ABC Wednesday—L is for "light"

I've featured this church before, but these
chandeliers just blew me away
and I thought they deserved a close-up.

ABC Wednesday—L is for "Lucy"

I'm thinking of my darling grandmother today,
on what would have been her 130th birthday (this
photo was taken circa 1900). Miss Lucy did
make it to 94 and even at that age could rattle off 
the stats of every player on her favorite
baseball team.  She was a steel magnolia, a Southern
cook of the first order—and my, the woman could work a hat!

ABC Wednesday—L is for "lizard"

I saw this little guy when I was visiting
friends in Florida—he was sunning himself outside 
the "cage" that covers their patio and pool
(I was doing the same inside).

ABC Wednesday—L is for "lock"

This one is on the back door of the Saint-Paul–Saint-Louis
church in Paris.  I wonder if it's the original; if so,
then it's somewhere between 373 and 387 years old.  And
that makes me wonder if they still have the key.

ABC Wednesday—L is for "lavender"

A vendor at my local greenmarket
had these oh-so fragrant sachets (I smelled
his stand before I saw it!) and also fresh
lavender, in pots and bouquets.  It was
a real feast for the senses!

ABC Wednesday—L is for "lychee"

I can get these powerful little fruits in
NYC's Chinatown.  They're high in
antioxidants and kind of fun 
to eat (at least I think so).  
And you can use them to make this.

Lila X 17

This photo of my daughter Lila was taken by her 
loving younger sister, Katie—whose birthday is 
today.  Here's the turn-around shot of the beautiful 
b-day girl, featured lately on my other blog.
