Indian River at Sebastian

It was good to be
Out on the river again-
'Brought back memories...

Yesterday was a warm and pleasant day,
here in FLA.
When I went outside in search for the cat
I found her lounging elegantly across the car.
She's very photogenic...

White Phalaenopsis Orchids

Wandering around
near flowers, and the beach-
Then beers, perfection!

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

I went with my sister Debra,
to a nearby Garden Festival.

My sister went with a wagon with a mind to buy plants,
from the varied vendors.
I went to observe, and take photos...

Back in the garden...
The colors and blooms cheer me
And the warm weather...

I had a nice weekend visit with my sister & brother in law at their place.

But I've caught a cold,
and now I'm recuperating...

Hello all!
I've been settling in and finding my way here,
in the Sunshine State...

I'm grateful for my family's love and care...

I'm starting over, in a new place.
A lot of exploring of new possibilities, sketching,
some culture shock, some laughs, experiencing the beach, of course,
some reconnecting, and meeting new people;
it really is an adventure!

”Light, And Shadow”

I did not have to
travel far, to view blossoms-
For now, this will do...

© 2022 Pamela MacCarthy

I took this photo in my neighborhood,
the cold winds kept me from going to Kyodo no Mori park...

Because of the cold weather, the viewing of the Ume Matsuri (Plum Festival)
has been extended, to March 21st, this year...

I have a concert this Friday I don't want to be sick for!

I will visit very soon, and take photos of their gorgeous and varied plum blossoms!

In Memoriam

Recently, I've learned of the passing of 2 friends.
Glenn G., a guitarist and friend, from my first band "The Watkins Family",
has passed away.
There are so many memories of those times, music played together,
and the laughs and crazy times...
I've known him since we were teenagers.
He was a very talented person.
God Speed, Glenn...

Another friend from my Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) class,
Rebecca, has passed on.
She was a kind and gentle person, I will remember her smile.
I have many memories of us all together, enjoying our class and each other's company...
God Speed, Rebecca...

" Horizontal ”

I chose an overcast day to visit the park's plum festival,
this year-
Without the deep blue sky as a backdrop,
or the bright sunlight's shadows...

I like the muted softness of this overcast light,
how it brings out color and shapes...
