Glimpses of Beauty
Yesterday I took two walks. In neither walk did I go far from our apartment. I wanted to take a few pictures to give you an idea of the beauty around me.

Thank you.
Oh quilly….that is such a beautiful place. Again, I am terribly envious, but am so glad you got to go and enjoy such a nice place with your Amoeba . 🙂
amberstar’s last blog post..Stealing from Thom
Amber, alas, I am on vacation but Amoeba is not. He teaches from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and since much of it is field work he takes his lunch with him. Then he comes home for dinner and stays about an hour before returning to the lab to prep for the next day’s lessons, or he stays home and works on papers.
I loved the pictures. It looks better than Hawaii.
Dr. John’s last blog post..Part 2 What Kind Ogre
Dr. John — I don’t know about better, but wonderful just the same.
can
not
wait!
Nancy — Neither can I! Let us know which ferry you’ll be getting on so I can meet you. I don’t know if Amoeba will be in class or not (depends on what time you arrive).
What a lovely place to stay. Like the location of your apartment. Thanks for the pictures.
bettygram’s last blog post..The bird house
Betty — the island is lovely. I’m glad you’re likeing the photos. Stay tuned for more!
I am so loving sitting here and catching up with you. Thank you for being so patient with me,.
You are in Friday Harbor? How fun! I plan on going there sometime. Hubby and I went to Orcas Island a couple of years back for our anniversary and loved it.
Jues~’s last blog post..Back At The Beach…..
Jules — we are on in Friday Harbor. It is a lovely little town and you should come see it.
oh and your picture of the dandelion….made me laugh because of little Kekoa over here. He loves those. He stalks up to the all secretive like and pounces while enveloping it in his mouth. Even when the seeds are freely blowing in the wind they fall victim to his terror.

Kekoa — dandelion stalker! LOL!
