Twinkle Twinkle

Another photo from Easter. This is cousin Mackenzie playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano. I remember goofing around on the piano when I was her age, playing simple songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb and Twinkle Twinkle. I started taking lessons when I was around 9, but prior to that, it was just fun futzing around trying to make out songs by ear on the piano. Of course, when I actually started taking lessons, somehow it wasn't so fun any more.

Same Location But So Different

When Cadence and I were walking to meet her Dad and uncles at this Chinese restaurant, I saw this lonely cyclist leaning against the wall, and I immediately pulled out my camera.  I just love how he's staring out into space.  What is he doing there?  Is he waiting for someone?  Is he happy?  Is he sad?  Is he lonely?  Is he in anticipation?  These are some of the questions that run through my head when I "see" photos.

And this is a photo I took later in the evening.  It feels so different from the photo above, maybe because it's a group of happy, well-fed people.  Charles, the one on the left, is Ted's brother visitng from Seattle.  There's been a lot of homebrew drinking going on this weekend, as you can imagine!
