Sometimes you just rummage through things. This morning I was rummaging from my LightRoom archives, going as far back as 1999! This is from 12/23/2011 using the Nikon D70, on loan from a friend, and a Tamron 28-75 lens, the first I ever bought. This was snapped in the early morning, after a bit of rain, a few days before Christmas. The edit is from this morning.
How time just flies!
Calm water, smooth stones, fallen leaves, a sunny day. A lake, a pond, along the shore of a creek or river.

As a kid with blue eyes and blonde hair, everything I wore seemed to be the color blue. So much blue! Too much blue! I really didn’t like it after awhile, but these days it is probably next to greens as a color I enjoy.
Looking through my photo archives this morning, I found a number of pictures I took in the local botanical garden one spring – a brilliantly blue sky with no clouds, but branches blooming and leafing out. This is when I love blue!
Meanwhile, blue denim sashiko continues!
Another one from the archives . . .
Where I live there isn’t a very big likelihood of snow. At higher elevations, yes, but here in coastal California, 800 feet isn’t gonna get it.
So, I dream.
I’ve lived in some places with stunning countryside, such as rural Illinois, upstate New York, in the Rockies of Colorado. Snow was beautiful and thrilling. As a kid, it’s a wonderland, but I remember my mother would always kvetch about all the little mittens, the snowsuits, the boots, the scarves, the this and that to get a herd of kids dressed to play – and then ten minutes later, they are all back in the house.
Poor Ma!
