As I made my way home this evening, I decided to stop to pick some wild sunflowers. They are all over the place creating small seas of sunshine. Once I got home, I took a few photos to unwind. As I wrapped up, I heard this rapid buzzing sound. When I looked up, I was […]

For reasons that I’d rather not mention here, Chicago was a city that I did not enjoy. I mean, all of my previous trips were the stuff of nightmares. Ones where you wake up because you thought you jumped off a tall building and was free falling or something. When I booked this most recent […]

For shits and giggles, I used an iPad as a light table to illuminate this white henryi trumpet lily. I, then took a few photos of it with my iPhone using Camera+. After I was done playing with Camera+, I realized that I should capture this with my “real” camera. This was a fun & […]

While navigating the vendors, I got really excited when I saw some good looking collard greens. You know, I love me some collard greens. I plan on lightly sautéing then with some onions, a […]
When I saw him walking across the plaza at Lincoln Center, I tried not to look but how could I not? He was there to be seen so I indulged a bit. I’m not gonna lie but he reminded me of a cross between an Oompa Loompa and one of those winged monkeys from “The […]
Last winter, it seemed as if every other New Yorker that I encountered had on one of these cool funky looking knit hats. Some were some kind of animal, some were just wild! I wanted to get one really bad & they were everywhere but I did not want to deal with picking lint balls […]
