Unsharp Saturday
Good morning world! I think it’s time to teach some oboe students … right? But first, for “Unsharp Saturday” on Google+ …

A Rose At Kaiser
I love that the Kaiser medical offices we visit have beautiful things both inside and out. They have artwork on the walls, and in reading the info by works it appears that they use local artists. very cool! (Gee, I wonder how one gets work shown there?!)
The outside has beautiful flowers, and the roses are currently in full bloom. Today I was there and took my camera along. This was one of the first roses I visited. Unfortunately I saw no tags, so I don’t know what it is. I do know it’s beautiful!

Nigella damascena (I), 4.22.15
(I hope I’ve identified this correctly, but if not I’ll correct it later. The flower fits, but I don’t see the lacy bracts that are usually around it.)
One Year Ago Today
… I was at the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. I have only now returned to all the photos I have from that day. Here is one of the first I made:

First Shot
Home from my close to (but not quite) six mile walk. The letter of the day is W … for wind! I didn’t do a ton with the camera, but of course I did a bit. This is just a first shot. I think it might work better in B&W. I’m too lazy to do much about that right now, though.

National Earth Day
While we are on this dusty planet it seems to me we should be good caretakers. It’s not all about us. It’s about our children, our grandchildren … and about doing what is right and good. I not only pray for rain — something beyond our control — but pray for good stewardship. I pray we stop doing damage. I pray we find ways to undo the damage we have already done.
Yes. It’s National Earth Day. I’d prefer, though, that we keep caring for our one and only place to live every day. It just seems like good and right.
And now I think I need a walk. Here’s just a small bit of Yosemite National Park … not one of the icons, but just something that I like.
