I love how these look like tiny suns, and their petals are so soft and fluttery.

Centro Ippico Lombardo: Gara Sociale 1999
My daughter began riding at age eight at the Centro Ippico Lombardo, a stable and riding school near Milan’s San Siro stadium. This was around the same time I was starting to learn to shoot and edit my own video, so I was able to document some of her earliest events. Some of this old video – in this case an informal “social” competition in 1999 – recently came to light, on some old CD-R discs – which are holding up just fine!
For those who wish to practice conversational Italian, the last clip in this playlist is the dinner we all took part in after the event.
Woodstock School in 1979
In my digital vaults, found a digitized version of a promotional film shot at Woodstock School in 1979 by John Riber (an alumnus of Woodstock’s sister school in south India, Kodaikanal), narrated by Peter Lugg and students. Many students and staff of my generation are shown!
Sunday Flower Walk
I had never seen variegated roses before. And some of these plants are completely mysterious to me – never seen them anywhere in the world. Who needs a botanical garden? I can just visit my neighbors’ front yards!
I never wanted to plant azaleas in my own yard, because they only look good for about one week out of the year. But for that week – they’re spectacular!
