pink & green, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. These bright flowers are ‘cherry’ nasturtiums. They are a neon pinky-red color, though the lighting in this photo shows them as a paler pinkish hue. They bring me joy every time i walk in my front door, where they bubble out of their huge pot and send trailers [...]
A thought gem from this article:Greg Dening, “Performing on the Beaches of the Mind: An Essay,” History and Theory 41 (Feb. 2002): 1–24. “I read fast most of the time. That is because reading books…is my conversation with the world. My eyes are ahead of my mind when I read fast. I gobble sentences, paragraphs, [...]
daisy yellows, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. I look at this petite little daisy and I see the strength of one. In a sea of people we sometimes wonder if one person can ‘make a difference’, or if we really even matter at all. But I think we do, each of us! I’ve been thinking a [...]
peachy-orangey-red, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Went on a short trip to my favorite plant nursery today. Today I was feeling like bright pink, red, and yellow. I chose a few new flowers for the garden, including this one!
I’ve been swimming in the mornings lately. Nice brisk athletic swims for about 45 min/day. I love the swimming part but I loathe exiting and entering the gym proper. There’s something about a one-legged woman on crutches that just sticks out like a sore thumb in a space devoted to ‘fit-ness.’ Yesterday there was this [...]

After Sara’s post about the emotions in photos, I’ve [...]
dandy-lion, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Photo: closeup of a dandelion clock When I was a kid it was such a treat to blow the fuzz off of a dandelion clock. I still enjoy it, but not when I find them in my garden (hmmmm…do you think it any coincidence that they only seem to pop [...]
If “La Vie en Rose” is playing in a theater near you, I highly recommend that you watch it. It’s well-crafted, well-acted, and quite moving. A biopic about French singer Edith Piaf, it’s not hagiographic. She was certainly human: selfish, addicted to drugs and alcohol, etc. But she also experienced enormous tragedy: her only child [...]
spiky, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Photo: closeup of purplish round spiky flower Not sure what this flower is–I encountered it at the Huntington Library. It was just so alien-looking that I thought I’d try for a photo. Because it was bright outside it looks a bit washed out on the edges. Were I to use [...]
wildflower, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. photo: orange daisy-like flower with dark mosaic center. This flower was among those that I dug out from my sister’s yard in preparation for her move. I’m just loving it and its floral companions in my garden! Such a bright spot in my day :) Today they load the truck [...]
