breakfast at Temple coffee, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. This is how I work best, methinks–with all the necessities close at hand!
Two pillars., originally uploaded by mind on fire. A teammate leading me in a guided meditation/relaxation prior to our race. I really had the jitters and was quite exhausted due to recent travel and general lack of sleep–not to mention the emotional drain from my grandma’s funeral the day before. As always, I just had [...]
grandma’s photos, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Isn’t she gorgeous and what a wedding dress! Do you see any family resemblance? :)
St. Francis, this is why I adore you, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. LVII SOME keep the Sabbath going to church; I keep it staying at home, With a bobolink for a chorister, And an orchard for a dome. Some keep the Sabbath in surplice; I just wear my wings, And instead of tolling the bell [...]

garden, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. I’m not doing anything particularly special to celebrate Earth Day today, just my typical ongoing attempts to live lightly on this planet (eating local, composting, etc). What about you? Any Earth Day plans?
WAP: Behind the scenes., originally uploaded by mind on fire. Always working on that ‘perfect’ flower picture (lucky for me that I’m tall and I have long arms…)
The Ukrainian egg CatGirl painstakingly dyed., originally uploaded by mind on fire. CatGirl has an eye for detail and loves working in miniature. She spent hours on Easter Eve crafting the detailed patterns of this Ukranian (Pysanky?) egg. I feel awed to have such talent in our family.
Reading is Sexy, originally uploaded by mind on fire. This is an older pic (taken last August), but I ran across it today when I was looking for something else. We staged it as a bit of a joke, but it brought a wave of fondness anyways when I looked at it and realized just [...]
sunrise in yellow, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Headed to a mountain retreat to celebrate spring, just as our family did last year when I took these daffodil photos. This year I’m looking forward to time with Friends, hours to spend playing games & giggling, tasty gourmet food (incl world-famous apple pie!), and the space for [...]
GameBoy, in Penguin formality., originally uploaded by mind on fire. So the question is now: is he a man, or is he a boy? Some of my previous birthday tributes:–2008–2007–2006 PS: I like how GameBoy and Ellycat are both wearing their penguin suits in this photo :)
CatGirl and the Blue, Blue Sky., originally uploaded by mind on fire. I love the way Catgirl is completely absorbed in the moment here. No worries, just pure joy. And, of course, the azure California sky is always the perfect backdrop… Pic by John
