summertime

aaahhhh yes...summertime in the back yard of 918: restful sunday mornings, crossword puzzles, iced drinks, breeze in the birch tree,
exchange of comments, especially the articles of irony and humor.



dad was a hambone in front of my camera on this glorious sunday morning in the backyard, sort of a combination of ease meets shyness.



you can see how blissed-out he could be in this last photo.
he was enjoying this moment.

he was such a loved man...
