DSC_0022 Ss R-3 G-2 B+1 Cnst-50 Lgt50 8-12-15Leaving after an afternoon with me she stops on the walk outside and squarts down examining something looking back she motions me to come over gets up takes me by the hand to the spot where there is a dead earth worm. In a very solemn voice “it’s a worm he is dead. It is very sad.”

Transition is a big thing for 3YOs from PJs to clothes, etc screaming, whining as mommy brushed her hair to go away for a weeks vacation. Standing there watching sipping on my first coffee mommy finishes she hops down and says to me,

Transition from a toddler to a pre school-er is tough so many changes so many new responsibilities. So much more right out there on the horizon, almost reading, almost able to swim. “I don’t want to wear those shoes!!” This refrain will be a constant. Learning to tell time I hope will make picking shoes and other changes easier.

Sitting in the car while mommy pays a bill we talk of plants, animals simple three Y.O. talk she explains the difference between nocturnal, and diurnal. Golden earring on the radio she asks grandpa do you like this music? Yes I do, do you? ” Not so much.”  Wednesday is concert night in Sylvester Park downtown. Spinning, dancing, running, collecting feathers “grandpa where is your camera bag? Where can I put the feathers?

Not really hungry but she likes the ambiance of cafe society. She is after all my granddaughter. Not tonight maybe tomorrow. What are you doing tomorrow mommy? We are going on a bike ride. From the back “We can stink on the bike trail.” Laughing mommy says we shower after the bike rides. She will be here soon we will be going to the restaurant after my Dr. appt.  enjoy pjc  we certainly will

Well the day dawned in the upper 50’s with the forecast high low 60’s I wasn’t going to be cold or burn so I went in a long sleeve tee a work shirt and my vest. It reached the low 70’s but with the breeze I was perfect. An eventful trip as we bounced along at 50 mph round curves I noticed this women doing eye make up I was amazed. There was a warning noise and a check engine light. We pulled over as the driver contacted dispatch. I went to speak with her and show her my images. On her way to a job interview and her phone not working I gave her my phone to call her appt. On the way back she took the same bus telling us she had gotten the job. Kites, kids playing, horses cars on the beach even a swimmer or two just a normal day at the beach.

Spring Rain Runoff Tumwater Falls

05.16.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // Leave a Comment

Listening to the weather and observing there has been a real shortfall of rain in Western Wa. April 20th around 4 pm part of a five mile walk I came across this runoff at Tumwater Falls Park. The parks trails with the sound of the river rushing allows me to walk along and sing, no one can hear me unless the are standing beside me and by the time they get that close I stop.  enjoy pjc
