to move toward the light
You may recall the breathless excitement that I brought back from my trip to Sicily early last fall.
I am still breathless when I think about it, so this starts a week of photos from that trip.
This is the most typical of typical Sicilian street scenes: narrow streets paved with worn-until-they-are-shiny stones, close-set buildings that block out a lot of sun (until they don’t), graffiti on the walls, laundry (often) hanging from balconies. And on and on.
(I guess the only thing in this photo that’s not typical is that the street doesn’t have pedestrians/cars/motorbikes sharing the space.)

I went to Slaton to get cookies at the 100-year-old Slaton Bakery. (You cannot find better thumbprint cookies anywhere on the planet.) And, while I was there I took a few photos.
Or I went to Slaton to take photos. And while I was there I treated myself to some cookies at the bakery.
Either way, it worked out nicely.

citrus
Maybe you knew that part of Route 66 went through Chinatown in Los Angeles. I did not know that until fairly recently.
But look! Here’s a truck of citrus!

ocean dreams
Really, is there anyone who can stand at the end of a pier and NOT stand on tiptoes to see just a little further?
