The red magnolias are the rarest and last to bloom but stay longer than the others. I love this  Kodachrome II shot dating from the mid seventies taken, naturally, at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.               

 An unusual but delicious combination.caserecce with tuna and beans. Just sublime.

 The South Street Seaport in Manhattan, mid eighties. Shot with my Rolleiflex loaded with Ektachrome 64 Pro 120 film. I loved the square format. 

               Linguine italiane Garofalo with shredded zucchine and shrimps, out of this world.

 A car tires dump in West Virginia. Frightening.

Borlotti beans with dandelions, Very nutritious and healthy. I soaked the beans overnight in cold water with a little baking soda. I only used a clove of garlic and some chopped scallions. Simple and delicious. In Italy these beans are the most popular and widely used especially for pasta e fagioli.    

                   A well pampered dog at Corvallis, Oregon. What else can I add but lucky dog.
