“First Photograph of Lightning” W. N. Jennings. I’ve gotten a number of emails asking for more frequent posting around here. So, I figured I’d just start posting what I’m looking at these days. The first of many to come! PS: There is a lot more content on my FFFFOUND profile, for those who are as voracious as I am.

Fantastic! Don’t you want to know the story? Whose alligator? That great tile? What happens next?
Studio portrait for an alligator, circa 1870. Courtesy of NYPL Digital Collections — found while I look for images of 1870s dining rooms.
I also like this one.
The little girl looks so happy (click to zoom!).

I’m still uncluttering. This week I’ve been organizing eight years of computer clutter. Bonus: I found this shot of berries and it made me happy.

This is what I saw out my window this morning as I was nursing Alex and feeling frustrated by my day, which was full of deadlines (and wouldn’t you know our babysitter called in sick). It’s a shopping bag in someone’s window with a sweet graphic that says LOVE. A nice reminder that love can be found in the most surprising places, even on a gray cold hectic NYC day.

I hope to be as elegant and poised as this woman (and live in an apartment with that kind of light)! PS: Notice the striped rug….. stripes on the brain today. Found on photograher’s Huge Stewart’s site.

Loving this image found via D. Sharp! Hope everyone had lovely spring weekends. We walked on Riverside Park, ate lots of pesto and chilaxed.

I love peonies (and believe they helped me find my husband) and am smitten with these from photographer Kari Herer.
First seen at Cup of Jo and then reminded again over at City Sage

This photograph made me laugh and laugh this morning. Maybe because I’m having a baby and he feels like the boss of me. Maybe because I’ve said this to my husband in fits of pique. Maybe because it’s just awesome.

It is warm and WINDY today in NYC. I’m longing for summer skies and sundresses and cute flats.

Starting the morning off right with this landscape photograph from Roger Fenton (English, 1819–1869) which is at the Met.
