#clmooc #smallpoems Find Beauty

Daily Note Every day, a photograph, a poem. Today in some of my feeds, people are growing less accepting of the dark in the world, and taking a stand to find and share the good and beauty within our world. In FB, on Twitter, we claim back the good, the joy, the beauty, the connectedness, the unity of working together. Find BeautyWhen the world festers with gloom and sadnessFind the beauty that…

#clmooc #smallpoems Midsummer Accord -- solstice on the Columbia

Daily Note Every day, a photograph, a poem. Today we ventured down to the river to listen to its roar as the shadows of the park’s trees displayed the long shadows of the evening on the midsummer solstice.

#clmooc #napowrimo #nationalpoetrymonth haiku jumping spider

Jumping Spider Writing Inspiration Today’s Daily Create reminded me of our problem with gnats and wasps— and the little creature that helps us keep them under control— the jumping spiders. And, we don’t have problems with Black Widow spiders if we allow the Daddy LongLegs to share the dark corners of the basement or garage.
