That may look like an Escher painting.
But it’s J., our next-door neighbor of 15-plus years.
Her younger sister J2 features prominently in my photography.
J. would, too, except she trains at the New York School of American Ballet.
She’s mastering her craft on the East Coast.
And brands are taking notice.
They send her free stuff all the time.
Like Halo Top ice cream.
Isn’t ice cream on everyone’s mind?
Yep, so we put a Halo on it…

And flexed muscles in a fierce praying mantis pose…

And made googly eyes at the yumminess of it all…

And played serious with a look of mild surprise…

And cranked up the glamour wattage, high…

But mainly we played and had fun.
And even Paige jumped in on the action.

Afterwards, walking home, I saw the light in September.
I love it when that happens.
It gave our suburban street a cool industrial vibe.
One more picture, I asked.
Of course, she said.
Great, no product, just you…

…and the trees, and the wind, and the slanting light of late summer.
