The Weekend in Black and White

This enormous rubber tree—20m (65 feet)
high and  50m (164 feet) wide;
impossible to photograph the whole thing and
many branches are supported—was planted near
what is now the Recoleta Cemetery, in
Buenos Aires, in 1800.

See you in November

I've borrowed this photo of Recoleta Cemetery
from my daughter Lila.  She took it
a few years ago when she was in Buenos Aires,
where I've been this past week.
Now I'm in Montevideo, and tonight I'm going
to board a ship and head south, where
there will be only the sketchiest Internet connection—
or, more likely, none whatsoever.
I'll be home and blogging again on Nov. 28.  
Please come back then; I'm hoping to
have a whole lot of pictures to share with you.

ABC Wednesday—W is for "web"

Credit goes to my daughter Lila, who found this 
crazy web at the Recoleta Cemetery, in
Buenos Aires. What do you think—spider on crack?

Que en paz descanse

I may have to give you a break from my
photos and let you enjoy a few of the
hundreds that have been parked on my
computer by my peripatetic daughters,
who have recently returned from a fabulous
trip to Antarctica by way of Buenos Aires.
These excellent shadows were shot by
Lila in BA's Recoleta Cemetery.
