And so to the heights, to get a different perspective on the route of our usual #MorningWalk

A rocky outcrop to the left. The land drops away and in the distance the blue of the bay which is our usual walk. A small hamlet on a hill to the right of the bay

Month after month, nearly every day, I’ve been posting pictures and words. For the month of May, I’m giving myself, and you, a respite. After that? Well, who knows. I do know that I’ll get more reading done.

Rest assured, the walking will continue.

The image shows a gravel trail winding through tall green grasses, with a lone person walking ahead on the path. The walker, wearing a light blue jacket, is heading toward a wooded area with pine trees visible in the distance. The scene captures a peaceful natural setting with vibrant spring or summer vegetation framing the narrow trail. Hills or slopes can be seen rising on the right side, creating a sense of the path cutting through a small valley or meadow.
The image shows a view from an elevated position looking down toward a two-lane road that curves through a forested area. Tall pine trees with straight trunks dominate the foreground, some draped with what appears to be Spanish moss, but isn’t. The landscape features varying shades of green vegetation, from the bright grassy areas near the road to the darker evergreens in the background. A pale blue sky is visible at the top of the image. The scene captures the intersection of natural woodland and human infrastructure in what looks like a coastal or highland pine forest environment.
The image shows a misty, forested hillside with a winding road cutting through it. Tall pine trees dominate the landscape, with a mix of green needles and some bare trunks or branches. The scene has a foggy, overcast atmosphere with a gray sky overhead. The road appears as a thin, curved strip in the middle distance, partially obscured by the trees. The terrain looks hilly and densely wooded, with various shades of green vegetation across the hillside. In the foreground, there’s some low brush and grasses visible. The overall mood of the image is serene yet slightly mysterious due to the misty conditions.

Joanne and I visited our favorite road cafe yesterday—cheeseburgers all around—and I got the shot of the garden patio. Today would be a great day to eat on that patio as it’s wonderfully sunny.

I can see the photo of what appears to be a charming garden patio with a storage room entrance of a café. The image shows: A rustic wooden Dutch door with a painting of a cow’s face on the upper half A weathered “CAFE” sign above the door Lush greenery with climbing vines along the whitewashed walls Colorful potted plants with red, pink, and other flowers A yellow umbrella or awning visible at the top left Outdoor seating furniture (metal chairs) visible on the patio This creates a very inviting, rustic garden atmosphere for the café. The combination of the plants, unique cow-decorated door, and outdoor seating area makes it look like a delightful spot to enjoy the cheeseburgers mentioned!
The image shows a tall Norfolk Island pine tree (or similar conifer) standing against a clear blue sky. In front of the tree are street signs showing the intersection of Clay Street (400 block) and Jefferson Street (800 block). The street signs are green with white text. A portion of what appears to be a white building with a red tile roof is visible in the lower left corner of the image. The composition creates a striking contrast between the deep green of the tall, distinctive pine tree and the bright blue sky.
The image shows a colorful garden landscape with vibrant vegetation. In the foreground are plump, light green succulents (likely aeoniums or similar plants) growing abundantly alongside a carefully trimmed hedge that borders a sidewalk. Behind these is a stone wall with a cream-colored fence or railing on top. The wall is dramatically draped with cascading bougainvillea in bright magenta/purple blooms. There’s a partially bare tree with multiple trunks in the middle of the scene, and other mature trees visible to the right. The scene is bathed in warm light, suggesting it was taken during the golden hour, under a clear blue sky. The overall composition showcases a well-maintained Mediterranean-style garden with drought-tolerant plants.

Early morning dog walk. Quite a difference between the speed of friend's 4yr old and our last dog at 16.

Hey, have you smelled this?? Dog sniffing side of road very intently, to me it “looks” like gravel, old leaves, some grass blades.
Early morning at the pond, blue sky and trees reflecterd in the still water
Stump of tree with a mop head of mosses in early morning light, surrounded by islands of moss, most likely covering boulders. A small pine sapling is trying to grow next to the stump.
Very fuzzy/hairy fern pushing up out of the ground next to an old branch mostly covered in a light green lichen.

Good morning!
From a morning walk to the train.
I hope you have a good start into the day.

A serene scene captured in this image showcases a quaint house nestled in a vast field surrounded by towering trees. In the distance, majestic mountains rise against a grey sky, creating a stunning backdrop. The colors of brown and grey dominate the landscape, with hints of a warm accent color adding contrast. The peaceful setting is enhanced by the presence of fog and a hint of sunrise or sunset in the sky. This rural area exudes tranquility and natural beauty, making it a perfect representation of a peaceful countryside retreat.

Looking forward, our grandkids, all grown up, might remember when the state of California was sued over its restrictive air quality regulations. I wonder how that will turn out for them?

The image shows a deer walking along a gravel path through a wooded area. The deer has brownish-gray fur and appears to be a doe. It’s traveling on a narrow trail that winds through tall green grass with some small white wildflowers visible along the edges. The scene is set in a mixed forest with several pine trees visible by their distinctive dark trunks and some broadleaf shrubs and undergrowth in the background. The setting has a peaceful, natural atmosphere with dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, creating a serene woodland scene.
The image shows an overcast landscape with heavy gray clouds filling most of the sky. In the foreground is a guardrail or low barrier made of wood and metal. Beyond this is a hillside with mixed vegetation including short grass, shrubs, and what appears to be tree stumps. The middle ground features a winding road visible through a dense forest of evergreen trees. The forest extends across the landscape and up hillsides in the background. The overall scene has a moody atmosphere due to the cloudy conditions, showcasing a natural area with some human infrastructure present.

Breaking these habits requires self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and intentional practice to respond compassionately to perceived harms.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Are aspirations like these just pipe dreams, castles in the air, unicorns and rainbows?

Snapshots of my overcast morning. Overcast is not a word to be taken lightly. Oh, you disagree? Well, ok then.

#Overcast

The image shows a close-up of a plant with green oval-shaped leaves and small brownish flowers or seed structures. Most notably, there’s a significant amount of pale yellowish-green stringy growth covering parts of the plant. This appears to be Spanish moss (but it’s not) or a similar epiphytic plant growing on a tree or shrub. The stringy growth has a delicate, web-like appearance with thin filaments spreading across the branches. The plant’s natural foliage is still visible with its glossy green leaves, but the moss-like growth is creating a distinctive draped effect throughout the image.
The image shows vibrant purple-red foxtail grass or bristle grass with feathery, brush-like seed heads in focus. These ornamental grasses have distinctive burgundy-colored bristles extending from thin stalks. They’re growing among other green grasses in what appears to be a natural meadow or field setting with blurred trees in the background. The image has a shallow depth of field, creating a slightly soft, artistic quality while highlighting the striking reddish-purple plumes of the grass.
The image shows spiky seed heads of a sedge or rush plant growing in a grassy field. Several dark brown, star-shaped seed clusters sit atop thin green stems. The background features a meadow with varying textures of green and brown grasses, and pine trees visible in the distance. The scene appears to be in a natural woodland clearing or forest edge environment, with the spiky seed heads in the foreground and a blurred forest line in the background. The seed heads have a distinctive bristly, pointed appearance typical of certain sedges or rushes after flowering.
The image shows a hillside view overlooking a winding road through a forest. In the foreground, there’s a grassy slope with tree stumps visible. The mid-ground features a two-lane paved road cutting through a dense stand of tall evergreen trees, possibly pines or cypress. The forest extends across the background, creating a thick green canopy. The sky above is overcast with a gray, cloudy appearance. The overall scene has a somewhat foggy, misty quality typical of coastal forest environments. The landscape appears to be in a natural or semi-natural area, possibly near a park or nature preserve.

I walk a middle path between extremes, staying grounded in the present moment rather than becoming lost in future fears or past grievances. Above all, I extend loving-kindness to everyone affected by these changes—including myself.

My Zen practice isn’t an escape from difficult realities but a way to engage with them with wisdom, compassion, and purpose.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
