I’ve been needing a change of scenery, so a couple weeks ago I moved my writing desk upstairs.
I like it up here. It’s warmer than it is downstairs. Plus, Tabs likes to chill on the windowsill (he spends hours watching birds while I type away at the keyboard).

One thing I’ve learned through photography is how beautiful everyday things can be.
This is a fruit called calamansi (kah-lah-mon-see) picked from my dad’s garden at home. It’s a sour citrus native to the Philippines and commonly used to flavor food and drinks.
I think it tastes like a cross between a lime and an orange. When they’re ripe, like they are here, don’t they look like tiny tangerines? So cute!
