Michael took this picture using a new wide angle lens on his Nikon. It reminded me of the picture I took of the royal hunting cabin ceiling in the Albertina Museum in Saltzburg which we used as a model for our library.

New tent

We bought Michael this 4-season tent as an early Christmas present. A took this picture after he set it up in the meadow. He packed it for his trip back to Stockholm along with some camping gear from our large and ancient supply.

A did an interview on seasonal depression this morning at channel 7's downtown studio. She spent most of the time talking about the holiday blues, more common in this area than seasonal affective disorder. As usual, she did a great job.

Family Portrait

Family Portrait3, originally uploaded by THOS.

We won a family portrait at a Zach Scott Theater charity auction, and yesterday morning Barker Photography came out for this sitting. As you can see, they chose a spot on the west terrace overlooking the meadow and Bull Creek valley beyond. Six-week-old Evelyn was a perfect subject, wearing a dress we also won at the auction, and wrapped in a blanket knitted by her Grandma.
