Photos

I am a terrible photographer. But my friends are not. I'll share various images here of me, my friends and family, and of other things I find inspiring, funny or meaningful in some way.

This pic was taken in Wisconsin where Beth and I often go to read and write and drink martinis and eat and gab endlessly.  It's farm country and beautiful.  One evening we took a walk, just before dusk.  The blackbirds were flying in to roost, the frogs were singing, the cows had come home.  It was glorious. -Phyllis Florin

I looked up in the sky while walking past Grand Central Station on my recent trip to NYC and saw Mercury, Minerva and Hercules are perplexed, sad…
MEMORIAL DAY – too many dead for foolish reasons.
It’s heartbreaking. I want to curl up under their wings and books and weep.

I love making cards for my friends using Photoshop and the internet. I knew how engrossed in the Forties Beth was when she was working on her latest book and I wanted to make her a Forties woman so for her birthday, I searched the Internet and found this fabulous Hedy Lamarr photo taken in 1946 and put her face on it. It¹s perfect. She used to have hair similar to that when she was a pup. Sigh.

My beeeeeautiful grandson, Matthew, on his first birthday!

We really need a cooking show.

This is beautiful Positano.

And this is my favorite souvenir-that-I-didn't-actually-bring-home. I had this photo taken to make Bill jealous, but all it did is make my girlfriends jealous.  

  Even the road signs are beautiful!

This is Mama Rosa making ricotta.

Espresso, anyone?

My daughter Julie's favorite picture from my trip. The lemons there can be as big as grapefruits.
