It’s Zucchini Season

After I created the 9 image grid, (pics photographed in natural window light) I realized I was missing part of the sequence.
See the 3 pics below in the night kitchen light

One thing I learned from a Gordon Ramsey cooking show, a few years ago, was to place what you’re cooking in an order so you know when to turn which piece. Start at 12:00 noon. Then 1,2, 3 o’clock etc.

It’s Been a While

Tuesday morning on the way to breakfast with my friend Vincie, spotted this couch on the curb. I pulled over in the next block, got out and took the photo.

She asked me what’s with the attraction of photographing the abandoned furniture? These discards?

It’s hard to explain in words but I can tell you they make me feel something.

I think if the furniture could speak, there would be many stories.

I realize they are inanimate objects, unwanted and worn out.

They can’t speak so I have to use my imagination of what they have seen and endured.

Pittsburgh and Columbus have the most couches at the curbs. Chairs, too.

Tiny creatures on front door glass

All the leaves are brown

and the sky is gray

But it’s not a winter’s day

The Buckeye Tree drops brown leaves early in the season.

It was technically still summer when I photographed the backyard in Ohio.
