Birthday flowers

Looks like I have been missing in action, hasn’t it?

It’s been a busy month: celebrations of good things, museum visits, meals out, cultural events, mother issues, the daily migraine … and yes, I got lazy.

Most museum exhibits cannot be photographed if there are copyright issues and the material isn’t owned by the museum; this makes it difficult to construct a post with my own work. There are some things I’d like to share but it looks like I will have to rely on internet material. I’ll let you know what is mine and what isn’t.

So, the days of turkey have ended and the season gears up for its final fling and shopping madness leaving us spinning and wondering what just happened.

I will try to reconstruct bits of the month.

I’ll begin with flowers and food.

Flowers: it’s all about color.

Food: it’s all about what’s special. Chef Danny Brown has earned a coveted Michelin star.

What’s left of the garden: stubborn azaleas in November, soon to yield to cold rains. The last of the best tomatoes, grown in containers.
