The Olympic Mountains were visible along the horizon from the ferry yesterday. They are huge and wild, still. But the sky is bigger, isn’t it? The sky and the clouds dwarf the mountains….

Ferry view
I was crossing from Coupeville to Port Townsend yesterday afternoon, and the Olympic Mountains were gorgeous. I wanted to capture the haze between the lower ridge and the high peaks, mist and mystery.

Whenever I think
that
is what I don’t want to be
the Beloved laughs
and orders me
to be that
as if I’ve called it
that
the angels surround me
curious
it’s my passion
anger
fear
that calls them
motes from heaven
fall on me
from their wings
and I weep
and step forward
and fall
fall
fall
becoming
that
Warm
I go to the guest bed to take a nap. I reach for the blanket and touch… fur.Β I recoil. Boa cat wakes and blinks at me.
She looks so warm that I go curl up on the couch.

Pick a plan right for you…..
We are in open enrollment for health insurance in the US. Meaning that they all are going up in cost and they are cancelling plans and offering new ones. And advertising: pick a plan right for you!
What the hell does that mean?
It means that all of the plans exclude things. Oh, well, aromatherapy…. that’s what you are thinking if you are not a US citizen. Of course the plan doesn’t cover aromatherapy or crystal healing or fringe treatments….
Well, no. I had to choose between two plans when my daughter was 17, that is, two years ago. I could choose the one that covered cancer OR the one that covered pregnancy. Uh, yes, that is correct. One EXCLUDED pregnancy healthcare and the other EXCLUDED cancer healthcare. For me and my children.
Which would you choose?
My mother died of cancer at 61 and my sister at 49. My daughter was not dating yet. Observing.
So we picked cancer.
I photographed the crows out on a walk the other day… how many does it take to make a murder?
Small
This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #78, taken in Arlington Virginia last month. Do you remember when Rabbit had everyone in the Hundred Acre Woods looking for his friend and relation Small? I did not realize that one of Small’s relatives was in the picture until I looked at it again….
A taste for plums
I have a double lot and I don’t mow the second one. There are two plum trees and an apple tree, and the local deer love it. I may fence more off for more fruit trees, but it’s nice to share plums.
Beloved bug
I was writing in my journal in the garden yesterday morning and this tiny bug kept crawling into it…. I worried that I would squash it. I took photos and then encouraged it onto a piece of grass and onto the ground.
Garden study
This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #61. What are you trying? Early morning light with snails and bugs…. in my garden….
Silhouette
Early morning sky in my back yard, with light just turning the sky blue. This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday Challenge #59. Good morning all…..and I hope you find beauty in the mundane things at home….
