In between rain showers I rode to the P.O. and got out to take pictures of Madrone trees. I'm obsessed with getting a good picture of a madrone--getting closer.

| baby shore pine and tan oak |
Then I decided to document December flowers.
 |
| honeysuckle |
 |
| Rock rose |
 |
| vinca |
 |
| Lotus--gold flash. Loved by the hummingbirds |
 |
| Rosemary |
 |
| geranium--no flowers, but cool leaves |
 |
And...a black mushroom
|

| A neighbor's yard, home of an extended family of gophers. Ed trapped three and speared one last spring and I trapped three as they worked through the pea vines during the summer. |
During the past couple of wet afternoons I have been repainting living room walls with a water-like pattern of streaks of blue, light grey, dark grey and then I washed it with a diluted sea foam green.
Today was almost oppressive with low dark clouds. I went to Brookings to attend a Progressives' brunch. I never seem to make the events so it was good to meet some like-minded people who had also listened to Bernie Sanders' rant / filibuster / Berniebuster yesterday. The group was interesting and thoughtful and I have an invitation to do the Christmas bird count in Del Norte County next weekend.
