summer waned.

Summer seems like so long ago as we come quickly upon the darkest days of the year, but I know it won't be long before we see her again.  I never posted these photos from a week out at the beach on Long Island this past summer. For me, they are a light on this dark nor'easter morning. x

goodbye summer. it has been sweet.

notes from the road/ australia

Globetrotting Italian  photographer Paola Ambrosi di Magistris writes in from her travels down under.

Today I went "roo" watching, walking on the beach and ended the outdoorsy day eating a "burger with the works"! After years of vegetarianism I had to try the Aussie Burger with pineapple and a fried egg! after a walk in Yanchep national park we stopped at alfred's kitchen in Guildford and tasted the savory beast!

kangaroooo...yeuw!

As the last vestiges of Winter dusted the city this morning, We headed out to a sunnier place...Tulum!

I was really happy to discover that the Jet Blue terminal at JFK has both a Muji outpost and Balthazaar Croissants! I think I am really into Jet Blue!

So it was, with the usual flurry of early morning confusion, airport security and seat appropriation...We were finally off.

The smallest of us in years is Odette, and she is turning out to be a great traveler. I brought a little owl cupie doll that she is obsessed with. A new toy never before seen is an essential item when traveling, for just those moments when there might be a small meltdown.

After what seemed like the shortest flight possible, Odette's tiny voice said "we are landing..." and next thing we knew she and owl were skipping happily towards the ocean.
