After my father died, my mother stayed with me for a month. We comforted each other. Over-sensitive to life?s fragility, I obsessed with efforts to leave a legacy. My mother, who loves to arrange flowers, and I put together this picture one afternoon.

I once methodically traversed the waterfronts of Seattle over a year or so. Noting that I had completed the Lake Washington waterfronts, I decided to start at the canal joining Lake Washington and Lake Union this weekend. The area turned out to be industrial. In a commercial shipping yard, I saw these these two ships: one massive blue tanker and the other a small brightly colored towboat.

Inspired by Weston's green pepper studies, I went out to the supermarket looking for interesting looking vegetables. I found this red pepper after enduring the wrath of a few annoyed customers.
