It all begins so innocently, or are they fighting over the book?

If only I could go there again

Joanna always in touch with the world

SUNRISE, just  down from our home: Taunton Lake aglow with a strange beautiful light. I was pulled out of my office by the light, by my own encounter of the third kind

Handsome Charlie, a photographer's dream come true. And he ain't even trying.

A beautiful new begonia this year

The Spring: The Rhodies and Linda's peonies bloom. I love the dark dark ones

Hydrangea as cut flowers

A good year. Sometimes there is nothing. There are many more hydrangeas to observe in the Hydrangea page

Yes, Brooklyn. Wish I had one in CT.

Final flower collection before tonight's (10/31/20) frost.  Still can't believe she is 70 (now 73)

What she collected

Same genes or what?   Linda at 72, Orly at 4. This is my favorite favorite.

Me too– I’m amazed by how I look at 80

Yes, The Tree in the background, struggling but still alive

I'm not big on things, but these are a holy relic. These brushes painted all of Norman Rockwell's masterpieces. He is my idea of a genius.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN BROOKLYN ( photo taken from bedroom window) The photo is pure luck. The decision to buy that apartment -also luck, but it was the views that sold us

Different window, Brooklyn sunset

Not Paris: New Years Eve from the living room window on Plaza Street, Park Slope. Olmstead designed the curved streets leading up to Prospect Park. Grand Army Plaza was originally  called Prospect Park Plaza. The namesake Plaza Street comprised the outer ring. The fireworks were set off in the park. We lucked out with that apartment.

OUR CASTLE ON CASTLE HILL RD 1799 FIXER  UPPER (which lured us in to endless labor– not always a labor of love

PROSPECT PARK ENTRANCE IN THE SPRING (Photographed from kitchen window) Damn it. 

A picture like this starts me wondering if we were right to sell the apartment.

My death defying wife from Long Island (There's actually a simple path here from the main path) Lake Minnewaska State Park is so cool and only 35 minutes away. Oh for those good times, when government mainly did good things with love  instead of the asinine trillion dollars they spend on nonsense every year.

Linda and Yae in Asturias. Always fashionable. Both shoppers in the child's section of Target for their clothes

Thanksgiving in the old house: Linda does it again. (The table her obsession with making  art alive.) The music she writes–God!

What do they talk about at night?

1983. A very very very long time ago. True love. Notice our confidence and hopefulness. Oh to have that back in our 70's
