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...

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
