Native Habitat Portraiture. Michelle

Is that Kimchi? (Okay now I'm sterotyping ... lol). Looks a bit blue on my laptop monitor. I'm in the patio, great day today. Mary Lou and I are having a BBQ, you and Michelle are invited. Kabobs, marinated Tri-Tip, Chicken, Shrimp, Pineapple, Peppers, Onions, Shrooms all skewered and grilled. I hope you like California wine and Mexican beer, (margaritas upon request).

Very nice image BTW. Your cookery looks similar to mine.

Nice shot of a very pretty lady. I like the colour and overall look a lot.

All the best,

Anya Aysayo, but leaving for a quick bike ride at the beach while the meats marinade. Man that stuff sounds good. I am well aware of the Korean custom of serving more food than one can possible manage (I lived in Korea for five months). BTW- we also have the same waffle maker. I think we both like Costco way too much.

But then again, tri-tip marinaded in a 90+ rated Cabernet Sauvignon with Italian Basil and Rosemary from the garden is hard to pass-up. Not that you don't have a very nice house (and you do!), but our green backyard with Hummingbirds humming and Butterflies buttering ... is also a nice dinner environment.

I'll take a rain check.

I don't understand this exaggeration of New England weather. You are both welcome to use my picnic table. There is even a chiminella to take the chill out of the air. Naturally, you will need to take the tree clipping off the table.

 

It ain't just a yard, we got miles of the stuff. But that is what makes Maine summers so nice.

 

Pusan and Seoul (Myung-Dong).

PS- I am a wuss ... don't like cold ... I like my ice in a glass or a cone.

 

Hey! We got lots of seasons. The first three months are winter, then mud season, then black fly season, then tick season, then mosquito season, then leaf season, and the last three months are winter. Once thing is sure, we don't wear out our picnic tables from use very quickly.

 

LOL. A New Yorker once asked me what no-see-ums looked like. I told him I only know what they feel like.

But nice portrait. Which reminds me that we have something else in common, in a way. My wife just served dinner--sushi, miso soup, tofu, and green tea. But we do eat local foods. We still have frozen blackberries from our summer harvest in the freezer--although, right at this moment, I am not sure why I bought a freezer. And this is my first year to make hard cider. I started in October and I am still waiting for the first fermentation to end. Perhaps it will be ready for this summer's blackberry harvest.

For all my complaints, I can't think of a better place to live. And the snowshoeing in Florida is horrible.

 

I am in the western part of central Maine--in a small town between Lewiston and Augusta.

 

Back, just slapped the kebobs on the BBQ. Hey, we have glaciers in California ... that should count for something.

PS- Is 5:46pm ... sitting in the patio watching the setting sun paint the clouds ... a bit of Jazz on the speakers, the sound of running water from the fountains, a splash of California cabernet sauvignon (90+) ... talking photography with friends ... ahhhhh ... the good life. (about 65F) Gonna take a long ride tomorrow.

PPS- While it may hit near 80F today, tonight will be in the mid 40sF.

I hope you are joking. I have two heirloom apple trees on order and I don't think they are going to wait until July to send them. Oddly enough, it has been a warm winter--usually in January it gets too cold to snow.
