Very impressive that you know those plants and flowers by name. Hope the muse returned to the laptop with you.
Well, most of them anyway!
Jannine, I'm glad to know the name of the plant-Mule's Ear. Perfect name for it! Excellent exercise routine for you and Ginger...to get the blood flowing nicely. I find that writing on my boat is a constant source of inspiration. Whether I'm watching the comings and goings at a marina or tucked into a cove on the hook, the scene charges me up. But I MUST add the exercise part...I bought a little peddler this year...I HAVE to use it daily!
While I love flowers, for me, it's the birdsong. I could listen to birds all day as they happily chirp from their branch of choice. Being out in the woods is a special treat.
Margo, those are the ONLY ones I know. Why do you think I took those pictures? LOL
Rolynn, I work at a boat ramp on Lake Tahoe in the summer. The people watching (especially around the 4th) is definitely inspirational - especially if you want a few crazies in your next book! I can see where the exercise part could be a challenge living on a boat. The peddler sounds fun.
Vonnie, I've got the windows and doors open, and the blue jays are squawking up a storm outside. Yesterday a raven swooped so low over our head it made Ginger jump. Apparently birds are only fun to bark at if they stay up in a tree. LOL Yep, I couldn't survive without my woods.
You have a beautiful place to walk! The yellow flowers look a bit like primroses, but are lovely even without a tag. :>)

Your woods are so inspiring, Jannine. Maybe next spring Hubby and I can drive up to Tahoe. I find inspiration in nature too and am enjoying exploring the beauty of our new surroundings.
Ashantay, I'm not sure what they are. I even looked the yellow ones up in a wildflower book, and still couldn't figure it out. Thanks for stopping by.
Alison, spring lasts about 3 weeks in Tahoe between the last snow storm and the beginning of the summer season. We should have a Rose of Prose gathering up here in the summer. Not too hot, usually, and oh so beautiful! Carmel would be good, too. Absolutely gorgeous along the CA coast.
Great post, Jannine. What a wonderful place to walk. It must be so inspiring.
Thanks, Diane. It keeps this mountain girl happy!
Jannine -- AWESOME pictures! I am so jeoulous! Miss you! Surprised you didn't do a birthday blog earlier this month ;-)
Yep, I snapped away until I got a few I liked. As for the b-day, nothing to blog about there!
Good advice. I love walking, especially in the woods.
Thanks, Barbara. Walking in the woods is definitely my thing!
