  • Vacant Birdhouse

    Vacant Birdhouse

    There were lots of stuff we sold, got rid of, or left behind when we moved here from New York. I kept and brought this small birdhouse on the day we left the East Coast. I remember my companion gave me a kind of funny look. But I didn’t care.

    I painted that birdhouse. I even painted the roof red to match the trim color of our house. It was placed on top of a shadowbox fence under a massive pine tree. There were countless occupants over the years. Yes, this small birdhouse always reminds me of our small white house in New York.

    The paint on the red roof has peeled off and it also serves no purpose now since I have it on the ground. It’s purely decorative, and a remnant of our life before the City Different.

  • La Vida Dulce

    La Vida Dulce

    It’s far from reality, but I do wish everyone would have a sweet life..

    I was drawn by the macarons dedicated to Ukraine. Then I thought about what a cruel, crazy world we are living in.. I guess the title for today’s post might be considered insensitive. I mean no offense to anyone. But I do wish that we all could at least try to get along, no matter what differences we may have in this “me, me, me” society..

  • Sky is the Limit

    Sky is the Limit

    “Listen to your heart.” I remind myself. The future is still unwritten. The most difficult decisions are the ones you care most. When the time comes, you will know..

  • Tree of Life

    Tree of Life

    On the way to the recently restored farm windmill, nobody can miss this tree. I have captured countless variations of the same image. Funny I probably will never get tired of seeing or capturing this tree. There’s something about it that fascinates me. It’s full of possibilities, full of potential, full of life..

  • Change is the Only Constant

    Change is the Only Constant

    Everything changes constantly whether we are paying attention or not. It’s all around us, at every moment. And time, waits for no one.

  • Fading Prayer Flags

    Fading Prayer Flags

    These prayer flags have been there since a few years now. I hung them on the tree for no particular reason, and they are visible from our backyard porch. Oftentimes I just look at them swaying with the wind, my mind would settle somehow and I’d have this calmness as if I could reclaim the strength I need to face this mad world..

  • Early Signs of Spring

    Early Signs of Spring

    The budding yellow flowers of Forsythia are always the first indication that spring is not far away.

    Although I spent a large amount of time in Taiwan this winter, from what I’ve heard it has been a pretty mild winter. It definitely is not a complaint, but I for sure am looking forward for spring to come. Working in the garden is therapeutic for me, very much like taking a walk towards the end of the day..

  • Jazzy Afternoon

    Jazzy Afternoon

    In anticipation of tomorrow’s destructive strong winds, we decided to move our usual Sunday routine ahead of time by one day. My companion did his walk in the neighborhood and I my 5K run. After a shower, we went into town to have a somewhat late lunch at Iconik Red on Cerrillos Road. Upon arrival, there was Jazzy live music playing, which was a really pleasant surprise. My companion doesn’t care much about Jazz, but we stayed longer than usual because he knows that I do..

  • Stickers Speak

    Stickers Speak

    A large collection of stickers on one side of a utility box. Quite a few of them up there I actually recognize. Some of them voice the world we inhabit while many of others promote certain businesses. No surprise there. That’s the world we all live in.

  • Cherry Has Blossomed.

    Cherry Has Blossomed.

    My companion had a scheduled physical therapy this afternoon. After driving him there, I went for a walk in the neighborhood. It’s hard to miss the massive pink trees. Most of the cherry trees in the area have bloomed. It was wonderful being immersed in pink. The world was undeniably beautiful, at least for a moment..
