the photo journal + misc. news of Emma Kisiel
In October of last year we bought a camper – a 1976 Apache Royal solid state travelers’ trailer. It’s called Clementine and it’s great! We’ve taken it camping six times. This was our very first time, at Detroit Lake, in November of last year. It rained a lot. We learned a lot about camper life. We marveled at the masses of stumps and creeping trees. I took basically the same five pictures a hundred times.
The Zoo on Halloween, Last Year
On Halloween of last year, while Jeff was visiting, we went to the zoo. It was a great day and I took so many pictures I liked. Hundreds. I felt daunted by the time and energy it would take to go through them all and process them. My computer is 11 years old and it’s really slow. Life filled back up with other activities and I’m so behind on photos. But I made it a goal to finish these by this Halloween, and here I am. Spending time with photos feels a bit exciting and doable again. Maybe I’ll post more soon.
I followed Jude (and his parents) on a walk to his fave neighborhood park one day in October. Here is proof that he is the most adorable baby in the entire world. (See also our Halloween decorations in the front yard.) We also did some family portraits. It’s lovely to have such a beautiful place for a backyard.
