It was a good day in Harvard Square after even Fox declared Biden/Harris winning the election.

Pugliese
Pugliese bread from the Nashoba Brook Bakery toasts very well especially with fresh tomato from the garden and cheese.
Fairhaven Bay
Fairhaven Bay is a bucolic area on the Sudbury River in Concord. This was taken during a run – a beautiful remote area near Walden Pond.
October Snow
Snow came early this year, just in time for Halloween and a full moon no less. This was taken at Fairhaven Bay in Concord, MA.
Empire State Building
While in New York visiting my son in Williamsburg Brooklyn, the fog cleared, and lo and behold the Empire State building across the river.
Smoothie
This smoothie is made with pea tendril micro greens, raspberries, almond milk, peanut butter, and protein powder. This is a favorite breakfast smoothie after going for a ride around the island up on Islesboro. Leave around 7:00 and back by 8:30, this smoothie hits the spot.
Spruce
This was taken in Jay Vermont on a cross-country ski trail at Jay Peak resort. It was cold like Jay often is – maybe around zero or below. This is part of a series I’ve been drawn to showing leaves or rather with this a broken-off Spruce pine branch embedded in snow.
With the leave photos and this one, I think the pine needles and branch look like a person in this case submerged in snow. There’s a certain emotion that comes from the gesture-like form – hard to describe but palpable.
Flowers on Black
Flowers from the garden, taken from above with a black tabletop from Ikea in my condo with sunlight coming in from the west.
Alex du Minaur
At the US Open Grandstand court, Alex du Minaur serves.
Pesto
Basil from the garden mixed in a Cuisinart along with garlic, Asiago, pine nuts, olive oil, and lemon. If you want the vegan version use nutritional yeast instead of Asiago and if you can’t swing the high price of pine nuts, walnuts taste good as well.
Typically Sweet Genovese Basil is grown around here. It produces a high yield and is relatively easy to germinate and grow. Another type is Citrus Basil which gives a more complex flavor and freshness to this aromatic. Mix the Pesto in a salad, spread on bread, or add to pasta – its a great addition to a lot of different kinds of foods.
