1033. gift that keeps on giving

born so long ago

with so many years to go

down… but still giving  🦊❤️

 This fallen Cucumber Magnolia tree was 98 years old in 1979. I have been watching its decomposing trunk giving itself back to where it came from for a few years now. Many more decades of returning itself to its roots will proceed. These are sacred sites to be honored. 🦊❤️

1032. gnomes

a magical morn

bright sun and a pleasant breeze

and good luck to boot! 🦊❤️

I love it that some interesting person takes the time to tuck away Gnomes in little nooks and crannies along the trails. Yesterday I spotted two of the little beings who bring good luck and protection.  Thank you interesting person. 🦊❤️

 

1031. daddy long legs

strolling down the street

suddenly we were transformed

to walk in leaps and bounds 🦊❤️

Sometimes being silly is the the most serious thing that you can do! We do that a lot!  Seriously… 🦊❤️

 

1030. guardians of the meadow

jack’s with henry now

both spending time on their bench

watching us walk by 🦊❤️

I have met many fine people on the trails. Jack Taylor was one of those people. He and his pooch Archie loved the meadow.  He shared many years of  enjoying the meadow with his friend Dave Rosso and his pooch Ellie.  Jack recently made it to the big meadow in the sky. I’m sure that he will be sitting on the bench that remembers his earlier dog Henry and will make his presence known to us as we pass by.  RIP Jack. 🦊❤️

 

1029. a sunny story

 

icarus used wings

modern dreamers use machines

the sun remains safe 🦊❤️

I love it when things line up in front of my eyes that immediately conjure up a story in my mind. I call these occasions “juicy juxtapositions”.  🦊❤️ 

1028. just plain funny

lucy and desi

oh the joy of just laughing

just simply laughing  🦊❤️

We’ve been going to weekly vintage movies at our local not for profit theater.  What a joy it was to laugh and laugh and snort and laugh as we watched the classic “The Long Long Trailer” starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. 
No underlying messages or socially relevant lessons to absorb. It was just plain funny!!!! Ahhhh so refreshing. 🦊❤️

1027. remembering peewee’s magic screen

six blank canvases

just hanging around waiting

what would jambi paint? 🦊❤️

I want to paint a much larger landscape painting than I’ve attempted previously. So I hung the blank canvases  on the wall and I stare at them like they are PeeWee Herman’s Magic Screen hoping that they will broadcast what I should paint on them. 🦊❤️
