GRIZZLY PEAR
From episode 160, the assignment was Horizon
Visually I actually kind of prefer the black and white version because it is so visually striking, but I think the color photo both captures the “horizon” of the assignment and is much more mundane, which is was the point of the shot.
waxing gibbous
the lawn chair becomes a slide
in the grey light
outstretched hand
a slice of apple
feeding daddy
The decade
Passed
A blink
Boxes
Waiting in
Mom’s shed.
eating an apple
she wails
outstretched arm
as daddy heads to work
with a big grin
she waves byebye
and turns the corner
around the blooming rosebush
Pigeon coos
Baby squawks
Computer hums
in the gray dawn light
In from the backyard,
She proudly holds a rose petal
For mommy!
Standing in the early morning light
Swaying my child to sleep
A bird chirps alone in the dark
My coworker Frances calls the 30×42 drawings bedsheets, but the 24×36 set is big enough for a baby!

Thanksgiving had a duck, cheesecake, mashed potatoes and minestrone soup.
Saturday had porkchops with apples and portobello mushrooms. The recipe came from Mark Bittman’s Basics – which is really a nicely structured book – with a couple modifications, instead of onions I used mushrooms and in lieu of wine I just used apple juice. I was surprised how all these came out. Maybe I’ll be getting into cooking or something now. I think my wife would appreciate it!
