I ❤️ cranberry season.
Two bags of cranberries in a shiny metal bowl. You can see the ball being held by a hand wearing bracelets, and green-socked feet in the background. Photo from above showing several glass jars filled with frothy cranberry sauce. Fresh off the stove!

A little beauty to break up all the doom scrolling. Yes, flowers are still hanging on here in Portland.

Today at the farmers market.

#BeautyBreak #DoomScrollBreak
A colorful array of squashes, including warty orange ones, pale blue ones, and cream and green spotted ones. A bouquet including yellow and orange Dahlias, pale, green eucalyptus, and a central cream and green flowering kale. The bouquet is held by an invisible hand, attached to a black clad arm, held up in front of a rainy street.

Saw some pretty leaves, met some lovely neighbors.

Taking walks while the sun still shines.

A friend saw colors through the clouds at Alki tonight.

Too cloudy here overall. Caught this before gearing up and heading out (to disappointment.) Handheld from my front yard.

If you’ve not read this book, you should. If you have read it, you know why I say this.

Trying not to feel disheartened. It’s tough right now, despite the joy sparked by my breakfast bowl.
Glass bowl filled with barely visible greens, white blobs of feta cheese, cubes of apple, shredded smoked salmon, orange calendula and nasturtium petals, with a red-throated yellow nasturtium flower in the center. Behind the bowl is a blur of green nasturtium leaves still thick in the garden.

Dang but it’s beautiful out today.

Maple leaves in my ombre shades of yellow, red and green. Oak leaves turning gold. Green leaf with pink edges. Probably some kind of currant. More backlit golden maple leaves.

So is this going to turn into SCOTUS allowing him to bring the actually army into cities?

“Crypto was supposed to free us from the chains of government control, but now it is finally revealing what that freedom really means: removing all checks on the power of the wealthy to do what they want, discharged at last from law, supervision & civic obligation — even if the result is autocracy.”

Thursday in Cascadia

#DoomScrollBreak #BeautyBreak #Cascadia #ColumbiaRiverGorge
Woman stands with arms wide and head tilted toward the sky while leaning against the trunk of a large cedar tree about the width of her wingspan. (We’ve been friends since third grade, which was a long time ago now.) Foot selfie with large yellow big leaf maple leaf lying on the trail. The leaf is about the size of both my feet put together. Double waterfall at Multnomah Falls, with arched bridge between the two levels. Blue sky and a mix of yellow-leaved trees and conifers against a slightly cloudy blue sky. View west down the Columbia gorge, toward the fading sun. Mixed clouds on the sky, a sliver of river, and blue bluffs fading into the distance.

Just went through security at PDX. Easy peasy.

Beauty break.

#BeautyBreak #DoomScrollBreak
Iran’s and yellow dahlia flower resting on a small fig tree branch, with the tree’s leaves fully furled in the background. Orange yellow leaves of some plant I don’t know, bright against the background of a shadowed street. Bright red and cold leaves of a maybe sycamore tree against a clear blue sky. Yellow tree leaves against a bright blue sky.
