I made my 6 month check-up/visit,
on Omotesando-Dori.
At 10am it was already 90F/32c.
There is a long wait, but I had a few errands to do;
first, the Apple Store, to get my ear pods replaced, yay!
Although hot, there was a good breeze.
I noticed silver-y thunderclouds perched in the near distance,
at a store I bought a popsicle.
They made a great backdrop for the bldg's abstract awning...
After finishing my appt., ready to trek back to the station,
to my happy surprise there was a make-shift farmer's market, set up.
If I weren't so knackered by the long day and heat,
I would have photographed the farmer and his wares; all of summer's bounty,
as I remember it used to be; abundant, colorful, and reasonably priced.
I admired this unassuming farmer, an old guy with smiling eyes,
he seemed unhindered by the heat.
I took home a good sized container of raspberries and blackberries...

I painted this many Summer's ago,
while visiting my childhood home in upstate NY.
These lilies were everywhere, this time of the year.
Their fire-y orange color against the summer cerulean blue sky
is a fond memory of July in NY...
It's a strange summer;
Cicada-less heat, masks and
Assassination...
