Greetings from Maine

Saturday, March 13, 2010

We played hooky from politics today, missing the candidate meet and greet in Stonington to get together with some friends in Portland, Maine. As I write this I am in a hotel room in Portland, quite glad that I missed the rain down in Connecticut. This is a great town, by the way, superior to […]

Hints of spring

Friday, March 12, 2010

I’m not really very good at remembering the names of the various plants, bushes and other assorted vegetation we have around the house, and at the moment my wife’s not around to lend her expertise. In any event, this is a picture of a pussy willow (is that a generic term for this sort of […]

Some Photoshop like fun

Sunday, February 28, 2010

A little fun with pictures. This is an Amaryllis that is currently blooming here in our house. This is the original version, more or less: And here it is after a little editing in Pixelmator (the poor man’s version of Photoshop). I know this has nothing to do with politics, but it’s the weekend.

Holiday Pictures

Monday, February 15, 2010

This is a holiday, so I refuse to spend my day venting against the Democrats, such as Evan Bayh, who seems to be determined to wreak maximum damage before he leaves. I can only say, good riddance to him. If we play our cards right, we can be the minority party in the Senate, and […]

Lamont visit Redux

Saturday, February 6, 2010

I’ve finally gotten around to editing the still pictures that I took at Thursday’s Drinking Liberally. There aren’t that many. Below, Liz Duarte and Ned. Liz was primarily responsible for getting Ned to come. You can see the lot, and download any one you like, here.

To Keene and back

Sunday, January 17, 2010

My wife and I just returned from New Hampshire, and herewith a few pictures. We stopped in Northampton at the Green Street Cafe, which is, believe it or not, located on Green Street in that fair city. The owners are currently engaged in a David and Goliath battle with Smith College, from whom the apparently […]

It begins-the Christmas Season, that is

Sunday, December 6, 2009

Some months ago my wife and I signed up for a bus trip to New York sponsored by the Groton Rec Department, which trip occurred yesterday. The fates decreed that the 5th of December should be a miserable day. To rub it in, it was sandwiched between two glorious fall days. Such is life. We […]

Autumn colors

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Fading fast, but not quite gone. These are from our backyard, a Japanese Maple, with bright red leaves, and a Redbud with a variety of more muted colors.

Greetings from up North

Saturday, October 3, 2009

Some months ago we made plans to come up to Maine in the fall, and this is the weekend we picked. As I write this I am sitting in a hotel room in Ogunquit, Maine. This hotel is supposed to have free wireless, and it is free, on the rare occasions when one can get […]

Ahhh Vermont!

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Where else but Vermont. There is a dirt road from Weston (of the Vermont Country Store) to Landgrove, one of the most beautiful settings in Vermont. I have tried many times, and failed each time, to take a photograph that captures the beauty of the mountain valley at Landgrove. Only a painter could do it […]
