March Photo a Day. March 31. Photographer's Choice.
I've been going through all the photos saved on my computer for the past twenty years. Randomly, I found this picture of Hollywood Beach, Oxnard, Ventura County, California (quite near where we used to live). The Ventura County beaches were some of our favorite places to walk. This photo is an iconic view of Hollywood Beach.
March Photo a Day. March 29. Pet.
The newest grand-dog pet. Athena. Bernese Mountain Dog. Yes, she is huge.
I am still having a hard time reconciling the fact that the calendar states that the month of March is nearly over and April will begin. But here it is, the last Friday in March. Fridays mean Fave Fives. Here are my five blessings from this week. (follow the link to Susanne's blog)
1. My son, Chaplain Dan, is a military chaplain and also writes poetry in his spare time. Last week, he published another poem on Amazon. His poetry is written in an unusual old style-- Anglo-Saxon Alliterative Verse, like Beowulf was. Can you imagine reading the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho like that? I am always in amazement of his creativity.
2. I donated clothing to a resale boutique in a nearby town. The owner is so sweet, and I have purchased clothes from her store before, and she has sold my knitted hats there. It makes me happy to support small businesses.
3. Speaking of small businesses, we had our coffee date with T and S this week at a town south of us. After our fun conversation time, the guys went one way to a model train (and other stuff) place and we girls drove to Peddler's Junction Vendor Mall and wandered around looking at all the fun things for sale. The guys met us there and found a couple of things they wanted. Our outings with T and S always bring me joy.
4. This fave is both happy and sad. Younger Son, Dr. Mike, has been living with us for a few months, working remotely hours and hours every day. This week, he moved back to California, to San Jose, where the co-owners of his company are living. We are happy for him but really miss him.
5. Finally the weather has moderated (at least for a few days). I was able to take a walk in the sunshine today! The forsythia is blooming! It really is Spring!
March Photo a Day. March 28. Repetition.
Nothing shows repetition better than weaving. Back and forth, back and forth, ad infinitum. Eleanor Elizabeth Bunny added for interest.
March Photo a Day. March 27. Shadows. Can you guess what and where?
Shadows of people on the swings at Disneyland.
March Photo a Day. March 26. Pathway.
This may be my favorite path ever that The Professor and I have walked. On the top of Hadrian's Wall near Housesteads Roman Fort. We were literally walking on the top of the wall through the trees.
March Photo a Day. March 25. Patterns.
The Nurse, my younger daughter, found this fascinating deck of cards and gave them to me for Christmas. Fair Isle knitting patterns.
March Photo a Day. March 24. Buildings.
One of my favorite buildings in Los Angeles, surrounded by many many other buildings. Los Angeles City Library.
