When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ~Ansel Adams Oh, Taiwan. Taiwan often leaves me speechless. So today I will allow photography to take the place of my words. These photos are the first set from my trip there earlier this year in August. There was purple […]

It’s true. Asparagus reacts chemically (I won’t get into it unless you really want me to), and ultimately reacts to create that funky odor that occurs when . . . when nature calls. Yay.
