Which is to say, the garden at home.
Self has spent much time in it, the past few days. Here are pictures of two of her ‘most-grown.’

Side Yard: This Viburnum was barely two feet high in 2015. Now, it’s almost as tall as the eaves.
Going to see Hostiles (Christian Bale! Rosamund Pike!) in a few.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Been so long since self took pictures of her garden.
Since this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is VARIATIONS ON A THEME, self wandered her backyard looking for appropriate subjects.
Here, her helleborus, having survived years of neglect (approx. three years) is nevertheless getting ready to bloom:
Helleborus, Last Week of January 2018
More Helleborus!
Just throwing this in: The deck is very weathered and obviously needs a lot of work. But — variations on a theme!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Been reading Gendrya all day in preparation for tonight’s Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4. Which self knows already from all the leaks has NO. GENDRY. Nevertheless. It is reportedly spectacular. There is a scene in which . . . but, no. THERE SHALL BE NO FURTHER SPOILERS.
She’s posted twice on this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge TEXTURES. Now it’s time to appreciate these beauties from other WordPress bloggers!
Kudos to the bloggers!
Stay tuned.

This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is FOCUS.
David W. asks:
Are you a stickler for getting in close to your subjects and capturing every detail, or do you prefer a more ethereal look that illustrates the sensations of the moment? Or both?
Self definitely falls into the latter group.
Much has happened in the world in the four months self traveled through England, Ireland, and France. She took this picture standing on the steps of London’s St. Martin-in-the-Fields, where she’d gone to listen to a candlelight Pachelbel Canon concert:
Iconic Double-Decker: London, Early June 2017
Before London, self was in Paris. She spent one day at Monet’s Garden in Giverney, which was awash in blooms:

Finally, Versailles. The lines were incredible. It took all of her niece Irene’s ingenuity to get us both inside. Self took this picture staring through the gilt iron gates at the front entrance, on a very hot afternoon in late May:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

ORDER: “Neat, tidy objects and spaces.”
Monet’s garden at Giverny has a profusion of flowers but it’s the individual blossoms that really show you nature’s genius for order.

The flower is ready for its close-up:
Finally, I. M. Pei’s magnificent pyramid at the Louvre:
Fabulous: I. M. Pei’s audacity
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

On this date, exactly one year ago (1 June 2017), self wrote a post about visiting Giverney for the first time:
Two days ago, self had the opportunity to visit Giverney for the first time. She got so lost in the gardens, she didn’t even bother going inside Monet’s house. Go figure! She’s always loved flowers. They are her friends, always. Which is perfect, since this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is FRIENDS:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

The Daily Post Photo Challenge this week, provided by Brie Anne Demkiw, is EARLY BIRD.
“I love sunsets as much as the next photographer, but I began to recognize a pattern: many of my best photos were taken early.”
In Cousin’s House, in a Suburb of Calgary
Roses are best when plucked early in the morning.
Early Morning in a Garden: Happiness!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

It is such a bee-yoo-ti-ful day! This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is NEW.
As the prompt on The Daily Post puts it: Let’s celebrate the new!
Tomorrow self will drive up to Mendocino and inspect her new digs. She’s packed almost everything, including Sumatra coffee, a coffee bean grinder, and Krups.
Today, self walked all over her garden.
Here are the first daffodils of the year:
And here is a picture emblematic of the mind frame with which self greeted 2015!
You can see this figure busting out of a wall in Ontario Mills Shopping Center (near Claremont)
She tweeted that 2014 was her BEST YEAR EVER.
She has the feeling 2015 might be equally good.
Because, you know, she is starting it off with her residency in the Mendocino Art Center! High Fives! Plus there’s lots of artists up there who self is just dying to meet.
Followers of self’s fan fiction also know that she is up to 17 chapters, 288 hits, and 14 kudos.
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!
Although nephew Chris Blackett asked for her fan fiction pen name, IXNAY to that because, you know, fluff! Too much fluff!
Here’s another picture that’s emblematic of NEW MINDSET:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
