She doesn’t like when I do it. Take videos of her. She doesn’t like being my “human interest” piece in these travel videos.

But, I have to say, I love when my sister, Emily, is in these videos.

She’s so lovely. Gorgeous really, and she gives the camera this smile when I point it at her that is equal parts incredulity, humor, resolve, and grace.

One of these days I’ll go back and give it a better video. But for now, there’s this.

Love and foggy afternoons to you,  –a.e.
