A slow reentry
Freezing breath to iridescent buds
Framed in a flame blue sky
in the rain
Walked in the rain yesterday. A gray mist filled the air.
My orange rain jacket glowed.
It felt like spring.
Where water lived.
Once not that long ago water lived here.
Housed in a sky barrel.

Shakshuka at home
Putting my favorites together eggs and tomatoes. Adding some spices, onions, and chard makes very yummy.
diagonals where you find them
Finding surprising geometry in unexpected places. A surprise moment when visiting my parents. Beautiful lines and perferations with two diagonal interruptions.
I was so glad to come upon this moment bathed by natural light.
Should we play musical chairs?
Coffee and Biscotti before everything.
A great cup of Java and a so so biscotti.
But the start to a terrific day. This was at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. A great place for locals and tourists. I got there early and it was busy with stand workers stocking and getting ready for the day. Always a pleasant time for sketching, thinking, and taking photos.
Sriracha Skewers please.
Yes. A trip to the Reading Terminal Market and the butcher. Lots of wonderful things. But Sriracha Skewers? Everything about that is awesome. Whats the worse part about making skewers for oven or BBQ? The cutting bits of meat and putting it on skewers of course. Here it is ready to cook with one of my favorite hot sauces. Couldn’t resist.
Winner!
Oh and the lamb skewers were pretty awesome too.
No Amish today.
Yesterday as always we got to the market before it began to fill with tourists. We try to have all our shopping done and have a coffee and tea before the lunch rush and crunch begins. Even in summer it can be impossible to find a chair. This visit we came when the Amish weren’t there. It’s a strange experience when their stalls are empty, they occupy such a large portion of the market.
I wandered past the empty spaces. This photo is the Dutch Eating Place where customers wait three deep for a stool to open up.
