New York Vertigo   2 comments

Looking up in New York never gets tiring, even though most New Yorkers don’t. That’s how you can tell who is a tourist and who is not. I still look up all the time.

New England Antiques   Leave a comment

A late afternoon drive around our town revealed you don’t have to go to an antique store to find antiques.

 

I’m sure this snow plow hasn’t seen any action for years.

 

And the antique store has turned into an antique….

A barrel of monkeys in Costa Rica   Leave a comment

Red Spring   1 comment

While not everything is blooming yet, the red barn and the red door on a cottage in our neighborhood are adding a nice splash of color to the surroundings. Soon they’ll have competition from the spring flowers.

Americus, Georgia   Leave a comment

Took a few shots on the main thoroughfare of Americus, GA, a small town 100 miles south of Atlanta, on a recent business trip there. Here’s the Windsor Hotel, a Victorian landmark:

The three-story lobby is gorgeous.

Old building along Lamar Street, the main street in town:

All shot with Canon Powershot G12, my compact camera I take along when I don’t want to carry my DSLR.
