</tbody></table>Autumn on the East Coast is spectacular this year. I had really forgotten how beautiful it can be. After living out West for a dozen years where the leaves blew off the trees fairly quickly and ended up landing somewhere in Wyoming, I have been pleasantly reacquainted with the smell of leaves, distant wood fires and something apple-like in the air. The trees are glowing, and the sunlight is golden in the mornings and late afternoons. Just perfectly exhilirating. <br />

</tbody></table>Yesterday, we spent the day driving around in Ulster County and Orange County in New York's Hudson Valley visiting a few wineries. Our journey began at <a href="http://www.whitecliffwine.com/">Whitecliff Vineyard in Gardiner, NY</a>, where we tasted (and bought) some excellent reds as well as a good Seyval Blanc, which admittedly has taken me some time and perseverence to learn to like. Our next stop took us to <a href="http://www.robiberofamilyvineyards.com/">Robibero Family Vineyards of New Paltz.</a> Robibero is the newest winery in the Hudson Valley, yet they have many years of wne-making experience. Their wines are very California-style in their construction, and their tasting room is really pleasant.<br />

</div>Yesterday I wrote about three simple things to do to improve your photography. Today, I'm trying to put this into practice. When I got up this morning, the sun was just coming up across the Hudson River, and I hurried outside in my pj's to set up the tripod. It's so peaceful on the water early in the day, and I wanted to capture a moment of quiet before a more typical kind of Monday began.<br />

The last time I was in Italy, I saw an exhibition of work by 19th Century artist, Canaletto, and this image reminds me a bit of his spacious work.

</tbody></table>Climbing out of an artistic rut has been incredibly challenging. I attended a seminar today led by <a href="http://scottbourne.com/">photographer Scott Bourne</a>, and he gave some great advice for improving one's photography.<br />
<br />
First, take a photograph every day. Knowing where every dial and button on the camera is located and knowing what every setting can do is the backbone of successful photography.<br />
<br />
Second, read a different page of your camera's manual every day. After reading it, do that thing with the camera (see the first item).<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Third, look at 100 photographs every day. All great writers are also great readers; this is how photographers should emulate that practice.

<div>Obviously, it's been ages since I posted anything on this blog, since the last entry concerns snow. It's been a very warm spring, and I've enjoyed every second of it, even as the humidity creeps up. I'm armed with hair products to prevent too much frizz, and I go into mirror denial anyway in the summer.</div><br />
I'm excited to announce my tomato plants -- all two of them -- growing on my balcony seem to be making tiny, tiny flowers. With luck and lots of water and some attention from the bees, I might have some tomatoes of my own to harvest later this season! San Marzano, organic, and growing side by side with a cute little basil plant. If I could plant some bufalo mozzarella, I'd be in heaven! Here are some pics of my little weensy tomato flowers, shot with my 60 mm macro lens just after I watered the plants today.<br />
<br />
If you have any, I could use some how-to-grow-great-tomato tips.<br />

We took blankets, wine, cupcakes, cheeses, olives, bread and sat with about 2,200 others in Park City's Deer Valley Resort Ampitheater.

Blend in a high-speed blender (<a href="https://secure.vitamix.com/acb/stores/4/index.aspx">like a Vita-Mix</a>) in batches until it's blended smoothly. Quarter the lemons and squeeze the juice into a large pitcher. Throw the lemon rinds into the pitcher, add the mint leaves and the sugar and muddle them until the sugar dissolves into the lemon juice and the mint leaves are bruised. Stir in the blended watermelon. Serve over crushed ice.<br /><br /><br />Optional: Add 1.5 ounces of premium vodka to the glass with your crushed ice before pouring in the lemonade. Stir well.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vFgjXhGUAIHxCPkPCHuKnVtgsqHGl4f7n66AXJp2hHG4KD0DGLmC88kBcZZdnSvcO6m3EcvU1mlxidgQ788dCuVdUdVEtaUVVCBTWDohDWoBa_mtzHNgabeKU8DDsNrBPXnIYFxVOYU6/s1600-h/IMG_9852.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360747088243261698" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vFgjXhGUAIHxCPkPCHuKnVtgsqHGl4f7n66AXJp2hHG4KD0DGLmC88kBcZZdnSvcO6m3EcvU1mlxidgQ788dCuVdUdVEtaUVVCBTWDohDWoBa_mtzHNgabeKU8DDsNrBPXnIYFxVOYU6/s400/IMG_9852.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />see all my Tweak Cooking posts for more recipes<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTXs6OnZKpJos6SKa3fAbKs9akuVkbEP2PuVzNX-60BZBj615lE1W9X-CQBlQDPO_L_3ctS8xurXj_umaJ25Cwwf-MWQn2ZR0hdxoBZ6hGaumbN-KzJYnl2spA-YpunRfKkLT83UUlCU4N/s1600-h/IMG_9857.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360747103805653074" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTXs6OnZKpJos6SKa3fAbKs9akuVkbEP2PuVzNX-60BZBj615lE1W9X-CQBlQDPO_L_3ctS8xurXj_umaJ25Cwwf-MWQn2ZR0hdxoBZ6hGaumbN-KzJYnl2spA-YpunRfKkLT83UUlCU4N/s400/IMG_9857.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />enjoy!<br /></div>Ann Wilkinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613573538883203709noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8309692223232705453.post-77183621626058383132009-07-06T08:10:00.006-06:002009-07-06T08:30:46.389-06:00Favorite Things: Old Wood, Inspired by an Etsy TreasuryI love old wood.
