This is the first time since I’ve lived here that the apple tree has plenty of fruits. The best part is that I can eat these without getting an allergic reaction, which makes me suspect that my allergic reaction is caused more by the pesticides than the apple itself. If I buy (imported) apples, I…

Stopped by the lake on the way to work. This is one of the many things I like about autumn, when the wisps of smoke rise from the water. The fog was moving quickly, and these lines of fog were nearly not as nice when I pointed my camera at them, than they were a…
