Squirrel Snack

A couple weeks ago when I brought my camera to work I walked through the Central Burying Ground located in the Boston Commons. I spotted this squirrel and…

Abstract Christmas Tree

Okay, this is a very unusual image for me. I’m not usually one for abstract art but there was something about this image I found intriguing. It was…

The stocking were hung by the chimney with care…

in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Mom does a wonderful job decorating the fireplace mantel. The three stockings hanging on the right side date back…

Outdoor Refrigeration

One of the benefits of living in New England in the winter is that when it snows you have a free refrigerator. At my aunt’s house if you…

Merry Christmas!

This is what Christmas means to me…the love of family. Every year, for as far back as I can remember (close to 40 years) we have always taken…

Snow Abstract

I was amazed that the snow piled on this branch didn’t fall over. While we did get quite a bit of snow Sunday we were luckily that it…

Snow Box

I think it was the red in this shot that caught my eye. Or maybe it was the green branch. I like how it’s mostly white/light colors and…

Snow Feeder

I’m not sure the exact snowfall total but it had to have been 18+ inches. Thankfully, it wasn’t heavy wet snow or I would be really sore today…

Outside My Window

Today is the first day of winter but it really blew into town yesterday. This is what I woke up to yesterday morning. It was our first big…

Read

Not promoting anything here but “reading is fundamental.” When I was a kid I enjoyed watching tv more than reading. Now that I sit on a train for…

Boston State House

I had a conference in the downtown Boston area on Monday so I thought I’d take the SLR camera with me that day. It was a pretty nice…

Details

It’s amazing how much detail there is in these ice sculptures. Just look at the horse’s eye. I think I can see eyelashes! And, I love how they…

Ice Artists

These are the three men that sculpted the horse and buggy. See yesterday’s shot for a full image. This shot gives you a better perspective on how large…

Horse and Buggy Ice Sculpture

This past Saturday was Halifax’s Holidays in Halifax event. I picked Mom up and we went over for about an hour. Mostly, I just wanted to get a…

Snow Squirrel

The top shot is one of those shots where you think “man, I hope that one comes out.” As I was walking back to my apartment I heard…

Early Morning Snow

The nice thing about a snowstorm on a Sunday morning is that most people aren’t up yet. There’s such a wonderful feeling of tranquility when walking around in…

Red Berries

The red berries are always extra vibrant when it snows. They jumped out at me as I was walking by this bush. Not as much snow on these…

Baby, it’s getting cold outside

I mentioned that last week we had a 70° day and now the weather has turned. It’s cold in the morning, high 20s, but warms up into the…

First Snow

Talk about crazy New England weather…yesterday we had the first snow of the season (in my area anyway) while just 4 days ago I was sitting outside eating…

Captain Miranda

This was the tallest of the Tall Ships. Unfortunately, they didn’t have their sails up but it’s still pretty impressive. “The Captain Miranda was launched in Spain in…

Europa

The sails in yesterday’s image are of this ship called Europa. It is from Amesterdam. I wish I could have gotten a better shot of the boat. It…

Sails of the Tall Ships

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to do this job. While the heights might be enough to keep me away I think it would have to do…

The Roseway

“The Roseway is 137 feet of tall ship crowned with clouds of tanbark sails. In 1941 the Roseway was purchased by the Boston Pilot’s Association and spent the…
