If I still take over a dozen photos on a slow day, why am I so quick to feelings of failure? I think only the good photograph I took today is going to be used for this project. In order to not give that away, here's something else.

One of her tricks; placing her paw in my hand.

I had a great day to myself (a very needed day). I got a lot accomplished and never felt rushed. If only it weren't almost over.

Too bad I can't take credit for this creation. I just found and photographed it on my walk back from the library on 6th Ave in Park Slope.


Tonight's dinner and subsequent leftovers for the week: black bean stew (with mango!)

Today I took a lot of pictures I liked (well more than usual). I had to refrain from uploading them all. I went birding in the morning and canoed the rest of the day. Ah, isn't work great?
Here are some of my favorites:

Jewel weed

My (creative) energy went into dinner tonight. I wish I could cook like this (for someone!) every night; Coconut marinaded tofu (a recipe I made up), mango lime rice, and green beans with peanut sauce, sesame seeds, and curry.

These pictures are not from a weekend outing, but now where I work! Inwood Hill Park.


After a long week (and month) I'm leaving for the weekend and heading home. Sigh of relief.

Very bad day. It kind of felt like this. Only worse.


I wish it felt more like this.

If I added some color maybe this would be more readable. At 8 am I was happy with it. By 8 pm I'm not.

5:08pm. Why am I in the Bronx?!

I went exploring today and ended up walking through Alphabet City, across FDR Drive, and along the East River Promenade. Walking without headphones on (for once) become a much better way to really take everything in. Although I love music (when played through headphones) it can easily become a barrier. I experienced a whole other sense today that makes up a neighborhood. Plus, many more people came up to ask me what I was photographing, smiled and sneaked over to see what I was drawing, and asked directions.

A bad drawing (and bad scan) on the train ride this afternoon


And a throw back to a much better drawing (sent in part, as a letter to a good friend and fellow artist)

And a weekend craft: reusable produce bags. Imagine all the green beans to be bought...
