Tickseed abloom.

Many of the plants in our garden are in bloom now. Here, the spirea.


A beef brisket, shortly after I put it in the smoker.
Wishing all of my US readers a happy and safe 4th of July.


One thing I am doing today is admiring this Turkey Vultures’ graceful soaring.

A strip loin with potatoes, carrots, marinated mushrooms, and garlic scapes. Washed down with a pleasant Italian pinot grigio.
