The most successful sourdough loaf, in the last year, came from following the San Francisco Sourdough Bread recipe in America’s Bread Book; by Mary Gubser; though I did cut quantities in half.

Back to Alterra on the Lake for another “photo meeting.”
Saturday morning: I met with Dotty, who’d requested some consultation on the “correct use of flash” for event and location photography.

One of the many demonstration photographs, we made that morning, to support the notions of:
“1) getting the flash off the camera to properly sculpt the subject” and
“2) finding the proper balance with the existing light to preserve a natural look.”
Alterra Coffee on the Lake preserves many aspects of the old Flushing Station — including the old exposed electrical wiring. More of these museum aspects can be seen in this previous post.
Good coffee and good people watching.
Back home — I enjoyed the rhythm of my porch.

Arrange meant
what does this mean?
I meant to arrange…
I meant to show…
I meant to marvel…
I meant to say…
wood… water… life… wabi… wet… wonder… weather… winsome… wow…

The storm that headed east and dumped 3ft on the East Coast
The front that dumped 3 feet of snow on the East Coast
also left 4 to 6 inches of wet, sticky white covering most everything
in our neck of the woods.
Home sweet home.
