This. This about sums it up right now. Unfortunately, there was nary a sign of Oscar the Grouch or my main man, er, worm, Slimy in, on, or around the famed metal trash can at 123 Sesame Street.

Sisters Together Beneath an Umbrella in Spring

on April 27, 2015 at 10:25 am ×

In many ways, there is nothing uniquely special about this photo of my two daughters looking at, and laughter into, each others gaze. This is a scene I could photograph countless times during each day in which the family calendar is an empty square of white, each day these two […]

The Training Wheels Are Off

on April 7, 2015 at 2:22 pm ×

During Spring Break 2015, this 7-year-old decided she wanted to learn how to ride a bike sans training wheels. I’d like to say I played some essential role with this brief lesson, but really, I was just keeping her steady by gently holding her sides and running as she pedaled, […]

I took about 30 photos last night for my new PBS Parents post, a little activity that takes all of the shoes left out in spring — the boots, sneakers, boat shoes and flip-flops — and makes something fun and educational out of ’em. I didn’t use this photograph, of […]

There was a photo I took in the fall of 2006, of the Bear in southern France. She was wearing a sky blue long sleeve shirt, solid blue with no pattern or design, the sun beamed down on her forehead, and the wind was blowing her hair just so, giving […]

Free Hugs Bear Hug

on March 25, 2015 at 8:31 am ×

Thinker Toys in Carmel-by-the-sea, a coastal Northern Californian town every bit as precious as its overly-hyphenated-name would lead you to believe, has a massive stuffed bear doling out free hugs to any and all who enter, to those of any age who find themselves in need of a bit of […]

The Ballad of a 7 Year Old Tinkerer

on March 21, 2015 at 6:30 am ×

Are the pieces of the highlighter yellow LEGO CD clock radio now in a box beneath the invention table that’s seen less action that a church confessional in a red light district? Yes. But that matters not because the 7 year old tinkerer spent that one week, some weeks ago, […]
