I have looked through all of the photographs from my tour of The Willard Asylum, and some are now posted here if you wish to see them. This photograph was taken in the projection room. The titles...

Willard Asylum

Just a little over 8 months ago I read about a project that to me, is a photographer’s dream. Named The Willard Suitcases, it is an ongoing project by photographer Jon Crispin, who is photographing...

Texture by Evelyn Flint

Deep In Thought…

…and headlong into final exams, but the countdown is on and in just about a week it will be over. I am definitely looking forward to it. If you’re a Photoshop user, then you are probably aware of...

Cherry Blossom Time

They’re Here!

The magnolias have finally begun blooming, and of course I am thrilled. They are really beautiful this year. Unfortunately, along with some nicer weather has come a lot of wind. Not exactly ideal...

The Unknown

If anyone knows the name of this flower, I would love to know. All I can tell you, is that it’s a very hairy little thing. Update: Thank you so much, Jen for identifying this as a Pasque Flower.

Emerging

Regardless of the fact that it is still so cold here, or the fact that we had a dusting of snow overnight, Mother Nature knows it’s time. Have a great beginning to your week!

He’s Okay

I have received a flood of email over a very short period of time inquiring about my son, and the incident in Boston. He is okay, but a bit shaken. I cannot thank all of you enough for being so...

Boston Harbor

Early in the season, Early in the morning, So peaceful.

Two Coffees Please…

…one with milk and one suspended. It began in Naples, spread to Belgium, and then kind of stalled when it hit the U.S. Suspended Coffee. You go into your favorite coffee shop to buy your coffee,...

Fun With Baggies

If you live in an area where spring is springing, then surely you are not lacking inspiration. However, should you find yourself there at some point as many of us do, this is something you might...

It’s All in the Hands

I am quite sure I could not talk if I did not use my hands. I’m Italian. It’s a “condition” I have. I’m convinced that things are so much better described when done so with my hands. Oh, and I know...

Not Just a Number

New England Holocaust Memorial, Boston Massachusetts There are 6. Six, to symbolize the 6 main death camps. Each tower is 54 feet high. Etched into the glass panels are numbers. Six million in...

Happy Easter

It’s definitely been a week of travel, and tomorrow I am off once again. This time, Boston! The weatherperson has promised me sunny skies, and the weatherperson does not lie. Well, not this weekend...

Inside and Outside

Inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral (NYC) …and outside on the street (NYC)

Weekend in NYC

Have you ever had the experience of just “clicking” with a person? Have you ever had the experience of just “clicking” with a person you’ve never met? I spent a wonderful weekend in NYC, where my...

Worth the Wait

It was just under a year ago, and it was spring break for me. Now normally my spring breaks are really not like spring at all in terms of the weather, but this one was different. After the...

The Know It’s Time

The sun is shining (finally), but the wind is howling, and it’s a bitter cold day. At times throughout the weekend it has snowed, but somehow they know it’s time. And so they work to come forth in...

Saying Good-Bye to Google Reader

If you use Google Reader, then you are probably aware that as of July, it will no longer be. For me, this meant that the search was on to find a replacement. I used Google Reader a lot, and I did...

Things I Never Knew

Queen Anne’s lace is “born” with little bits of pink. White Dogwood is “born” with all the colors of a rainbow.

Home Shopping

A sure sign of spring!

Baby’s Breath

Okay, at the risk of sounding a bit crazed, I have a “thing” for Baby’s Breath. Not just a little thing either. I mean Baby’s Breath may very well be right up there with magnolias for me, and you...

On the Street

This was taken in downtown Boston, and I’m not really sure what was going on here. The poor young man was trying so hard to tuck what looked like a card into the flowers, and then rearrange them....

Morning on Plum Island (Part 2)

Morning on Plum Island

Blast From the Past

Yesterday, I was looking for for some documentation for lenses that belonged to my father-in-law. Well, I did not find the documentation, but looky here!! This was my very first digital camera....
