I’ve been editing digital photos like they are going out of style, so I took a break to scan some of my recent Impossible Project Polaroids taken with my (sister’s) SX-70 camera. This little triptych is from my adventures in picking figs off my mother’s fig tree, which is exploding with deliciously beautiful fruit this year (and every year). The cardinals and the wasps love them too, so they need to be picked pretty much every day this time of year to ensure they don’t get overripe on the tree. Plans for this year’s crop include fig ice cream (made by me) and fig chutney (made by my mother). Mmm . . . I can’t wait! In the meantime I will eat them fresh.

Note: As with the rest of the photos on my blog, you can click it to see it larger.

It’s been a bit over a week since I returned from my west coast trip and I have finally made it through all the photos from the San Francisco portion of the trip. Here is a selection of some of my favorites. More can be seen here. I am ready to go back for more!

Well hello there. I am back from a nice two week trip with my mother and sister to the west coast. With the exception of a visit to the ER and a flat tire, things went pretty well. It was particularly refreshing to wear layers and look forward to going outside each day. I will start posting photos from the trip as soon as I get a little further into them. I was a bit trigger happy using the new camera so I have an enormous amount of editing to do. Photos from the San Francisco leg coming soon . . .
