Looking for the bright spots, but don’t wear rose-colored glasses. Morning walks with the best dog ever keep me sane(-ish). Words to live by: Do no harm and take no shit.

Morning walk… agave in bloom. Looking up you can’t tell but the stalk is at least 20’ tall. It’s essentially created a weird-looking new little tree for us. #bloomscrolling #succulents #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots

Morning walk… this rose bush (much bigger than what you see here) arches out over the lake. The leaves reflected in the lower right are the top of a tall sycamore. Nature heals. #bloomscrolling #roses #photography #lookingforthebrightspots

Morning walk… It’s June Gloom in So-Cal, my favorite season: misty-foggy-cool mornings with the sun showing up by noon. Sending you all peace. #california #nature #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
View of lake with tres on the far shore reflected in the calm water. All is gray (but the photo is full color) and the distance is blurred by the misty fog.

Not from this morning’s walk, but a favorite from a recent trip to Dublin. These giant tulips just glowed in the sun. My photo doesn’t do it justice. #bloomscrolling #tulips #photography #dublin #ireland #lookingforthebrightspots
Close up of vivid magenta tulip petals, wide open to the sun. They glow against the bright green grass behind.

Morning walk… magnolias in bloom are just perfection. #bloomscrolling #magnolias #trees #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
A single wide-open magnolia bloom. Its creamy clean petals stand in stark contrast to the dark green leaves behind it.

2 years ago I bought some poppies but never planted them, due to a family emergency. I just left them for dead, tipped over in their pots thru the winter before finally throwing them out. Last spring a few popped up. This year, dozens. You just never know. #bloomscrolling #california #photography
Large cluster of California poppies in full bloom. Their golden-orange petals glow from the sun overhead.

Just needed something bright and beautiful. Nature knows. Take care. #bloomscrolling #roses #nature #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
Peachy warm pink fully open rose. Ruffled petals are tinged with a light golden glow in the morning sun. Close up shot of large rose with a few other blooms in the background, all surrounded by deep green leaves and stems.

It’s all just upside-down. #clouds #nature #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
Billowy gray and white clouds reflect in calm morning lake surface. Bits of treetops pop into view at the top and to the left. A small circular ripple from a fish is faintly visible in the Lowe right corner. Mostly you’re just seeing the sky upside down.

Morning fog rolls in quickly and the sky is already graying over as I make this post. I love the early morning colors more than any other time of day. There’s a softness that is only real for just a little while. Wishing you all peace. #nature #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots
The sky has a soft blue lightness with fog and low clouds starting to rise and fill in the gaps with their pink-tinged grayness. The nearby hills are starting to fade into the fog and the trees in the foreground a defined contrast to the softer shapes beyond them.

If a peach was a peony… Life keeps lifing and I keep forgetting to post anything. Visited The Huntington a few days ago. Spring there is next level so if you find yourself in LA, add it to your list. #bloomscrolling #photography #huntington #california #peonies #lookingforthebrightspots
Wide open peony with petals of pale peachy gold edged with deeper pinks. Literally if a peach was a peony. Center yellow stamens and bits of green leaves.

Morning walk with wisteria. It’s too hot here for March and it’s too early for them to be in full bloom because it’s too hot too soon (did I mention it’s too hot?) but they smell sooooooooo sweet. #bloomscrolling #wisteria #spring #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
Looking up from underneath a large wisteria vine. Purple blooms hang from their bright green stems in contrast to a light blue morning sky. Wisteria bunches hang lazily from their branches, with calm lake water behind them reflecting the hills above them.

Morning walk with herons. I could watch them all day. #birds 🪶 #greatblueheron #nature #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots

Morning walk with lupine in full bloom. Other than California Poppies, these are my favorite wildflowers. Sending you all peace. #bloomscrolling #lupine #wildflowers #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots
Looking up a slope with purple wild lupine in bloom. Close up front and center of one stalk with more slightly blurred in the background. Green leaves surround the bottom and tall trees and bits of blue sky create a backdrop.

Took my favorite guy for a walk on the beach this morning. He had more fun than he suggests here, I swear! He’s just drama about having his picture taken. #dogs #beach #photography #lookingforthebrightspots

Evening walk with a break in the rain before the sun set. Grateful for this. Wishing you all a beautiful and powerful first day of the Lunar New Year. We ride at dawn. 🔥🐎 #clouds #nature #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots
The hills are a dark silhouette across the bottom with big billowy gray and white clouds above with blue skies beyond. The lowering sun glows through a break just above the hills and a larger cluster of clouds above creates a shape loosely resembling a large heart.

Morning walk with sunshine. That’s all. That’s enough. #nature #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots
Soft sunshine low in the morning sky combined with mist rising in the cold air creates a muted glow with the trees on the left. Bright green grasses and a silhouetted hillside contrast with a bright blue sky with some little bits of clouds and fog scattered around.

May your weekend feel like this, even if just for a bit… rest is essential. Take care out there. #trees #nature #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots
Morning sun glows through a large tree and reflects off the lake. Water is steamy from the cold air but the sky is clear blue. A dock is partially obscured by the reeds and leafy tree but two Adirondack chairs are visible. Relaxation in a photo.

This glorious work decorated the bridge this morning. I am afraid of spiders (I’m that girl) but deeply admire their art and skill. And with the drippy fog, just amazing. #nature #spiders #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
A perfectly spun web hangs from the bridge railing (unseen), suspended over the water with distant trees reflecting in the water. A foggy sky creates a soft and muted mood.

Morning walk after a night of wind and rain. I love this rose, I think it’s beautiful. I also feel like I may have taken a self-portrait… (I’m okay, I promise.) #bloomscrolling #roses #photography #lookingforthebrightspots #nature
Vibrant magenta rose, with hints of golden orange in its petals, soaking wet and semi-flattened in the mud, surrounded by leaves and twigs. It is beautiful.

Morning walk… the low rising sun was catching these succulent leaves just so. #bloomscrolling #succulents #photography #lookingforthebrightspots

This morning’s walk. Isn’t she a beauty? For the love of trees. #californiaoak #trees #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
Standing slightly downhill under a great old California Oak tree. Its canopy is much larger than the lens can capture but its twisting branches are impressive and lit by the early morning sun. An old wooden fence runs behind it along the roadside with green hill beyond.

Morning walk was sunny and clear with lots of early spring blooms. Today we feature narcissus. It’s the little things. #bloomscrolling #narcissus #photography #lookingforthebrightspots

Morning walk with the first lupine bloom. Early this year but I love lupine most of all so it gave me something to smile about. We resist however we can, which sometimes means with small moments of joy. #bloomscrolling #lupine #photography #california #resist #fuckice
A single small stock of purple lupine pops up from the leafy greens in the foreground. Trees and a green hillside recede beyond the brown leaves in the middle of the shot.

Everything else pretty much sucks but LA has decided it’s spring already so we got that going for us. A little moment of zen if you’re snowed in somewhere… hang in there, it’s coming! #bloomscrolling #magnolias #california #photography #lookingforthebrightspots

Treetops and hills are silhouetted across the bottom of the photo while a soft pink glow rises above with a streak of pink and lavender cloud sitting low to the horizon. The color then fades into a soft lavender and periwinkle blue as it ascends into a solidly clear sky above it all.

1 year later. Took PCH to LAX yesterday and while I’ve driven this route many times since it reopened, it’s sobering every time. Traffic stopped so I had time to notice the fresh green fronds growing atop its charred trunk. This is hope. #california #trees #photography #lookingforthebrightspots
A single palm tree stands tall with the Pacific Ocean blue behind it. A chain link construction fence surrounds the area and the palm’s trunk and lower leaves are charred black. Its top fronds are a bright healthy green in contrast.

Morning walk. Saw in today’s news that California is now officially drought free, state wide. As a life-long Californian, this is everything. Looking for the bright spots because it’s necessary. It’s how we get through. Take care of your heart. #nature #trees #photography #california

From W. Kamau Bell’s posted article today… say her name. Scream it loud. We owe her that. ICE kills. #noICE #fdt #resist
On January 7, 2026, I.C.E. killed an innocent person in the streets of Minneapolis. Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She was a mom, a wife, a daughter, a poet, a humble guitar player, a community member who cared. I.C.E. killed her under the leadership of both President Donald Trump and Head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Our political leaders in the House and the Senate must finally stand-up to our rogue president and his administration or there will without a doubt be more innocent Americans killed by I.C.E. Justice for Renee Nicole Good.

I thought maybe a little diversion would be nice. So here are the wild parakeets who believe they own my bird feeder, arriving yesterday during a break between storms. They are greedy and loud but I love them so. Also FDT. WTAF. #bitds #nature #photography #california #lookingforthebrightspots
Wild Nanday parakeets with black heads and green feathers land on a tree top. Four birds in various stages of flight and landing. Billowy clouds behind with glimpses of bright blue sky. See other photo text… same description just more birds.

First morning walk of the new year. Visited my spirit tree, this grand mother of an oak, because I needed to give her hug and feel her strength flow back into me. This is the view from her center. Take of yourselves and each other in the coming year. Peace. #trees #nature #photography
Looking up from the center of a grand oak, with the lens capturing only maybe 10% of her canopy. Her trunk too wide to capture accurately as well. She is much larger than she appears. The sky beyond her wet dark branches and green leaves is barely gray, brightened by the sun that is cloaked by the clouds.

From this past Sunday church, a fellow parishioner. If I’m correct this is a juvenile, a “second winter” California Seagull. Sat with us a good long time enjoying the view and the quiet. Peace to you all. #birds 🪶 #california #photography #nature #lookingforthebrightspots
A seagull stands in the sand, head turned in profile toward the surf rolling in behind. Its mottled soft white and brown feathers indicate its youth. Its beak is gray with a black tip.
