And pictures from J.

(Posted inadvertently for a few hours yesterday -- the post below now contains the missing link to J.'s website.)

With J., reflected in a window at a handicrafts market in Mexico City.

And finally we come to Jonathan, my love and life partner, about
whose contribution to my life I can't really speak without getting
emotional. I'm amused and delighted that just as I reach the ten-year
point in my own blogging journey (which he has both patiently tolerated
and helped over all these years, as I said in the comments, far too
often waiting while I wrote "just a few more words," or even being the
unwitting subject) he has started a blog of his own, with the very
sensible commitment of posting once a week. He's written a little introduction there and put together a short
slideshow of photos related to blogging and me.

Thank you, dearest one, for being you and sharing this crazy
world with me, for cheering me up when I get down, for enlarging my life
in so many ways, for making me braver and more adventurous, for always supporting me in my work and creativity,
for being unafraid to truly know me and allow me to know you, and for being there, not virtually, but in the flesh, every single day.
