Sunday photoblogging: It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood*

buenos aires has a higher proportion of what i would call truly, jaw-droppingly, gorgeous days than any other place i've lived... the sky is an intense blue, standing in the sun you feel like you're standing directly in front of a roaring fire, but standing in the shade can almost feel chilly, the flowers shine in brilliant colors, the breeze is fresh, and the signature smell of argentina, the asado (bar-be-que), particularly on sunday, permeates the air...

Both photos taken out my kitchen door, Sunday, 12:53 Argentine DST,
3 February. The first photo is a close-up of the topmost blossom at the
center-right of the second photo.

life is good...
