~ Sweet Alyssum ~ In A Vase on Monday + WPC: Tiny 2 ~

Posted on November 14, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

When I was a young girl (before the advent of Barbie) I’d pick a blossom of sweet alyssum to serve as the bridal bouquet for my storybook dolls.

With its multitude of tiny blossoms, Lobularia maritima is easy to grow in sunny locations, and is a wonderful companion to many other perennials.

To see what’s blooming in other gardens, visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.

~ Walk On Water ~ Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny 1 ~

Posted on November 12, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

I’ve always been fascinated by water skippers (Gerridae Hemiptera), also known as water striders, water bugs and pond skaters. These fascinating bugs are built to transfer their weight so they can run on top of the water’s surface. They seem to be constantly on the move, so I was happy to get a shot that is in focus.

~ Seeking Solace in Nature ~ Skywatch Friday ~

Posted on November 11, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

The election of a man who has no business being President of the United States, has left me seeking internal balance. Everything he says and represents is antithetical to my belief system and core values. Though I know better than to retreat, taking a breather at the beach has helped me clear my heart, soul and mind. We will rise.

With apologies to r.d. laing

My dear, wise friend Judi Goldberg deserves a wider audience for this succinct parsing of now.

here.say.

Day 2

Day two of president elect Donald Trump. And playing out on a national level is the confusion of feelings and facts, by which I mean understanding reality based on ones feelings, and justifying ones actions based on feelings. Well, I mean the whole election was an example of that, but as my good friend Doug pointed out for at least the 150 times in the last year or so, we are a republic, not a democracy, and it’s not simply about majority rules. It’s about disagreement, and the push and pull and tug and scratch of the factions. And of course there was going to be push back against the what the fuck of all the changes that have seemingly been rammed down the throats of white men and women it can’t help but be said, who weren’t, aren’t ready. But, it is just another cycle and another…

Jane captures my feelings so well in her photos and post, I decided to share it. Thank you, Jane.

Just Another Nature Enthusiast

Yes, the sun did come up… But it’s raining in my soul.

I do take comfort in President Obama’s remarks:

We are all on one team. We are not Democrats first. We are not Republicans first. We are Americans first. We are patriots first… Go forward in good faith.”

I love my country and will stand by her. However, I do so with deep concerns for people here and abroad, and for the well-being of our shared – Earth.

Emotionally, I’m devasted.

~ Keep Out! ~ Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Signs of Any Kind ~

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

While walking Jello through Riverside Park in Spokane, Washington last month, I saw this lineup of signs and knew someday it would be perfect to post for one of Cee’s challenges!

This one caught my eye because of the juxtaposition of messages.

And my final entry is a reminder to respect mother earth.

~ Porcelain Berries ~ In A Vase On Monday ~

Posted on November 7, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Not much interesting blooming in my gardens right now, however these last few leaves and the lovely fruit of the porcelain berry vine caught my eye. They are in a small glass vase from a dear friend, placed on a favorite fabric table scarf.

Ampelopsis brevipedenculata

Thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for getting me out into the garden on a cool, overcast day!

~ Resourceful Possibility of Untidy Chance ~ WPC: Chaos ~

Posted on November 5, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

For this week’s photo challenge, Ben Huberman asks us to embrace “the creative potential of disorderly randomness.”

While walking at Longbeach last month, I saw this piece of metal in the distance. Approaching it, I noticed all the ocean-dwellers living on the concave surface and decided to take a photo. I set my cell on the sand and snapped this shot.

The subject and setting seem to fit the challenge:
creative (resourceful)
potential (possibility)
of
disorderly (untidy)
randomness (chance)

Chaos
