There's so much going this week, I didn't even select my favorites. Which is not an easy task - unfortunately because I did not take many "great" pictures. It's more about story telling I guess. Except for the sunsets and rises, maybe.
We're currently working on a new line of bread. Smaller loaves, pure sourdough, with special ingredients. This one is a 40% whole wheat with olive oil. "Mediterranean Bread" I called it. High temperature baking, giving for a great crust and flavor - unfortunately, the experiments went quite wrong. Mistakes on all fronts. This week will be better, I know that. I'm sure of it. This loaf did not contain enough salt. But it looked incredibly beautiful, so I used it for photo sessions. Going to manipulate the colors a little, though.
I need to walk a lot these days. It helps me to clear my mind and make sense of everything. And I see flowers. Everywhere, flowers. It's raining season slowly going into summer, and the flowers know it. They're getting ready to rise and shine all over the place.
Some of my walks lead me to the courthouse, and then to the letters. I talked about them a few times in my alternate account, 
Sunrise on Friday. Hope. I had to get up early to get to Quito that day. To get my new passport. To deliver court orders. To do so many things. It felt good to see the sun come up like that. I took it as a good sign.
The sunsets didn't disappoint, either. I didn't take many pictures of them, as I was usually busy around sunset. Or too tired.
Then the birds. Here's one kind-of-hidden. If you focus, you'll find it easily though.
Then our little dove in its nest on our ladder. In this one, mom is still on top of it all. But within one week, well, let's say that birds seem to grow quicker than humans. By a lot.
Here's the little bugger peaking out for the first time. Already too big to be cuddled too much by mommy.
And that was Sunday. Today, he was flying around already. They really do grow quickly.
Me, I'll enjoy the next 10 years. As much as I can. Before Lily goes her own way, too. And then I'll enjoy the years in a different way. It's something else to see them grow.
