Toes in The Water

Last week I wanted to live in the mountains.
This week I want to live at the beach. Even if it rains.

What a great watercolor. I am a beginner in that art, but love and appreciate others work!!

Especially like how you made the wet beach with reflections... well done!

I could live at the beach easily... I didn't name my blog 'Loves Rain' for nothing!!

I love the beach, I missed it this year in France but hopefully the sun will shine on us here and we'll get a few day trips to the beach.

Lovely painting...you are very talented.

Ok, is it fair that some people are talented artists, talented photographers (that pic of Buttercup and the Kite is exquisite), talented writers...just talented. I guess so. I'm just happy I know where to find you...you talented lady.
Where are we going next week?

The beach is a great place to live. I lived in L.A. and I was 30 minutes from the ocean and now I am too far from the ocean. Atlanta.

Did you just paint that? I need to learn how to do water like you. Last week we were at both the beach and the mountains. I didn't want to come home. And it did rain.

Hey Ms Pamela, I was in Long Beach WA just last week. What beach did you visit?? Guess I was around your way wasn't I?

Very pretty!

I don't know if I could handle all the humidity near the beach. I thought it was terribly muggy today when we had 55% humidity!

Don't talk about rain or I will get a nervous breakdown ! It's still raining and cold over here if somebody talks about global warming I will kill him !

I want to live by the beach with some rainforest off to one side and some gentle rolling hills to the other.

I love that painting! And yes, the Oregon coast is nice, isn't it? But I don't think I'd choose to live there- too many overcast days make me feel dreary. But I am overdue for a coastal visit!
And I loved the little kite story below! :)

I miss the beach - your watercolor made me fondly recall visits to my parents over the years.

But I'm not sure I could give up the mountains...sigh.

And Willowtree must be disappointed in his dog tooth. :-(

Your post made me smile and long to be back at the beach in the middle of the rainy season. =)

Have a good weekend, Pamela!

I have just stumbled into your world. A woman who can appreciate dust... my kind of place.
I'll pop in again for a visit.

Your water color is a life vicariously lived. It is a lot easier than packing up an estate and moving it.

This is a beautiful painting.

Have you ever heard of Carolyn Blish? This scene is like some of her beach scenes...

Ice Can Look Nice

Image
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill,  a warm Chinook wind blew in.  It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that  Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling.  At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other.  Feed the birds ****

Fun Monday - Childhood Memories

Image
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...

Fun Monday

Quirky Lisa (Lisa's Chaos) is today's Hostess with the mostess quirks. She used the following instructions to enlighten us about today's topic: A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we are. I would like to know what your quirks are. Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more. Well ...I'm being as quirky as Swampwitch today. I'm sorta following the rules, and sorta not. Instead of hearing about my boring quirkiness, you are being treated to an old story about a quirky cat. * * * * Daggett was a cat with very odd behavior. I like to think she channeled my monthly mood swings. But, her excuse may be that her head was slightly injured in a c...
