More Camino Scenes After a Computer Day

                                                    

The Weather Cooperated for Working on A Saturday


The keeper got to stay inside with us,
and we watched the  flowers soak up
the moisture and we watched her 
pound at the computer keys.

Thursday Camino into the dusk




The tulip looked like the x-ray of Oliver's lungs. 




Moon, Mountain, Lake


Bon Anniversaire #104!

Yesterday, April 26th, was our mother's birthday.
In fact, it was her 104th birthday!


Here she was--the baby, with her mother and Helen and Ruth.


Here she is in NYC near her apt in Greenwich Village.


Here she is with the keeper in Vancouver.


And here she is at our  beloved place in Cannon Beach


Bon anniversaire!

Camino til 8:30



How wonderful that it stayed light til almost 8:30 tonight.
Such beautiful light for an evening camino.

Earth Day Flowers


Last of the narcissi



Late blooming tulip tree


and yards full of tulips


and fields full of new grass and blue bells.



Keeper’s Earth Day Outing


She did not have to wear a harness.  
She just walked...and walked..
down to the lake.

Others had left Earth Day gifts.


Others took to the water.


Others enjoyed their gardens.

Oliver’s Earth Day Outing


The sun was out.  It was warm.
The keeper brought the harness out.
I realized this was my only ticket out.
I let her put it on.


Finally, the green grass and sun and birds, and scent of possum,
squirrel and that new dark gray cat.


I loved it.


I feasted like a cow on the new spring grass.


Then I was brought back in.
I hope we do this again soon.

Celebrating Sun pre-Sunset

Tonight we were fed and as we ate 
she slipped out for a pre-sunset camino.
What a difference a little sun can make.
The tulips, the layers of clouds, the lake, the mountain,
the spring green,
and even the slivery moon shines!
