Only three days after I took this photo, Irene came through and added another 12' of water to this sleepy waterfall. I saw a video of this area on youtube and where I was standing was completely covered in rushing water. I beleive it's back to normal now. This is in Glen, NH at the Goodrich Falls. I'm anxious to revisit this next time I'm up there. Many of the roads and bridges were washed out in this area and it's hard to imagine this beautiful, serene view is forever changed.  Enjoy.

I finally got a chance to head out to take some photos last night before sunset. I thought the contrasting colors of these flowers really looked cool. Enjoy

Just dreaming about the beautiful sunsets we had off the Cruise last summer. This was one of them. Enjoy.

Boston's famous Quincy Market with the Custom House Tower looming in the background.  A little bit of HDR to get the detail in the shadows.  Enjoy.

No this isn't one of those windmills you putt through at the mini-golf, but it is at Kimball Farms miniature golf course in Westford, MA.  What a great place and the ice cream is to die for.  Enjoy.

Happy Fourth of July.  Enough said.  Enjoy.

I crouched down near these flowers to frame the rowboats on the water at the pond in Central Park, NY. Enjoy.

Even an Ant has to get a drink of water every now and then. It looks like that is what he was doing. Enjoy and don't get creeped out.

I got up at about 4:30AM, drove 45 minutes in anticipation of an awesome foggy morning on the river, but neither turned out as expected.  The mosquitoes were relentless though. I did manage to get these two guys fishing early in the morning on the Carlisle River.  Enjoy.

While driving home from Kimball Farms last week, the sun was setting behind me and I saw this wetland area that looked like a nature preserve out of a magazine.  The birds were flying around and the bugs were biting.  Enjoy.

It's not the most beautiful of buildings, but without this 1967 built Dam, the Mystic River would still be a tidal river.  I took this sunset photo where I hadn't intended on taking a photo of it.  Thank you mother nature for the wonderful sky.  Happy Fathers Day,  Enjoy.

Oh, you know what building this is. I took this on a late night photo walk w/ my telephoto and tripod, of course. One of my fav's. Enjoy.

How can you say no to this Angelic face?  My relative's daughter playing in the yard on Memorial Day.  Enjoy.

Looks like Paul has been watching the Stanley Cup finals.  HDR of the statue in the north end. Go Bruins!

I've found the best statue of liberty head shot for the new stamp.  How could our US Postal service screw that one up so badly?  Using the Vegas statue is inexcusable.  Enjoy.

Signs of the Zodiac in NYC. Sculpture can be found on the south end of Central Park. Enjoy.

I know, all you need is Love, la de da de da. I found this icon just up the street from our hotel. Enjoy.

When I tell you I didn't see this spider the first time, I'm not kidding.  This little guy is no bigger than a pencil point.  I re-framed the photo so you could see him.  Taken in my yard during last week's rainy season.  His web was haphazardly constructed, but well placed.  Enjoy.

Did you ever feel like it was one of those days when everyone was crapping on you.  George M. Cohan has that feeling every day in Times Square.  Enjoy.

This shot was a bit tricky.  I was sharing the pavement w/ a homeless guy at night in order to shoot this up through this sculpture outside the office building on 57th & Lexington in NYC.  I had to lay on the ground to make sure the lens had captured this on center.  Enjoy.
