Oh foreign computer. The summer days called me forth and you were sidestepped - appropriately. I feel compelled to attend to you now that school has started and Raphael is immersed, bobbing insecurely, in work work work. Here are a few of my favorite moments captured not so eloquently on digital film.

A hive! Perfectly crafted and a stunning image.

Blackberries! All along these wide country roads are blackberry bushes. We head out, buckets in hand (or wrapped around the neck as Raphael prefers) and forage. Sun ripened sweetness! I eat most of them before they even hit the bottom of my bucket. Delicious!

If you follow the berries for a not so very long time you end up at the beach! Raphael took these as Mina and I skipped on the warm sand and then, eventually, making our way back to him, enjoyed a well deserved afternoon nap, lullaby-ed by the ins and outs of the tide.
