365 days of images - - Day 300- Oct. 29, 2021 - Linda's Intuitive Images LMH 2021 -- 65 More Days - What Comes Next?

Day 300, only 65 days left of my 365 day challenge.  Time to start drawing up plans for 2022.  I'm still planning on walking, taking images, I'm just not going to do a blog each day.  I've been starting to get ideas of what comes next for me.  A new chapter.  It's hard to leave a life where you were extremely happy and a love that was perfect for you.  I didn't have a choice and it is what must be done.  I know Phil would be proud of my efforts to move forward.  365 days has been a blessing in so many ways, I see it a bridge to what is coming.

Pink skies, breath taking color to start the day.

Pink to muted golds. 

 Lens envy.

The waves were depositing sea treasures on the beach.

Always - waves of life.  

For Phil

I miss you.  Today I read and read about other women going through similar circumstances.  What I read gave me more compassion for myself and the knowledge that there were many woman who lost the love of their life recently.  The descriptions of losing their husbands to Covid were heartbreaking. Just like the day we were told you had cancer....I'm picking myself up and finding my way forward.  You set an incredible example for me, handling everything you had to go through with courage, dignity and love.

Day 200!!!  Yahoooooo!

Only 165 days more, it is hard to believe and I wonder what it will be like when I'm finished.

Long walk and tidal pools.

 

For Phil

A little crabby and missing you.  You would have teased me for being grouchy, suggested I go to Cannery Row and yell at tourists with my window closed.  Ha!  It is the private jokes, looking at each other and just knowing, not to mention sharing what was going on inside that I yearn for.  I miss your humor, the giggle and the look in your eyes.

 

365 days of images - - Day 181 - June 29, 2021 - Linda's Intuitive Images LMH -- Half a Year of Taking Daily Images

I've been working on 365 days of images for a half a year already!  It seemed like a formidable goal and it has been, I'm taking it on one day at a time.  2 -3 hours each morning I walk and watch for good subject matter.  A man asked me one day what I'm taking pictures of, I explained to him, anything that strikes my eye.  I told him that it is that the little girl that exists in me is in charge, I allow her to decide.  I then go through the images from the day, it usually takes me 2 elimination processes before I get to the blog.  The blog usually gets put together right before bed.  I put together a card, the table of contents entry and then post it on Facebook.  It ends up being 4 or 5 hours of my day.  

I know Phil would have been more than pleased with my efforts.  He didn't have a memorial because he passed away during the peak of Covid.  I wanted to do something to give him the remembrance that he deserved.  Each image is a work of love.  It has been a blessing to me too.  It has given me a purpose, somewhere to put the love I have and most of all it has been healing.
 

A sleeping sea otter that was sleeping next to where the Coast Guard was getting their boat ready.  The otter slept through all the goings on.  A couple of gulls with crabs and one with a purple sea urchin.  The one with the urchin seemed to have a fishing hook in its bill.  I tried to get close to help, but he flew away.  

Sea lettuce decorated the beach and rocks near the wharf.

A pelican ducking from a sea gull that was dive bombing it.

Harbor Seals rest on the rocks.

I'm dog sitting this week on the side of the peninsula that has sunsets.....
