Me and my barong

My niece got married yesterday. She looked gorgeous in her traditional Filipino dress, called a “Terno”. I couldn’t attend the wedding, but coincidentally I’d come across the male version of a traditional Filipino dress a few days ago while looking through a closet. It’s called a “Barong” and here I am wearing it. The last time I wore it was in 1999 when my daughter got married. It was quite tight then, but now no longer – I’ve lost a lot of weight.

Colorful Fish

I came across this is a Chinese restaurant in Cortlandt Manor. I was struck by the colors. They were so vibrant it almost seemed unreal, as if I’d oversaturated them in Lightroom (I didn’t). Maybe it was the contrast between the orange fish and the bright blue background that did it.

It’s not much of a picture, but it’s my blog and I can post whatever I like.

Is it fungi season again?

I came across this interesting fungus directly opposite one of my favorite eateries: The Patio in Briarcliff Manor. I went with a friend, and we parked in a vacant spot just across from the restaurant. As I got out of the car, I noticed the fungus and thought that it looked interesting – so symetrical.
