Photo of a tabby-and-white cat on two blankets. He is lying on his side with his head up. The photo edges are blurry.
Blanket memories.
The striped blanket belonged to Pap-Paw and then my mom. The reindeer blanket also was my Mom's. I gave fleece blankets as gifts one year. Corner embroidery said Christmas 1999. (The "new" millennium is already a quarter gone!)

Two people in kayaks head out across Mono Lake with the Eastern Sierra Range seen in the distance. Ansel Adams country. Though his was pretty much black and white. Pity we didn't have the kayaks with us that time. It looks like paddling there would have been fun. Also seen in the distance toward the foot of the mountains are the limestone formations known as tufa towers rising from the water’s surface. Photographers love to catch the eerie formations with different light effects. We didn't stick around long enough for that. It was on to Mt Whitney instead.
The road to Mt Whitney... Oh well!
Some of you may remember that I preferred to catch the sunrise from the comfort of the van.
It was the height of luxury. All that open space entirely to ourselves. I'm not sure that's even possible today. I heard they put up a lot of signs since then. No telling what it's like these days.

Morning dramatic sky with large number of clouds reflect over the pond.
Morning has broken over the pond in a dramatic fashion. Have a great Monday. #Alphabetchallenge #WeekMforMemories #photography #landscape #photography #thepondstory #EastCoastKin #cloudscape
from old library stacks area: dumb waiter for moving books between floors by librarians
from old library stacks area: well worn stairs, still kinda elegant, maybe a bit haunted.

4 photos from larger set from long ago (memory 1)...a string / line threaded through old library stacks (with memories 2) now demolished (memory 3)... & personal (memory 4).
Various spring blooms on a white background. At top a wild violet probably and a small white blossom possible from a flowering tree and tipped in pink. At center a small spring with three long pink blooms. Right center a long stem with clusters if round purple flowers at the top and a similar stem but in white. Left toward the bottom, green leaves with tiny pink flowers nestled in. A single tiny yellow flower. A sprig with a bit of white. At the absolute bottom the blooms of a redbud tree.
In a strong effort to bring us all sweet dreams, some beautiful specimens collected back in April 2020 back when I became (temporarily, fully) in charge of my children's education.
Even in the darkest times, there is beauty in the world.

Playing around with shadows in the desert two years ago, B&W photo-calling this “cactus cowgirl”
Pile of pictures that follow me around- which ones to let free?
Some memories follow me around like shadows lurking from corners of a misshaped silhouette. Separated from the sun’s angle then fading thru the night..While some cluster in piles waiting to be invigorated.

Beast from the East. The first and probably last time I will build an igloo and sit in it enjoying my hot chocolate
A Bald Eagle sits atop a lighthouse along Vancouver's shoreline, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
On top of the world!
Remember the feeling?
This Bald Eagle has a bird's eye view of the Pacific Ocean.
The capture was taken during a break from a science writers conference.

A woman with blonde hair smiles while taking a selfie on a sunny the beach. She is wearing patterned sunglasses, and her hair is tousled by the wind. Behind her, the ocean and a bright blue sky with wispy clouds are visible.

My first camera since seriously getting back into photography, My father bought it , a #Kodak Retina in the PX when he was in the Army in Germany in the early 1950’s. I did B&W and developed/printed all the shots myself.

Text on a photo of green oak leaves and their shadow. She had forgotten how the August night Was level as a lake beneath the moon, In which she swam a little, losing sight Of shore; and how the boy, who was at noon Simple enough, not different from the rest, Wore now a pleasant mystery as he went, Which seemed to her an honest enough test Whether she loved him, and she was content. So loud, so loud the million crickets' choir... So sweet the night, so long-drawn-out and late... And if the man were not her spirit's mate, Why was her body sluggish with desire? Stark on the open field the moonlight fell, But the oak tree's shadow was deep and black and secret as a well. EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY
This poem holds memories of early spring in HS, when seeing how a boy caught a frisbee, or saw another’s crooked smile, was reason enough to love them in that brief moment.
The ‘sluggish’ didn’t arrive until some years later.

Imatge d'una atracció infantil de fira de poble. Es veu un cotxe en primer pla i, darrere, un cavall i un elefant. Fotografia en blanc i negre.
Records d'infantesa. Una barreja de nostàlgia i decadència. Les fires de pobles petits.

My cousin volunteered to be my model for experimental photography 35 years ago - that shooting session was so much fun and the memories will be with us forever!

Moraine Lake - my mouth opened wide and stayed open when there last year, firmly implanted on the memory.

An old black and white photograph of a slim young dark-haired girl sitting, propped up on her arms on a beach. She wears a dress with puffed short sleeves and large light coloured bow at the neck. Behind her next to the sea wall, a group of people get ready for bathing. Above the wall a building can be glimpsed and an onlooker. My mother often rode to the nearby beaches on her cycle with friends in the 1930s and later with my father. On the top right is her little brown leather-bound book with the gold lettering, Cyclist’s Log Book. Below that is one of the pages, she filled in on July 16th 1936 of a trip to Talacre in north Wales - quite a distance from her home in Port Sunlight village on the Wirral peninsula in north-west England. She speaks of her friend Do-Do and then struggling over sand dunes to the beach where they got sand in their shorts, which must have made the homeward journey uncomfortable. Mum also mentions stopping at cafes for lunch and tea and lists her expenses on other pages - dinner 4d and tea 8d, which is less than four pence now, I think. Amazing.

Last of my memories this week is a little leather-bound notebook inherited from my Mum, in which she began writing about her cycling adventures with her friend Do-Do in 1936 Merseyside. I filled in later pages in the 60s of my bike rides to Wales.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMemories For me, decorating the Christmas tree is about memories. These ornaments were given to us by a neighbor 44 years ago when we were very poor. A kindness that keeps giving. ❤️

My mother and father on the Oor Wullie Bucket Art Trail in Inverness 2016.
Sadly, neither are with us any more - but these sort of images certainly do bring back fond memories.
