This was the most amazing natural event I have ever experienced. Usually, when lave meets the sea, it oozes out and drips like candle wax. Or it crawls on lava fingers. But when a chink of land breaks off and the main lava tube is exposed, this is what happens: Let’s back track a little … Continue reading The Fire Hose
As I write this blog, I look out my window and see the bald eagle perched directly across from me. All 7000 feathers of him. My new buddy. Isn’t he splendid? Mr. Al enlarged this shot I took with my iPhone. Did you know bald eagles have 7000 feathers? I just looked it up. … Continue reading 7000 Feathers and a 6-7 foot Wingspan
It’s been many years since I lived anywhere with the potential for snow. And even here, in the Pacific Northwest, if it does snow, it doesn’t last long. But it snowed last week and there’s still a little left. I loved it. Loved the bright white and golden light , the pale blue shadows. I’m … Continue reading Winter Beauty
These are the final days of Chronicles of Cammy. I’m creating a new blog called “The Way of the Saucy Dame.” It will be filled with sauciness (maybe), dame-i-ness (maybe) and, just perhaps, some pithy comments. If, actually, WHEN, this all transpires, I will publish the link to The Way of the Saucy Dame and … Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-changes
I think most of us feel this way. And 2016 seemed so harmless last New Years Day, the scamp. May 2017 be an easier and more graceful year for each of us. Life is short. We don’t have time for bad years… I leave you with an image from one of my Journal Doodles And … Continue reading At last…A Sparkling New Year!
This weekend, I’m back in Eureka celebrating with my son. It’s his 23rd birthday. The little squirts sure grow up fast. The day he was born, it was dreary, bleak with low hanging clouds threatening weather that never happened. Not so today. Today dazzles. The flight down was eaqually dazzling. We flew above the cloud … Continue reading Birthdays
The little mermaids that swam out of my pen this morning in my morning Doodle Journal Session provided me with some gentle wisdom I thought I’d share with you today. They told me that “sometimes floating and relaxing is the best way to move forward.” So that’s what I’m going to do today: float through … Continue reading Floating
Good morning! Happy Sunday Morning Coffee to you. As I write this, it’s Saturday morning and I’m eagerly awaiting tomorrow morning, when I can chill with my coffee and relax my brain. But not today. Today, I’m in Workshop Mode. And I’m glad. I’ve not painted since October and I’ve got a Painting … Continue reading It’s a Wonderful Life
Last night, I had what I call one of my “adventure dreams.” Adventure dreams are usually linear and make sort of sense and are usually kind of wild. My novel, Sky Dancers, began as one of these dreams. This one was a crazy fun one, although I doubt I’ll turn it into a novel. Mr. … Continue reading Saucy Dames Boot Camp
Being gone for two weeks made Thanksgiving…like…here. I mean, HERE. Next week! Which is great. I love Thanksgiving. Love making the turkey and all the fixings. Love the parade with it’s silly balloons. Who’s idea was it, anyway, to create ginormous balloons that struggle to break free so there are a million handlers to guide … Continue reading Turkey Time
