Reluctant Self-Portrait, 5 July 2011

I took this photo while on holiday in Seattle with my son recently…it was the slogan in the window of a new condo across from our hotel. I originally took the photo because I liked the phrase–I do believe change is good and that it is also good to challenge yourself and the status quo–butContinue reading “Reluctant Self-Portrait, 5 July 2011”

After the Rain…

By now regular readers of this blog have probably figured that I enjoy taking photos; I have since I’ve been a teen. I gave it up for a few years–for various reasons–but with the ease of digital cameras today I’d be hard pressed to find out why a person wouldn’t want to take pictures…take aContinue reading “After the Rain…”

Love at First Bite

No I am not turning into a vampire, I’m referring to the first bite of tomatoes from my garden this year. It’s sort of a ritual of mine to eat the first tomato of the season straight from the vine, which I did tonight (the one in the foreground). Though I have a fair amountContinue reading “Love at First Bite”

Biking in the City: Two Short Videos

I am an urban cyclist not only because I think it’s fun (and saves money, the environment, etc.) but also because it makes the most sense…indeed it is often quicker–and less stressful–to get from point A to point B by bike in the city. Anyhow, with that in mind, here’s a couple short videos. TwoContinue reading “Biking in the City: Two Short Videos”

Cabbage: Two Views

Maybe I’m a little strange (OK, I am a little strange) but I find this truly beautiful. Two cabbage plants in the front yard on a warm evening as the sun was hitting them just right…almost sensual aren’t they? (Click the image for a larger view.)

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#337 & #338)

A canvas book bag containing various books and writing implements, 4lbs of raw whole wheat bread dough, a large bunch of fresh dill and oregano (from my garden), a large munch of cilantro/coriander from a neighbors garden, and a 10lb. pork leg (fresh ham) from T-Meadow Farm (thanks Christa).
