You know it's cold when the Mystic River freezes over. It takes a few nights around zero for this to happen. I order to get the starburst effect on the sunset, you have to increase your F-stop to as high as it will go. Enjoy.
A gaggle of geese sleeping along the banks of the Mystic River in Medford, MA during the first snowstorm of 2014.
Took a 10 minute hike off the road in VT to see this little known place called Chesterfield Gorge State Wayside, VT. Enjoy.
It's dropped about 20 degrees here in the last few days and I suspect that these flowers may have their last hurrah tonight. Enjoy.
This shot, from an old home that will be demolished soon, caused an internal debate for me as I thought this may be best shown in black and white. After an internal struggle that wasted way too much time, I realized the contrast between the cool blue hallway and warm light in the room, looked best in color. When the paint falls off the door and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Enjoy.
This dog is standing at attention awaiting his owner's next throw of a small pebble into the ocean. Seemed pointless to me, but the dog loved the water fun. Taken at Rockport, MA Enjoy
I climbed down this rickety ships ladders at the harbor in Rockport, MA to get this down low shot of the famous red fishermans building. I've seen and taken so many pics from the traditional viewport, that I wanted to try something new. I love the patina on the dingy. I also love that word, Dingy, dingy dingy. One Ringy Dingy Two ringy dingy, remember that?
The impact of a rose placed in one of the names of the lives lost on 911 is powerful. 911 Memorial, NYC.
Except, when it adorns the 911 Memorial, it takes on a whole new meaning.
Awesome view from the Rare View bar atop the Hilton in the Fashion District of NYC. We had some drinks there a few weekends ago. The view is spectacular. The lighted area to the left is overspill from Times Square. Enjoy.
It's not every day you get to see a $425,000 car cruising the streets. This guy was thrilled with the attention he got as he rolled into Little Italy in NYC recently. Note the irony. This is a 50th Anniversary Lamborghini Aventador. Enjoy.
Ominous storm clouds heading towards our house last night. Passing monsoon lasted only about 20 minutes. Enjoy.
This is a composite photo of a few of the fireworks that went off on the Fourth in Wakefield, MA. Enjoy.
My new diet is working wonders. Just walk by a motorcycle with lots of chrome, and find a point where you look really thin. Taken up in Newburyport, MA on a crappy day, but it was a very cool bike. My legs have always been skinny, but this is over the top. Even the Lexus SUV behind me was transformed into a coupe. Enjoy.
Not much else to say but that I can get things done when the girls are shopping.
I opened the freezer the other day and found these little nuggets of goodness (don't tell my daughter) ready for consumption. Thank you Mariott for the idea to freeze grapes and eat them subzero. It was humid out and the moisture had condensed nicely on the outside enough for me to grab my macro lens and hold the freezer door open while taking some shots. My kids thought I was insane, but I just loved the crystals that had formed on the outside of these red grapes. Enjoy.
