Around the time that we moved in here in Massachusetts we finally decided that we couldn't wait any longer for iPhones. We had been really well behaved and stuck it out with Verizon for as long as we could. Gabriel even gave the Droid Incredible a try but ultimately we found that nothing really does compare to the iPhone experience. AT&T did not make the transition smooth. There was a couple of weeks of our order being lost/canceled due to suspected identity theft???? That threatened to put us back at the end of the two-3 week waiting line that we had already been suffering through to get phones. We spent HOURS on the phone on several different occasions and even went over on our cellphone minutes for the month just trying to get this all sorted out. It got so painful that we even contemplated stopping the whole thing because of course in the middle of the experience Verizon announced that probably in January of next year they would finally probably be carrying the iPhone. Anyway, this blog is not not meant to be a venting space for such boring things.
The Point: The point is that we have been enjoying our iPhones and one of the ways that we have been doing this is by loving it as a camera. We take way more photos but more importantly we DO more with the photos. Instead of spending weeks just sitting on the camera or computer without being shared with anyone or printed etc...we take loads of photos with our iPhones and pretty much immediately email them, text them, or upload them to Facebook. It has been pretty exciting. Even videos too. Plus, our phones are pretty much always with us and the camera sometimes is not. So, to take it even one step further Gabriel has fallen in love with many of the camera related Apps which simulate old fashioned cameras, films, and filters. Taking photos with his iPhone has become its own hobby I kid you not. Here are some photos from the last couple of months ALL taken with our phones. A smidge of our summer, blueberry picking, vegetables from our garden, river dipping, etc....

Daffodils from Gabriel
Recently I came home to the house filled with daffodils that Gabe had picked for me. Well, he did pick them from the park of the townhouse complex around the corner, but to be fair we never see anyone using this really wonderful little space here in the city.There were dafodils by my bed:

There were daffodils on the coffee table (note Rumi in the background):

And there were daffodils in my office (note the photo of Gabe from our month long date in Italy when we got back together 5 years ago) (also note the newest baby booties):

Juicy Oranges


The school I teach at had a multicultural potluck this weekend and I brought my favorite East Indian Fruit Salad from the Moosewood Daily Special cookbook. I had to cut a whole bunch of oranges so I took them outside to cut in the beautiful weather that we have been having and it led to a great fruit salad but also an orange photo shoot.


I also had to include some photos that Gabe took of Rumi while camping last week. Note the crazy bat ears.
