    November 11, 2017
    November 10, 2017. The day was almost a write-off because of jet lag. I was up in the middle of the night and slept all morning. But in the evening I was able to do some writing. Anyhow, this is Lexi, and the red is the string she loves. She spends a l...

    November 7, 2017
    November 7, 2017. This is a frying pan hanging in the kitchen. Its best days are probably behind it, but I've had it since forever and used it for things like cooking over the campfire. You can just barely see it on the picnic table in this photo from ...

    October 29, 2017
    October 28, 2017. This was just an impulsive snapshot with the 50 mm lens. It's definitely not the thing to use to photograph flying geese. And yet I like this photo a lot. So there you go. Spent the day running errands as we prepared for my trip early...
