Eleanor hones her craft as a photographer. In this latest installment, she employs abstract forms to evoke a sense longing and ennui that can only be captured by pressing all the camera buttons at random.

We've spent a lot of our summer at the Red Hook Pool, home of South American vendors and corn-on-a-stick!

Summer Vacation on the New Hampshire seacoast with Grandpa and Nana Kathy!





Good sand for drawing.





"Wake up, little crab!"



Have wagon, will travel.



Wagons are good for buckets, shovels, sunscreen, and cousins.



Strawberry picking.



Or for one particular person, strawberry eating.



Hizekiel teaches Eleanor the ways of the Sith and the Dark Side of the Force.




Fun with Dad on the beach.









Kathy and Laura.



All together now! Dunk...



...and pour.



Look out. Bunny, Lovey, and Changing Pad coming through.



Dave broke 100. On nine holes.





Also this summer, Eleanor graduated from Roots and Wings. "Pomp and Circumstance" was replaced with a Muzak-version of "We Are The Champions." Mortarboards were replaced with visors.



"I'd like to share this with all my family and friends..."



"...and Floppy Lucy Baby."



"Now I'd like to eat this cupcake."



Eleanor attended her first rock concert, when The Sippy Cups came to the bandshell in Prospect Park.



In her Phish t-shirt and hippie skirt, she was ready to noodle.





"Freebird!"





Eleanor just learned how to press the shutter on the camera, and in a ten minute frenzy, took 107 pictures. Here are the top three.
