For my friend Caroline, a black crowned night heron.Β We were 15 feet away when I spotted it! Hopeful, we think, that it was camouflaged and we were just being tourists. It was not frantic, more watchful.
For the Daily Prompt: frantic.

earth, water, sky
For the Daily Prompt: quartet.
Three of four elements.
Legs
For the Daily Prompt: quartet.
Four legs!
leisurely
For the Daily Prompt: micro.
Slow food, slow travel, oops! Do not get in the water at Two Steps Beach except at the steps! Sea urchins: we don’t want to hurt them and they do not want to be stepped on. We need to ask questions and not blunder in….
colors
For the Daily Prompt: faceless.
No face but still loved.
out
For the Daily Prompt: talisman.
What an interesting word. Talisman. What makes me feel safe? Where do I feel most safe, most loved, most joy?
Outdoors. Outside. With the birds, the deer, the trees. I am safest in the forest, away from people.
The latest news regarding Facebook and apps certainly reinforces that. I don’t trust technology, I don’t trust corporations, Big Data puts profit and money first, I do not trust people. Not in groups. Individually in clinic, yes. On Facebook, no.
And I realized the secret reason that I don’t twitter this week: I am a terrible speller. Yes, I am thinking of our twitter in chief and the spelling of counsel.
I would rather be outdoors trading songs with a bird than be indoors with a screen. Our television was turned off four years ago. I check varied news sources for a few minutes in the early morning. And then I turn them off.
Health to you and everyone.

windows
For the Daily Prompt: identical.
I suppose the two windows on either side of the big one aren’t identical, but they are certainly a pair. This set of windows is part of why I chose this house. The windows face due south and living room gets sun when we have sun. In the winter the sun will hit the rainbow catcher. It is filled with water and rainbows are thrown all over the room. The ficus is from my parents, a bonsai. I have no idea how old it is, but I repotted it last year, because it was root bound.
Saturday I cooked most of the day and got ready for the dinner. We don’t always have spring sun so looking out the windows made me long to go outside! What a glorious day, with my plums blooming! But the dinner was a delight as well and there will be more sunny days.

For the Daily Prompt: blush.
incubate
For yesterday’s Daily Prompt: incubate.
Taken in February 2011. One thing I loved about synchronized swimming is that our older girls worked and played with the younger ones.
And here is my daughter and another teammate posing for one of the younger girls to take a picture: their smiles are much bigger and more spontaneous than when they pose for us!
