Cee Neuner has a new series called ANYTHING GOES.
Theme for the week is All One Color.
Here’s a recent picture self took of Dublin’s iconic St. Stephen’s Green, first week of May. St. Stephen’s Green is very aptly named:

Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Forget the name of these flowers, but self had a wee bush back home in Redwood City, California. These are at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Annaghmakerrig.
Here’s the link to the flowers that grew in her garden in northern California. The official name is Alstroemeria “Third Harmonic.”
One day, self will write a story called “Third Harmonic.”
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Share an image that means ‘earth’ to you — whether it’s a panorama of a landscape that takes your breath away, a close-up revealing a detail in nature, or another scene that honors the outdoors . . .

Went for a long walk this morning, in honor of Earth Day. It was peaceful and beautiful by the lake. Here are some pictures:
The first swan she’s seen at the lake this year!
More flowers popping up all over!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!
— Wallace Stevens, quoted in The Daily Post
Yesterday was self’s first walk to the lake in over a month. It’s but a five or 10-minute walk at the most. But self has been busy, and the weather’s been unpredictable.
Yesterday, Esther came to change the sheets. So self took advantage of the break to go out of her cottage. And the first thing she noticed was: close by the cottages, there were suddenly so many flowers! (Has it really been that long since she took a walk? Apparently, it has! Surprise!)
Self had a lovely walk. Spring has truly arrived!
Here are some other beautiful spring shots:
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.”

Giving thanks for gardens all over the world.
Since this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is SYMMETRY (Find a picture that is “balanced in its lines and shapes”), self took some pictures in her garden today, to see if she could find anything that fit the theme.
This is the torso of a wood and metal angel that self bought from Roger Reynolds Nursery a long, long time ago. Sadly, Roger Reynolds is no more . . .
And here is a picture self took almost a week ago, right after a big storm hit Mendocino:

Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Self’s garden is her calming, grounding space when she is at home in Redwood City, CA.
Here’s her garden as it looked last October:
