Still life.

I took lots of photos at dinner tonight. Liz and Tim just got back from South Africa with stories and pictures and wonderful gifts for all. But to me, this photo tells a lot, without having to show the photos of Liz (that she’d kill me for posting) or the ones of Tim with the funny faces (but I’ll keep those!) or the ones of the kids posing with their Zulu spears or the beautiful basket they brought me….

This photo shows the lovely wine we drank, the wire car they brought for Max, one of the way-cool Zulu spears, the cookies Davis and I made for dessert and the new placemats from other great friends — all with the backdrop of my favorite painting.

Yes, quite the story. Quite the night.
