A Week of Randomness

We're still in the midst of remodeling.
Patience is a much-needed commodity.


I removed everything from my entry wall for the painters.
My husband suggests I replace the antique photos of relatives
with some of my own photography.
Mmmm - we'll see.



I admire the perseverance of the Bristlecone Pine.
Though gnarled and bent, it yields and endures.
(However, lately, I'm less like the tree and more like the cones - bristly!)


Early in the week, I hiked a path of gold.
Thank goodness for the time I spend outdoors.
It renews my spirit.



Snow clouds approached yesterday as I took my walk.
This morning Angelica, my garden angel, wore a white shawl and muff.


I met a black bear on the trail this week.
I wrote about the encounter at Live and Learn.
I'm glad to say both the bear and I survived.

Thank you to my blog friend, Nancy,
who hosts

  8. Hi, Barb!
    I always like your photos. Those antique photos of your relatives are also lovely. Wow, big footprints of the bear! Be careful!

  9. I went back to check your bear encounter and I can only say "Good Grief." Your calm was amazing.
    As for the pictures, relatives deserve a place but I agree with your husband, your photos definitely deserve being displayed. Maybe a compromise?

  10. I think you should display your work, too. Good idea, Bob!
    Love you muted fall colors.

  11. I absolutely agree, you should hang some of your art work, I am sure the relatives won't mind at all. I had several of my pieces done on canvas and love them. I will forward you their latest sale, they are extremely reasonable & fast. Do it, you will enjoy it. And snow, again?? It is coming, ready or not, but I think you are ready. Hugs.

  12. What a good idea to put your own photos there on the entry wall. And if these are any indication, I think your husband was 'spot on' Barb.
    Isn't it wonderful walking through a forested area....so very cleansing indeed.

  13. I agree with your husband and the other commenters - that your work would look good there. You have so much to choose from! Although, your current display of the relatives has interest and appeal. What a creative idea to hang other objects in the midst.

    How about he bear prints on the wall? lol
