Third day on the fast, so far so good. The saltwater flush is no more fun today than the first day – yuck. I’m still not back in the mood for photography. I have actually been working intensively on menu planning and organizing my recipes. If I can’t eat food, I might as well think about it all the time. The image of the pig was created by Caroline in 3D Studio back in the early ’90s.
Dreamfish
Happy New Year. Today’s image is from a record / CD cover Caroline and I created 15 years ago for a record called Dreamfish. Pete Namlook and Mixmaster Morris collaborated on this recording that was originally released on FAX Records and briefly features Terence McKenna. And for any of my visitors who probably never figured out why my site’s title says, Dreams, Moments, Travel – the clue is Terence McKenna. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Katharina
Caroline’s sister Stephanie is the mom to this cute 7-year-old niece of ours, her name is Katharina. We send Katharina, Stephanie, Klaus, and Oma Jutta wishes for a happy holiday and a wonderful Silvester – German for New Years’.
Snow Dad
From last winter, dad and daughter on the sled in the snow. Caroline and I once tried sledding here in the sand but it didn’t work out very well. There are a couple of reasons I really liked this photo, first, Katharina’s cheeks are so rosy red making her oh so cute. The other reason, look behind them on the left, what is that kid doing laying face down with his sled over him?
Yum
Did you save us a piece? Here’s our far-away niece showing us the braided bread she made all by herself just for Caroline and me. Ok, she probably did not make it for us, maybe she didn’t make it all, and she certainly did not save us a taste. Love the socks, I wonder if mom made them.
On The Playground
This is our niece Katharina on the playground – obviously not in America. I say obviously because if you look, she is running on a spinning wheel, she could hurt herself and sue someone if this were in America. Look at the uneven logs in the background, holes where feet could get trapped, ropes to fall over. It’s a sorry state we have come to that liability insurance, lawsuits, and greed has in part taken some of the fun away from being a child. Fortunately, this little girl is growing up in Germany where she can still skin a knee, run around without a care, and have fun on the playground.
