For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: weasel.
I don’t have a weasel. I haven’t caught a weasel with my camera. There is a dearth of local weasels. Here is an eagle instead.

For the Ragtag daily prompt: March.
March is flowers! I took this in February but now everything outside is budding, a little late for here. Usually my camellia is blooming by the end of January. The magnolia has heavy fuzzy buds and I have a fifth orchid, my tiniest sweetest one, blooming.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: shard.
I photographed our local mosaic sculptures and I can’t find the pictures. I just went through 3 years of photographs and it’s making me too sad. Yesterday a patient said, “How are you?” I replied, “Mostly happy with occasional grumpiness.” Sorrow too. So here is a mostly blue photograph with a little pink. Maybe the happiness is the pink in which case I said it backwards.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: friend.
Malene has known me since she was in college with my parents. Since I was a baby. I know her children and grandchildren as well…. friends.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: hirsute.
Hirsute in the sense of bristles….happy nappy pigs.
This is for the Ragtag Daily Prompt: gold.
A friend of mine climbing the Salish Sea Circle…. Pure gold joy!
For Wordless Wednesday.
Blogging from A to Z about happy things, the letter r. R for relationship, red and real.
I’ve been down to the same beach twice in the last 2 weeks, and both times there have been a trio of great blue herons. Two adults and a teen? I don’t know, but right before the second one wandered over, I took this shot:
Caught something, hooray! And then the other heron comes to ask, “What did you catch? Tasty? Are there more?”
I love walking outside, it balances clinic. I am just present and real. I don’t speak heron well enough to worry about their blood pressure. Time just to watch.
And red, my son is visiting.
For the Daily Prompt: orange.
I took this during the Poulsbo Photowalk: http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/poulsbo-art-walk/.
Ok, I am a total fail on eclipse pictures.
I did no preparation, no reading and failed! I was clueless! Go ahead and laugh at me! But many thanks to my 10 am patient, because all of us were excited and ran outside to see if we could see the eclipse. I did not have the right sort of filter for my phone. I did make a pinhole in paper and took the bad picture below… we could see the eclipse on a piece of paper held behind the pinhole paper. I remembered those instructions from when I was a kid!
I did not take off because I just can’t afford any more time off than I’ve taken – run my own small business, dontcha know – and I leave for a week of CME in September. CME stands for Continuing Medical Education and I do a minimum of 50 hours a year.
We had fun anyway… and I want to go to the next eclipse…. well, the next one that is somewhere and somewhen I can afford.
Terrible, huh? And I am happy anyhow!
I hope you find some joy in your day, somewhere….
