Magenta paintbrush and lupine



I have a new favorite flower. In case anyone wants to remind me of my grownup goal of frequent bouquets. 

Only problem is,  don't think you get this feeling in a vase.


 Hard to believe I was there a few weeks ago
That said, the routine of normal life was a nice return

September 4


One jar of salsa.

1 pint tomatillos, husks removed, small slash in the top of each
1 jalapeño, chopped, some seeds included, some removed
1 small onion, sorta chopped
Splash of water
Juice from one lime, way older than it should be
Few leaves from cilantro plant on the windowsill

Put the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, and a splash of water in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Simmer until all of the vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally. At some point add the juice of the lime.

Once the onions are soft (they're the slowest to cook, the tomatillos should have become saucy), put everything in the blender. Whir it for a second. Add in the cilantro. Whir a bit more. Pour into jar to use in the next few weeks. Clean out blender with any chips you have around the house.

Kindly refrain from taking the box.

Lunch spot.

Bike race (triathlon?) spied from the bus.

Plants--August 26, 27, 30

End of day and I haven't taken a photo? Ooops! What's growing around here?

August 26


Flowers on the compost tomato plant suggest it might be sturdy enough to transplant outside.

Next step find a proper pot.

This ivy won't take anything over anytime soon.

August 25



Vertical vanishing points are strange.

Not August 24



I failed. Extra from the 25.


Creepy doll. Not the best photo. I'm hesitant to be too obvious about taking a photo on the street, so I don't get the focus and frame just right. iPhoto chops aren't amazing either. May still play with the saturation of this.

Edit: Little bit more playing around. Seashore does work magic.



Thoughts?

Rubber ducky, you'll always be the one.

August 22


Return of the feet!

August 21



Beach party! Mix and mingle. Pic and nic.

August 20


The wedded couple requested photos not be placed online. I'm assuming this is unidentifying enough. Make some noise when the bride comes in anyway.

August 19


Skype lunch date. Also, making use of my treehouse of an office.

August 18


Spiderweb caught leaf twirled into my face.

CSA dinner. Goat cheese and mint stuffed zucchini. Angel hair pasta with tomato sauce. Mint lemonade.

The result of me trying to do this. On the bus. Not a raging success, but I tried.
