Boston
It was a pleasant drive to Boston, broken up by a stayover in Albany on the way. Once I got settled in Boston, I figured out the “T” subway system and set out to do some sightseeing, only to learn … Continue reading
New England
I’m home after a short vacation trip to New England. I’ll be posting photos here over the next few days. This one is my favorite. I’m a sucker for autumn color, rocks, and rippling water. I was driving through Vermont … Continue reading
Summer pearls

It’s nickname was an advertising slogan to entice visitors in the 1930s, but New Orleans is a “city that care forgot” in more ways than one. I’m home for a few days to visit with family, and had a couple … Continue reading
They shouldn’t surprise me,
…these late winter snows. But glancing out my office window yesterday, I was shocked—shocked, I tell you—to see big, fat, heavy flakes coming down. It was snowing like crazy for most of the afternoon and evening. The trees in the … Continue reading

Flying in a fog
As I was driving home tonight, a dense fog began to settle over fields at the edge of town. The seagulls weren’t pleased, but it looked like a good photo opportunity. Other foggy pics at my Flickr page.
Snow days
Teachers and students huddled around TV sets in the early morning hours the past two days, hoping and praying their school system had called a snow day. For Olmsted Falls schools, there were two in a row. The church … Continue reading

Clementines
Most of these sweet gems come from Spain, and each year I look forward to buying a little crate of Clementines. They start appearing in the grocery store in mid-autumn, but they’re at their best in December and January. Because … Continue reading
About the banner

Vegas, baby!
My son Rob and I had an adventurous week. We boarded a plane Monday for Las Vegas, our first trip there. I’d always had a curiosity about the city, having seen photos and heard stories of “the strip”…meaning, Las Vegas … Continue reading

The final season
The tree is up, lit, and decorated. If I sound proud, it’s because it took some agonizing work. We have an artificial Christmas tree at home because family members have serious allergies that flare up near a “live” tree. The … Continue reading
