Having a
retired husband at home,
and that home being thousands of
miles, a time zone, and climate or
two away from "familiar"
is challenging.
On Oahu, I had decades-
long relationships with
trees, streets,
people, places
folkways and
even potholes!
But here, I am a
newbie, trying to discover
what to wear, what to eat,
where to walk.
But I am determined
to walk every day!
I have been so busy looking
and finding, that I have
neglected my photography.
Though many small
moments of beauty
abound in Marin
as in Honolulu.
On my walk,
there is a view of
Mt. Tamalpais across the water
that I really MUST show you.
[If I can remember my camera!]
On my walk I see palms,
and Birds of Paradise,
and other Hawaii plants.
But it is cold. Though the geese
and ducks do not mind.
Seeing a pelican land on water
just a few yards away
is a comic experience.
I am enjoying Fall,
not dreading Winter,
and have just realized:
Spring Will Come!
And won't THAT be
GREAT?!
