Week #2 -- Joy Saha

Mud and left over rain water pools at the bottom of my duplex apartment after a heavy spring storm. The excessive rain water and mud also seeped into my downstairs neighbor's kitchen, forcing them to change and replace their entire kitchen floor. Minutes after this photo was taken, the brief bit of sunlight disappeared and the second wave of the spring storm started.



This small parking area is a popular playing spot for all the neighborhood kids. Ever since Maryland stay-at-home orders became stricter and the transition to online classes was announced, this parking spot has been eerily quiet and vacant.


My mother, Luna Saha, and I woke up at 6:30 a.m. on a sunny Saturday morning to bake a fresh batch of bagels for our routine family breakfast. This is the first time we baked our own bagels and even though they tasted delicious, we realized that our bagels were a bit too large and many were missing their signature bagel holes.


My mother and I were craving fresh coconut and coconut water so we picked up this little coconut from our local Trader Joe's in Rockville, Maryland. This coconut was not as fresh as we anticipated because of the thin crack found around the circumference of the fruit.

With more time on his hands, Nathan has tried to relearn some of his soccer skills.

Rocco tends to lay on his front legs to shield his eyes from the bright lights because he has cataracts, but it also is an evolutionary trait for dogs who are taking a nap but need to get up and move fast in case of danger arises. Rocco sleeps upside on his specialty puppy blanket because of his high body temperature. Dogs cannot sweat so they often pant and if they are hot when they sleep, they air out their bellies and paws. Rocco is getting sick of his owner's sticking camera's in his face all of the time. He recently got a haircut and those take a lot of energy out of him, so his patience is running thin. Unlike other dogs, Rocco enjoys car rides and he often uses the time on the road to nap or sticks his face into the oncoming air from the AC or from outside of the window. Rocco knows not to run away from his Mahwah home after years of training and dedication to his family.  All he needs is the air and sun shining on his back and belly and he feels free a...
