Oregon summer Harmonious, cool jewel being A hummingbird, wings heard Such a light flight, in and out of sight Fittingly, yet wittingly, zinging not singing Blossom to blossom, drinking in the nectar Of each and every moment Foment enlightenment Like a finely aged and […]

Meditation in Moments … The Meeting Place
Zipping Dipping Sipping Buzzing Humming Summer’s ambrosial nectar station now open for business. Summer here is off to a great start. Just as I was lamenting a couple of weeks ago that there weren’t any hummingbirds around yet, they suddenly appeared seemingly out of nowhere. […]

Zunday Zen … Bee here Now!
rockin’ and rollin’ metallic green sweat bee dancin’ the pollinating blues Hard to believe, but until a couple of days ago I had never noticed these striking bees before. Or perhaps I saw them, but didn’t really see them. At first I thought that this […]
Meditation in Moments … Dainty Dandelion
The circle of life Dandelion … seed to flower flower to seed always on autopilot. Dandelions are once again abundant this year so I thought I’d look at them in a different way. They really are quite a pest around my yard and annoy me. […]
Meditation in Moments … Down the dusty Alley
California poppies down the alley shouting at me loudly “Don’t forget to visit your home away from home” Sonoma County is, and always will be my home away from home. Spotting these bright orange California poppies made me homesick, and realized, that it’s about time to […]
Meditation in Moments … The Corner of Jefferson & 6th
At the corner of Jefferson & 6th just a stone’s throw from the library April’s hot summer sun sets aglow a dazzling presentation in pink. Up above, power lines hum down below, cars buzz by. Oops! I better get going … … on this dog […]
Zunday Zen … Breathtaking Autumn Farewell
Nature, dressed in layers, layers of colors, layers of texture, layers of light. Nature quietly changing, quietly returning quietly returning to the earth. Nature getting ready, ready to rest ’til awakened in spring. These photos were taken about 10 days ago at the Oregon Garden […]
Zunday Zen … Reflections
Flamboyant, yet peaceful. In-your-face colors. Brilliant reds, golden yellows. Glorious autumn sunshine. Twirling in midair leaves swirling, floating, landing softly down below in the dark waters. The dark waters of the Bosque… Reading the maple leaves, quietly pondering. Another year’s gone by As the wheel of […]
Zunday Zen … Dazzled by Nature
A break in the rain! Golden autumn leaves shimmer, flutter, rustle, delight.
Zunday Zen … Oh Bombus Lapidarius
Red-tailed bumble bee foraging so peacefully … Ouch! That really hurt!
Zunday Zen … As I lay Dreaming
Nebulous night sky Harvest moon’s radiant light Skying swirls in the paint. As I was drifting off to sleep the other night, the brilliant light of the harvest moon was painting the sky with swirly clouds and swaying tall fir trees outside my bedroom window. […]
Zunday Zen … Bee here Now!
Corbiculae filled endangered pollinators replenish their larder.
Zunday Zen … Home … It’s where the Heart is!
Portland is a special place it’s “weird”, it’s hip, it’s cool. From up above here on display is Portland’s living room. We have it all! The suburban mall, the wild and rugged coast, we have the Gorge for beautiful hikes, the mountains, desert and rivers. […]
Zunday Zen … The Dog Days of Emeril
Crepuscular rays kick golden hour magic up … another notch … BAM!!! When I put together this post yesterday, I couldn’t come up with a snappy title. I briefly mentioned it to my husband and then went on to something else, thinking that said title […]
Zunday Zen … A Summer Evening at Home
Don’t mind me! I’m the sipping, dipping, chirping adorable chickadee. Last night, I noticed this tiny chickadee sitting on the edge of the birdbath. I grabbed my phone, set the camera and slooooowly walked towards it. The chickadee did not appear to be […]
Zunday Zen … Snap, Crackle, Pop … Free Recipe included
Hurried, distracted. Tripped & slipped up, snap, crackle, pop … Ouch!! My aching back … Heat a deep, heavy pan, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add enough toasted sesame oil to generously cover the bottom. When the oil is really hot add enough popcorn to […]
