It just came to my mind that perhaps I could share one self-portrait each month. No specific day scheduled. However, you will be able to see a collection of my self-portraits by clicking on the tag “Monthly Self Portrait” in the future.
Thanks for visiting my One Photo A Day.
That corner where the white chair sits is one of my companion’s favorite spots in the warmer months..
Lots of things are going on at homes on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. There’s no use to think about the uncontrollable, but they are on my mind nonetheless. One day at a time. I told myself. One day at a time..
We have several Apache Plume shrubs in front of the entrance. I had seen this plant when we were tourists in Santa Fe and have associated it with New Mexico ever since. It was almost a sign for me during the time when we were searching for our future home and I spotted these plants right next to the garage. It’s one of the many other reasons why we chose Santa Fe and this specific house. It felt like such a long time ago now and that was a conscious decision for forever..
It’s a beautiful day through and through. Long-anticipated optimism finally seems obtainable. The world also seems to make sense once again.
Almost all of the leaves are fallen now by our front door. It’s a constant reminder that the season is changing and we are heading towards colder weather.
Many people say that Fall is the most beautiful season in Santa Fe. I have to agree with that. We used to drive up to Aspen Vista where you can see expansive seas of golden foliage around this time of the year. It’s an experience hard to describe when you are there and taking in the view not just with your eyes but with your mind..
The pounding rain woke me up this morning. It was still dark outside and we could hear the wind howling. By the time we got up to prepare for breakfast, all was quiet and the sun even showed its face for a short time.
The weather has been unstable recently, but the forecast for tomorrow is sunny. Should I take it as a sign for tomorrow’s election?
There are hundreds of CDs stored in the cabinets in our living room, and more still in boxes in my studio. They were brought here from New York when we moved. Some of them travelled from Taiwan when I left my homeland for my companion.
This morning I started sorting through the CDs we’ve bought and collected in the past. I came across two Taiwanese albums and immediately placed them in the multi-disc CD player. Without realizing it I was quietly singing along with many of the songs. These songs are almost 30 years old now and I still remember the lyrics..
We had some drizzles overnight. Maybe more than just drizzles since the windows facing East were still covered with water droplets. The flowers of Apache Plume were moist when I stepped outside and breathed in the crisp morning air. A few minutes after, the sun made its appearance briefly. Soon these flowers will reclaim their glory..
It’s a Friday that doesn’t feel like a Friday. The Whole Foods in downtown Santa Fe was a lot less crowded than usual. The moody weather seems to threaten a change of atmosphere. Next Tuesday will be Election Day. The world will go on no matter the outcome, and that’s just the way it is..
