This past Sunday I was still nursing a problem with my hip. Rather than do my normal four or five miles – it was beautiful outside, though brisk – I took my new DSLR out for a walk on my normal running route. Below are the pictures that came from that walk, including one of… Continue reading A Winter Walk
The area of Upstate New York where I live is finally getting the winter we have been waiting for all season. Until today, the storms have maybe hit five inches but only once or twice. My son’s school district has had two snow days, before today – both of which were not bad enough to… Continue reading Snowicane
I am a bit behind on my posting about the wonderful, art-filled activities going on in my life. On February 4th, I went to an opening of an exhibit for a dear friend. His exhibit is at the 213 Cooperative Gallery in Binghamton. Below are some shots from the opening. Should you be in the… Continue reading The Beginning of February
I bought a new digital camera a bit ago. I am still trying to get use to all the features it has and those it may not have, like video. In this attempt, I am going to post some photos from my first week with the camera. This photos are posted in response to Katye’s… Continue reading Photos

It is January, a new year, a new decade and evidently a new weather trend – cold. What is one to expect when living in Upstate… Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside
The last year of this decade was a huge one for me personally. I did not sit down at the end of December 2008, as I normally would, and review the past year and set expectations for the year to come. I let 2009 roll in and through on its own. Parts of that were… Continue reading 2009 in Personal Review
Winter has finally started to rear what some may call its ugly head in upstate New York. Yes, we had a small taste in October but that was followed by mild weather so did not stay with us long at all. Today, I am hearing and seeing winter, along with feeling it in the cold… Continue reading Winter
I have been to the first and second meetings of the Groton Photo Club. I really am loving taking pictures with people who know much more than I do and in a place I do not normally take pictures. You see, I am not from Groton but drive up for this event once a month.… Continue reading Greater Groton Photo Club
