red door 2

This is also for Norm2.0’s Thursday doors, and also today, taken at around noon. The snow is disappearing very fast, but there are still treacherous ice patches in any shadows and it will all freeze again tonight…

I am having an Interesting Week, with simultaneous dental/medical/eye stuff. I get to see my FOURTH doctor this week this afternoon. Emergency root canal two days ago and antibiotics and pain medicines, so I am on the wrong side of the stethoscope this week. I would rather work than see doctors, wouldn’t you?

rain fairy

For the Daily Prompt: constant.

Wrong kind of fairy, right? No, I am thinking of the rain. We were trying to capture the ferry coming in at night in the rain with cell phones… instead we catch a glimpse of rain fairies, sliding down the lit streaks….

And constant? The ferries are constant between here and Whidby Island, leave and return, back and forth, faithful, constant.

present

For the Daily Prompt: present.

Our Rhody Fest is in May, with the Grand Parade, tricycle races, the bed race, and my Sunrise Rotary “Running of the Balls”. But I took this photograph two days ago: this rhododendron is not going to wait for May. No time like the present and in full bloom in February and gorgeous. A touch, a promise, harbinger of spring!

gold

For the Daily Prompt: rube.

I am thinking of Rube Goldberg, here: https://www.rubegoldberg.com/education/. I think of his fabulously complicated drawings of imaginative machines.

And the gold is these cousins, of very different ages, interacting and having a wonderful time.Β  Taken in 2006 at Lake Matinenda.

cabin door

For Norm2.0’s Thursday doors.

This is in a cabin at Lake Matinenda, in 2006. The door is to a screen porch, green and on the left of the picture. This is shot through the screen, other than my daughter. I love the layers of family all busy with things…and the missing screens. We repaired them that summer.
