Daily Photo: 20190125 Pottery bowl with treasures

The light this morning was soft and pretty, evenly overcast, so I took two things out onto the deck, set them on the table.

One was this pottery bowl that my friend June gave to me years ago. Whenever I find something interesting, I put it in the bowl. It gets full and I remove a few items and continue on.

It always contains the three barnacle-covered rocks found here on Whidbey, the rock I wrapped in Japanese paper and then added a metal button to, and some agates we found on the Oregon coast. The other items come and go.

It's always out. It's one of my prized possessions. As is my friendship with June.

The other item I photographed was an old bottle. I wasn't pleased with the results, so the bowl won out! Another day for the bottle . . .

P.S. I'm a morning person, not a night owl. So my Daily Photo often doesn't get processed/uploaded until the following morning. That explains why very often the "daily photo" date is yesterday and the posting date is today. Not that you really care . . .

Around the house . . .

There's a small pottery bowl sitting on a cabinet where I put little treasures, including a rock I wrapped in Japanese paper and added a metal button. Thank you, June, for the bowl. I love it still.

Around the house: beach treasures

Whenever I go to the beach, I always bring something home with me, some treasure that caught my eye, a little surprise, something interesting.

Right now, in a little turquoise pottery bowl that June White gave me (thank you, ma'am), you can see a heart-shaped rock, a couple of agates, some smooth stones, a stripey dark rock, and a couple of rocks that have small barnacles attached. The agates are from Oregon and the barnacles are from Whidbey Island.

Hoping to make this a daily routine, a daily post. Wish me luck!

Shout out to June . . .

It was six years ago today (or yesterday) that I met June, one of my favorite students (at least that's what I told her), who was out on the Oregon coast and stayed with us a few days before moving on. We took her to the fishing boats where Capt. Tom Morrison kindly invited us aboard. Here's a link to my post about that little adventure:

So hello today to you, June!
