Sat in Madison Park yesterday before lunch, and enjoyed an impromptu trumpet concerto while enjoying the warm weather and the view of the Flatiron Building, one of my favorite buildings in the world.

Caught in Salt Lake City airport bar. Where true cowboys still roam (Utah, that is, NOT the airport).

Winter be damned!   Leave a comment

After so many posts of frozen flowers, icy ponds, snowy trees and wind-swept beaches, I decided I HAD to post something sunny and warm. Here’s our beach in the summer – a far cry from the empty and icy beach it is now. Can’t wait for summer!

Caught while walking through New York, where nobody walks slow enough to get a shot that’s sharply focused. That’s New York: you blink and you miss it.

Heading Home   3 comments

These geese were making a few passes over the field behind our house during sunrise, and then they disappeared beyond the horizon. Hope they found a warm place to set down.

Antique Toys (and celebrating a milestone)   4 comments

Today my blog crossed the threshold of 10,000 all-time views. Thanks to everyone for your comments, visits, and encouragement over the last 2 years!

Now on with the regular post: A visit to the local antique store is always a source for great macro photography, even when I just have my iphone with me. Here’s what I found when strolled through there last week:

Cast Iron Police Car

Penny Bank

Veteran’s Day Remains   1 comment

The town of Branford, CT, honored all men and women killed in action in Afghanistan and Iraq with flags. One for each casualty. A powerful reminder of the futility of war.

Mr. Blue Sky   Leave a comment

Today the sky was so blue I just had to post some pictures of it. And the fall blooms provided a nice contrast.  It was the kind of gorgeous day that made me think of one of my favorite songs that always gets my feet tapping: ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ by ELO (“Sun is shining in the sky, there ain’t a cloud in sight…”).

Fall in Connecticut   Leave a comment

Love the fall colors, even though they are not as bright as usual because hurricane Irene covered the trees with salt water, which made them lose their leaves earlier than usual.
