Something almost completely different

My wife and I went to North Adams, Massachusetts yesterday, and today we went to the Museum of Contemporary Art within that somewhat fair city. The museum is in an old factory building, and they’ve made good use of the space, as it allows for some fairly large installations. Most of the rooms are cavernous. […]

Spring is Icumen in

Some pics selected more or less at random from those I took today at the Boston Flower Show.           And one shot of the Boston skyline.    

Night scene on Park Street

Last night we went to Hartford to see an old friend of mine, who I hadn’t seen since High school. We went to a pizza place in Hartford, just around the corner from where I lived until I was six. When we left, what did we see but this old car sitting by the curb. […]

A few photos

We went to Boston today, and I took the opportunity to fool around with a lens I got for Christmas. It’s a fisheye type lens, taking in 180 degrees. Sort of a gimmick, but fun. This first picture is a refelection on the John Hancock building. This one is inside the Boston Public Library. The […]

Weird weather lately

Yesterday morning this Mulberry tree in our backyard had all its leaves. This morning they were almost all gone, lying in a neat little circle beneath the tree. Could the rain have done it? Of course in years long past, like 2009 for instance, this tree would have lost its leaves by mid October, but […]

Summer is well and truly gone

Our lawn sculpture appears to be weeping. He also appears to have a runny nose, which I didn’t notice when I took the picture.

JJB 2011

Just a few pics from the JJB Dinner tonight. Once again our SE CT Drinking Liberally Group filled a table. This time, either through luck, early ticket purchases or recognition of our sterling services to the Democratic Party, we were put in the front row. In previous years I’ve rated the loot left on the […]

Vacation blogging

Some more pictures from the fair City of Charleston. This is the old slave mart. Apparently, in 1856, the city fathers decided, in their wisdom, that selling slaves in the open air was a bit tacky, so the sales had to move indoors. A few interesting structures : We took a cruise to Fort Sumter. […]

Heading South

We’re sitting in our hotel room in Washington. As I said yesterday, no tome to write, but I figure I’ll post some pictures. We left New London during a cold wet rain. But since the trip must be fully documented, I took a snot of New London’s truly beautiful train station from the new, incredibly […]

Sixteen days and counting

We all know, ” for such a beastly month as February, twenty-eight days as a rule are plenty“, and we can now all rejoice that those 28 days have now blessedly departed. Tis true, the snows have not yet fully melted, and we’ve had trouble stringing two sunny days together, not to mention two days […]
