Reflection on the World in the Meadow
reflections on women's freedom and rights
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #womensrights #healthcare
Photo by Scott Hunter
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
When out and about with Guthrie by myself, I find my mind wandering to how I feel about the world. I feel less free, that much is for sure.
My mom didn’t drive. One reason is because we didn’t have a car for years. My dad was able to use one of the “company” cars where he worked. She also took in ironing from a friend, and for…

P24 So Delicate
a fairy-like spectacle along the park path as the wind blows the blossoms off the cherry trees
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #haiku #cherryblossom
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
April can be windy, and when it is, the crab apple and cherry blossoms, so delicate, fall by the gazillions to land in every nook and cranny of our path to the park, looking like dancing fairies as the wind wind blows them down the street. Still, gazillion more are still on the tree for us to enjoy both on the path and on the trees.
I love…

Always a Choice
standing up for others and making choices that reflect kindness and empathy
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #bekind
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
What is one of the riskiest or bravest things you’ve ever done?
Accompanying Scott to a conference in Olympia, we searched downtown for a shoe store because Scott forgot his dress shoes.
While Scott shopped, I looked out the window, watching the passersby on the street.
I noticed two gangster-dressed / attitude boys walking with another boy…

Morning
I started out the day with Calvin the Drifter of Drifter Studio painting watercolor lilacs from his Let’s Paint Watercolor Lilacs YouTube video.

His tutorials are easy to follow with plenty of techniques to use…

Sunny Blooms
apple, cherry, and crab apple trees bloom in our yard; a bit about Guthrie
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #haiku #cherrytree #appletree #crabappletree
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Our afternoon walk ended with this scene: our blooming trees: apple, cherry, and crab apple. It’s stunning right now. Looks like the apple tree needs pruning! And it looks like there will be plenty of apples and crab apples for the deer in autumn. The cherry trees are ornamental and don’t grow fruit.
Guthrie had a great day today: he met a new…

Bumble Bee Pink
poetic description of a bumblebee feasting on the crab apple blossoms; bumblebee info
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #haiku #bumblebee #crabappleblossoms
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Returning from our afternoon walk, I admired, as usual, our lovely pink crab apple tree blossoms, and a bumble posed! Do you see him in the upper right?
Bumble bees are one of the first bees out and one of the last bees done in autumn, as late as November because they can fly in the cold. That also means they can feast off many varieties of plants,…

On Earth, They Flourish
beauty of the earth and the potential threat to its biodiversity
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #flourish #naturesbounty #climatechange
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. A few days ago I wrote a poem about nature– a gift to visit and relax away from the busy life in the city, “In Spring, Leave.” I wrote it after a road trip through the Okanogan Highlands in Ferry County along the Sanpoil River and across Keller Ferry.
I get pretty sentimental about all the lovely natural creatures and plants on this earth when…

Guthrie waiting along the boulevard lined with blossoming crab apple trees
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Yesterday, a young couple parked their electric bicycles and took portraits of themselves by our blossoming cherry and crab apple trees.
They really are something to behold– up and down our street along the boulevard are blossoming crab apple trees that bring the delight of a…

Protect Bats
Bat Day
Protect Bats: the most important natural predatory of night-flying insects-eat over 1,000 insects an hour
little brown bat [Myotis lucifugus] across North America
#warmup4art #cldoodle24 #aprildoodle #internationalbatday
on Flickr
Inspiration
Liz Kohler Brown has a challenge about a trend in art: “Going Off Grid.” Today is International Bat Appreciation Day, so when you are off grid and are camping anywhere, you might see the darting bats flying after dusk to eat their evening meal of flying insects. Do you know they can eat 1,000 insects and hour? Just one bat, and nursing mothers eat more.
Research and…

Mule Deer and My Garden
joy of seeing the peonies and day lilies in the garden, despite the threat of mule deer.
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #mygarden #daylily #peony #muledeer
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
I was so delighted yesterday when stepping out of the front door to walk Guthrie. Just to the left of the small front porch, my peony and day lilies were growing, still. The mule deer eat everything. They roam through the town and just enjoy the feast we homeowners plant for them, to our dismay.
So I was so excited the plants were still growing,…

What did I learn?
I need to plan the colors out before hand. I just dove right in, but with the size canvas I used, I needed to plan for less layers. I needed to not use clipping masks, but organize colors top down so I could add the colors needed on top of other colors.

In Spring, Leave
concern for the impact of climate change on the earth's delicate dance of life
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #haiku #kellerferry
#spring #naturecalling #climatechange
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Wherever I am, I remember. I remember all living things that flourish on this earth. A bee crawls on a coneflower. A butterfly darts here and there. A slug leaves his trail on the sidewalk. A bullfrog croaks in Fiddle Creek. Arrowleaf Balsamroot bloom all spring on the sunny slopes outside of town. Mule deer eat my flowers. A rabbit darts across our…
