On warm(ish), lazy weekend afternoons we like to sit out on the patio and have Micheladas (aka cerveza preparada). There are all kinds of different recipes for the drink, but we prefer vegetable (like an organic V8) to straight tomato juice. And no Worcestershire sauce for me. Miller High Life is our beer of choice because the Michelada tastes best when made with a light lager–snappy ales and dark beers are better straight up.

Two things: I’ve been using Photoshop for a very long time, and, at the end of a 12 hour day, I don’t always have the juice get out there and grab a daily snap. As a compromise, I sometimes pull up an older photo I like and tweak it ruthlessly. This is one of those occasions.

I’ve said it several times before, but stopping for a few minutes during the hectic commute and hoping to get a good photo is a crap shoot. Today, I rolled the dice and came up with an image I really have no explanation for why I like it. But like it I do. No doubt, the splash of “burgundy” (or however that color reads on your monitor) is what initially caught my eye–there was nothing else that color in the whole panorama. Hmm? I guess I said why.
Lens: canon EF-S 15-85mm at 70mm. 1/80 second at f/16, ISO 200, WB “cloudy.”

Two personal things: I do my own laundry and we don’t have a dryer. When the dryer finally wore out several years back we decided to make do without. We got some solar dryers (aka, a clothes line and a wood rack) and never looked back. When it’s raining, we rack dry in the house. The rest of the time it’s solar all the way. And, what can I say, I like doing my own laundry. Here’s a shot of the last load of the day just before I brought it in.

Blooming wisteria means Spring. It’s one of the plants that, despite the warming trend, continues to be on schedule. Last week I posted a photo of a wisteria spike on our vine before it burst. Here’s a frame of what it looks like now–freshly opened.
