My Daily Meandering

Wallop the Cat

2009-08-27T12:26:00.000-07:00

Between the time I lifted my camera and clicked the shutter, my cat Wallop had spotted a fly and leaped for it.

Happiness in My Own Backyard

2009-08-23T23:46:00.000-07:00

I didn't wander far today. In fact, the furthest place I went was my own backyard. I still took some photos though. Here's the best one.

Waterfall

An amazing waterfall at the Laguna Beach Sawdust Festival 2009

Grasshopper

2009-08-21T23:43:00.000-07:00

This was the best photo I took today, and it was in my very own front yard. I have a feeling that this is what has been eating my peppers.

Del Taco Sign

2009-08-20T21:45:00.000-07:00

My daily photo is of the Del Taco in Buena Park CA. I love neon signs. We ate dinner over there tonight.

Land of the Giants

Palm tree triplets along Lincoln near Beach in Anaheim CA.

Daily Photo

2009-08-19T01:19:00.000-07:00

My choice for today's photo is a self-portrait from my backyard. You can see some of the gourds waiting to be turned into art as well as my patio.

Horses

2009-05-25T09:24:00.001-07:00

Yesterday's meandering took me up to Silverado to visit some long lost friends of my boyfriend's. We had a blast. We bbqed, we petted some horses, we watched some footage of their trip to Burning Man. We discussed artistic ventures.

My Kitchen Timer Goes For a Walk

2009-05-13T16:45:00.000-07:00

One of the problems I've had with doing a timed walk each day has been keeping track of the time. If I wear a watch, I check it too often or forget to check it to see if I'm done yet. If I go by the clock in the living room, I'm already home when I see I haven't walked long enough and then I don't feel like going out again.
So today I had an epiphany. I took the new purse I got for Mother's Day, put the kitchen timer in it, set it for 30 minutes, and then walked to Fresh n Easy to get the milk. When I stepped on the lawn on the way to the door, the timer dinged and I knew I was done. This time I didn't take the camera, but I usually do.

I'm not sure what 'ping my default' means but I guess I'll find out when I hit send.

2008-08-28T13:40:00.001-07:00

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

2008-08-27T10:09:00.001-07:00

At the park

2008-02-27T12:40:00.000-08:00

These photos were taken at the park by the Haskett Library in Anaheim CA. I only took my batons and my flower sticks with me so I could focus on just those two things.

Art Supply Warehouse

2008-02-24T21:00:00.000-08:00

Today we went to one of my favourite haunts; Art Supply Warehouse. They didn't have the fabric painting medium I needed so we also went to Joann's and they did have it. I want to paint on some t-shirts. The weekend went by too fast. I got some craft projects nearly finished though.

Peas and Strawberries.

2008-02-23T20:14:00.000-08:00

Today I meandered to the Buena Park Farmer's Market where we got these great strawberries.

Tawny cat

This may be the same cat I photographed a few weeks ago.

If you look to the right you'll see the orange variety most people are more familiar with.

Redbud Tree

2006-03-12T16:30:00.000-08:00

I love the heart shaped leaves.

Still blustery out

2006-03-12T16:23:00.000-08:00

I see the city has been busy using sandblasting to remove grafitti from brick walls, sidewalks, and even a palm tree. I had to keep a sharp eye out because that loose sand makes the sidewalks slippery.
The daffodils are starting to bloom, as well as the ornamental cherries and the redbud tree.

Swaying Palms

2006-03-11T21:43:00.000-08:00

I took this yesterday during high winds. Today's walk was postponed due to rain.

2006-02-28T10:29:00.000-08:00

I never noticed this moss before today even though I've walked by this tree a dozen times.

2006-02-28T10:27:00.001-08:00

An American icon with international signage is a good example of the local ethnic diversity. This was a delivery truck making it's morning rounds at the local restaurants.

2006-02-28T10:27:00.000-08:00

I do this type of photography like people play golf...I shoot it where it lies. I leave it just as I found it. More new graffiti.

2006-02-28T10:22:00.000-08:00

I figured I better get my walk in between storms. Here is some beautiful striped eucalyptus bark. I took botany in college and just can't resist photographing good bark.

Two strays with no collars or tags. Sure hope they find their way back home.

True love?

Last night's smoky sunset.

2006-02-06T10:10:00.000-08:00

When I went outside this morning, the air had a yellow glow. So I figured there was a fire somewhere nearby. I walked back in and the news showed the Corona fire, so I'm pretty sure that is where the smoke is from. Corona is about a 30 min. freeway drive from here.

Photo troubles

2006-02-02T09:43:00.000-08:00

I went to add yesterday's photos and found out that the HELLO photo program has crashed on my computer. A re-install didn't help. So I'm dead in the water until I hear from their tech support.
