Bread
This week I added grated extra sharp cheddar to the dough. The kitchen smelled really good when the bread came out of the oven. :-)
Water Drops
Cotton Candy Berry
Fruit from a Jamaica Cherry tree. The color is delicate, a pink rather than red. The iPhone (top) did a good job. I didn’t hold the Canon (bottom) steady enough for the 1/80 of a second exposure.
Jamaica Cherry is called Pão de Seda in Portugal and Pau de Seda in Brazil. Silk Bread vs Silk Stick. Both are rather inventive names for this fruit. It also begs the question: is a bread stick called Pão Pau?? There is long list of vernacular names at the wikipedia link. I haven’t tried the fruit yet but hear that the English names Cotton Candy Berry and Strawberry Tree are somewhat indicative of the flavor.
PS: Google translates Pão Pau as “Dick Bread” but Pau Pão as “Stick Bread”. Use wisely.
Loaf
Today’s bread has grated cheddar mixed into the dough. The house smells amazing.
Queen of the Night
I was visiting friends when I noticed this cactus in their neighborhood, wrapped around a tree. It blooms only at night and each blossom only blooms once. Spectacular.
Rain
Drops like rhythms on a leaf. Like sheet music for dense chords. Lines and pearls. This would be an interesting painting at 2.4 x 3.6 meters.
I might have a title for the Rain album. I also discovered that I already have nine songs that are in different stages of finish. All of them have rhythm guitars and some are completely done. When one starts to walk one doesn’t notice the distance until one turns around and looks back.
