I drew a picture of myself without opening my eyes

as ordinary as it gets--

yet somehow amazing

A lovely evening for a swim. The tide was low and the water cool, and as I waded out (quite far before it was deep enough to swim) I noticed that the squishy mud I was wading through was warm, quite a bit warmer than the water actually. estuary :: the night gives back what the day has taken (at Coyote Point Recreation Area.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLgQL7Npqwg/?igshid=x9ny8wrejqz2

Freed from predation pressure, abalone had become plentiful in California’s coastal waters. Native Americans had been decimated by infectious diseases and the economies of coastal (and other) tribes had been severely disrupted. Sea otters, which devour abalone, were on the brink of extinction thanks to the global fur trade, as otter pelts fetched exorbitant prices in high fashion circles. Most Euro-Americans viewed abalone as an inedible oddity. But in China, abalone were an overfished delicacy. Chinese immigrants recognized a golden opportunity to tap an unexploited market, and they had the skills to make it happen.

In the hospital ward, we were not allowed visitors because of Covid restrictions so on each of the five days, I revisited a different decade of my past, dwelling at length on close relationships, wondrous journeys and joyful moments. Five months on, I still get great pleasure from doing this. I am also trying to live more in the present. It’s a cliche, but for weeks after discharge I marvelled at the simplest things – rainfall, sparrows, insects, cups, beans, books, chats with family and friends. I swore I would never again waste precious time on stuff I didn’t completely cherish.

I hope this old grandmother/grandfather oak doesn't mind me sharing this image where their roots are showing. It's such a perfect illustration that, for trees, as much is going on belowground as above... more, actually, for the roots are where the tree does their thinking. deep :: the roots I touch when I am alone https://www.instagram.com/p/CJFCjRXpeXy/?igshid=1lkbf5705ohkf

It was the persimmons clinging to the leafless branches of a modest sized tree that first made me fall in love with this house. Now, 23 years later, I'm still no closer to getting used to their exuberant abundance. early sunset a flock of crows winging homeward https://www.instagram.com/p/CIenCWKJkRm/?igshid=1lv2mqb7dnqw1
