... Moments will soon pass, and you will wish you had treasured them more.
This little succulent plant was given to me several years ago by my mother, who was in her late 80’s at the time.
I didn’t want to hurt my mother's feelings, so I humored her by putting it in a pot and sticking the pot in a remote corner of my back yard. I figured the plant would die shortly and I wouldn’t need to care for it any longer.
As with many of the things I have taken for granted in my life, turned out that my Mother was the one to die, not the little plant. I've learned to appreciate life as it happens.

I took my pooch for a walk along the ocean-front path in Laguna Beach today. She was a good girl, waiting patiently while I framed this shot. It was a good day !!

Cloudy skies and a gentle drizzle kept me close to home today, but my garden offered a bright spot: a geranium, just beginning to bud. The sight sparked a memory, and soon Karen Carpenter's voice filled my ears with "We've Only Just Begun" as I worked on this photo.
🎶 Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walking and learn to run. And yes, we've just begun 🎶

Geraniums:
Want to add a splash of happy to your life? Geraniums are your answer. These guys are bursting with bold, beautiful blooms in all sorts of colors, and they're super easy to care for. Just pop them in a sunny spot, give them a little water, and watch them thrive, whether it's on a windowsill, patio, or hanging basket!

Went over to the coast for a couple of hours to check out the afternoon weather.
Spotted these sailboats heading back to harbor just ahead of an approaching storm.
Every boat made it to safety, and all was good at the end of the day.

It's starting to get hot in Southern California, so I chose a leftover chrysanthemum from a 4th of July bouquet for an indoor photo project. It was a good way to distract myself from watching more videos of the ongoing flood tragedy in Texas.

Mono Lake, nestled in California's eastern Sierra Nevada, is renowned for its extraordinary saline environment, dramatic tufa towers, and the incredibly productive ecosystem it sustains.
This highly alkaline lake provides a unique habitat for brine shrimp and alkali flies, which in turn support millions of migratory birds.
The striking tufa towers, formed by mineral deposits, stand as iconic, otherworldly sentinels around its shores.
Even in the frigid winter, Mono Lake remarkably remains unfrozen, a testament to its high salt concentrations.
Adding to its geological intrigue, the Mono Lake volcanic field, with vents on its northern shore and on Paoha and Negit Islands, was last active mere centuries ago.

My Brother-in-law passed-on last night, leaving us after 82 years. The Mrs. is back home, and life goes on.

The Chrysanthemum:
The Chrysanthemum, aka “mums,” is the Queen of the Fall Flowers, celebrating the season in jewel colors: yellow, lavender, pink, purple, red, bronze, orange, and white. Each bloom consists of tiny flowers called florets. Bloom forms range in size from pincushion petite to giant spiders.
