Managed to get out for a walk, thanks to a partner's encouragement. Rewarded with pretty blue skies and fluffy clouds (and lovely company). Bit of happy coming in too, in the form of surprise glows above my coat hook.

Looking up into a blue sky with many varied white(ish) clouds. To the right and across the bottom of the image many different trees can be seen.

$A diamond of rainbow caused by refracted light shades from blue down to reds against a dark-sand textured wall.$

The last few days have had a lot of not-great moments, but there are still smiles, wonder, and beauty too. Trying to remind myself to embrace the #TinyJoy s, time with loved ones, and the good parts of our world.

A panoramic view of the Olympic mountains over a band of waterway, with grey & white clouds streaking the blue sky above and a green field edged by trees in the foreground.

Wednesday's #TinyJoy included a TinyCookie ;)

#xaps2026 #happymaking

A small shortbread cookie shaped like a tiny scottie-dog sits atop brown and cream ice cream in a small clear round dish on a dark brown surface.

yep, fell away from posting again.....but back for #SmallBeautiesHour since I know *I* need some #TinyJoy and #ThreadOfGold moments and I doubt I'm the only one. So, trying. #BecauseOfClem

Black silhouettes of trees reach up on either side of the image, bracketing a muted sunset sky that ranges from medium dusky blue at the top to light purples and pale cool tones in the middle to light and then darker pinkish-oranges at the treeline.

For today's #SmallBeautiesHour some of last weeks #TinyJoy s and #NatureLove

#BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold #happymaking

Green forest space full of many plants, including low ground cover, Shrubbery and bushes, and many tall trees. There are hints of Blue Sky peeking among the tree trunks

A closeup of tree bark with small beads of amber and red sap. One yellow glob is lit up by the Sun, giving the appearance of a glow

A small cluster of whitish ghost plants grow out of brown soil underneath the green leaves of neighboring plants.

I'm not the only one enjoying the harvest? Photographed exactly as found when I went out to water this morning (plus really poor shot of a very lovely sky this evening)

An empty green strawberry hull with one inch of stem attached sits in sunlight on a grey railing.

An evening sky at the edge between sutset and dusk, with shaded clouds giving texture. A small building sits in shadow at the bottom of the image.

First harvest!

A bright red strawberry glows in the sunlight on a light grey railing.

A few June catch-up pics.....

#TinyJoy #NatureLove #happymaking #RightOutsideTheDoor #MyNeighbors

A curled-up white-spotted deer fawn can barely be seen among bright green very tall field grass.

Three small white flowers with golden-yellow centers grow amid the green rass and brown ground.

A black-tailed deer doe appears to be bathing her small white spotted fawn in the tall grasses of a meadow in front of a dark tree line. The lighting of the image gives the impression that it was taken through a window also reflecting some sunlight.

Pinkish-orangeish-purple sunset clouds below a shaded blue sky are visible between the dark silhouettes of trees

Growing things are #happymaking bits of #TinyJoy and #NatureLove

Strawberry plants in dirt, with a tiny blossom visible as well a a couple small berry-starts.

Two oval metal planters full of dirt on a deck, with many greeny feathery carrot leaves covering the left end of both.

A few bits of #TinyJoy from a recent visit to #KubotaGarden

A cluster of sezeral small pink flowers on green foliage

A small waterfall cascades over rocks, surrounded by greenery and several multi-colored floral bushes.

Landscape with multiple varieties of flowers and plants layered; flower colors include red, yellow, pink, purple, blue, and green, all in a Japanese-style garden setting

The rest of my week: walked at a local trail the other day after some good med news, started May by visiting the beach on the other side of town, helped with a 'yard warming', and walked around the neighborhood.

Woodland ferns with gently curling new growth at the ends

$A gathering of green "Herb robert" plants, growing in almost fractal-looking patterns.$

Many weathered logs lie on sand scattered with patches of green plants in the foreground, leading to a sun-dappled rippled bay. Across the water you can see the shadowy silhouette of land and mountains, and in the upper right corner there is a glare that shows the sun is shining brightly just off-screen.

A rusty-brown metal ring sits in the dark, with a small campfire burning inside.

Finally back out for a bit of a walk

Tiny pinkish-purple blossoms cover the ground and the tree above. Other trunks can be seen in the background, and green plants are growing up through the petals.

A sunset sky shines behind silhouetted trees, with dramatic clouds framing patches of pale blue sky

Got stuck in my head a bit again, but there were bright spots #TinyJoy #happymaking #NatureLove #NaturesBeauty #RightOutsideTheDoor #xapCrafts

A spotted towhee sits on a branch in the midst of a raspberry thicket. There are green leaves all around, and various tree trunks can be seen behind.

Sitka willow catkins blooming on several branches next to the corner of an aged red-painted wood building.

A variety of spruce, elderberry, and other bright green trees reach to a brilliant blue sky. A gravel drive can be seen running up through the hilly meadow.

A brown and white tabby cat sits on the white sill of an open window looking out over a green field. The walls around the window are a muted light orange.

Baked some Cheddar bread Tuesday

#xapBakes #TinyJoy #happymaking

A very dark-golden brown round loaf of bread sits on a white cutting board. A silver bread knife with a white handle is below.

A golden brown round loaf of bread sits cut open on a white cutting board on a dark table. The cut sides show a bright yellow cheese swirl in the white bread.

A closer look at the cut side of a rustic round of bread, highlighting the bright yellow cheese swirl in the white bread.

Today's walk cut short due to knee issues, but did see a fair few wild salmonberry blossoms while out 😊 #happymaking #TinyJoy #NatureLove

Small dark pink flowers bloom on russet brambles. Much green foliage is visible below, with still-bare trees behind.

A white door with a distinct blue center panel. In the middle is a white sign with black text reading "POLICE TELEPHONE / FREE FOR THE USE OF PUBLIC / ADVISE & ASSISTANCE OBTAINABLE IMMEDIATELY / OFFICERS & CARS RESPOND TO ALL CALLS / PULL TO OPEN"

A beautiful ending to a wonderful day (Saturday)
#happymaking #TinyJoy #BigJoy #NatureLove

An orange sunset shines out from behind an island horizon, coloring gently rippled water that reflects varying shades of deep darker blues and oranges. There are dramatic clouds in the sky, and large weathered logs & driftwood in the foreground.

My afternoon's #TinyJoy is a TastyJoy 😊 Thank you Friday Afternoon

The back wall of a shop, featuring three long rows of large jars full of loose leaf tea. The glass door to the street is visible at the end of the counter.

From the last three days: More signs of spring continue to add #TinyJoy to walks 😊 And it really is beautiful here 💙 (Only using (mediocre) phone camera most of the time means pics don't really show what I get to see, esp starry nights, but tried anyway).
