Posting for Cee’s Flower of the Day.
When self returned from the Philippines, end of April, this rose was in bad shape. It looked like it was starving: sparse leaves, riddled with rust and blackspot. But, as dear blog readers can see, it has since made a full recovery!

After a spring of almost daily rain (I know, I know, I shouldn’t complain), I couldn’t waiiiit for warmer weather. It’s finally here! Here’s to: roses, sitting outside, blue skies, and jellies.
The Fan of . . . challenge is hosted by Jez.

This is the second summer for self’s Moonlight Romantica. It’s grown huge, taller than self.

Self decided that, for this prompt, she would look for actual lamps or ceiling fixtures.
Then she saw this picture: She snapped it in the parking lot of a movie theater in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Christmas Day, 2019: She’d just seen a movie with son and daughter-in-law (she forgets which movie).
She was entranced by the sky. There is a street light. And the lights of a car.

Here for the Mendocino Film Festival. Saw a documentary yesterday: Salvatore, Shoemaker of Dreams. Seeing another documentary this morning: Patrick and the Whale.
This afternoon, seeing a Nicole Holofcener movie (She is this year’s Rogue Wave honoree) and The Forger (German film).
Tonight: A Bunch of Amateurs, a British documentary about a small amateur filmmaking club struggling to survive.
Posting for Six Word Saturday.

Another day, another photo challenge. Today it’s the Which Way Photo Challenge. From the host:
- The Which Way photo challenge is all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, steps, signs, etc. we move from one place to another on. You can walk on them, climb them, drive them, ride on them, as long as the specific way is visible.
My way is on the Stanford University campus. Looking straight ahead from the steps of the Cantor Art Center. That’s the Bing Concert Hall in the distance.

I love this challenge, hosted by bushboys world:
- Everyone who contributes their good and not so good photos has fun I hope. I enjoy seeing your photos. Thanks to those being brave enough to show everyone your last photo or photos from your phone and camera.
Both pictures were taken within minutes of each other, on the last day of May, just past noon.
I’d been spending day after day on the couch, writing. For a break, I’d grab whatever came to hand (yes, I am that lazy). First, Evan Winter’s The Rage of Dragons, the next book on my reading list (after Matthieu Aikins’ powerful The Naked Don’t Fear the Water, an account of the year he spent living like an Afghan refugee).
The magazine is the latest issue of Sunset, which I have been subscribing to ever since I became a Californian. I took a picture of the Food page, because it featured a Filipino restaurant in Seattle, “one of the best Filipino restaurants in the country,” Musang.
