#DailyPictureTheme #caution
These signs pop up frequently along local beaches after rains. Use #caution when visiting these places where the rivers meet the pacific. Farm runoff and an abundance of migratory water fowl contribute to our beautiful wild beaches being among the most unhealthy in CA.

This baroque faux #pearl necklace was bought for me by a favorite aunt in a small antique shop on Long Beach Island in NJ. They were a Miriam Haskell design from the 50’s.

This is Bambi, my 13 year old Chihuahua.
This morning she peed on the carpet when I wasn’t quick enough to open the glass door and let her out. Second time this week.
I would never dream of hurting her.
Shoot and kill a 14 month old dog.
Poor angel.
That is fucked up.😡😢

#DailyPictureTheme #free
Trying to #free myself of anxiety,
I found surprising comfort in untangling a ball of yarn which turns out to be an appropriate metaphor for untangling fears and feelings over my daughter’s family breaking up.

I #sit on a downed redwood stump here as Widow Creek meets the Mad River just before she joins the Pacific Ocean.
Salmon jump, seal colonies swim, Egrets hunt, and Eagles soar.
It’s a beautiful nature #sit .

#DailyPictureTheme #spell
This is the sign my six year old grandson wrote yesterday after a very good beach combing morning.
He gets a little help to #spell crystals, but the rest is him.
He washed, measured and priced his rocks, and set them out on a table.
No takers🤷♀️😄😎

I am grateful for the local #tax that is used to support public lands.
This is from the Arcata Marsh, lush with walking trails and migrating species. We are also fortunate to have a National Park, State Parks thousands of acres of National Forests.

The root system of an ancient Spruce knocked down by a stormy #gust of wind last year.

#DailyPictureTheme #hearth
For twenty plus years we lived in SoCal in a great home with two stone fireplaces. I spent many hours warmed by their #hearth .
Now we’re in NorCal where it’s cool enough for a fire everyday:
No #hearth😢 , but fake light and heat.
