy is about 5, wearing cowboy boots with hands in his pockets. They are grouped off to the right in the picture plane.
