Other Photos of Sacramento
Here are the rest of my photos from our trip to Sacramento. Above is the capital of California…
Dedication for New Lutheran Church
Yesterday I attended the dedication service for the new building of the local Lutheran church. It is a lovely, rather Nordic structure, that has been quite a project in the making for years. Below, in the bottom photo, you can see a “before” picture to show you how far this congregation has come to be … Read more
A Terrific Old Cabin
Our wonderful hostess grew up spending summers in this wonderful cabin, which her Swiss parents purchased in the 1940’s. What a privilege to be here and see it, complete with its cast iron sink, working wood stove.
Foggy Morning in Stonington, Maine
Here are photos from my morning walk in Stonington, Maine. This is a working town of lobster fisherman, and I am staying in a beautiful home overlooking the harbor. (My gracious hostess is in the bottom photo: thank you, thank you!) The mental breathing space I feel here is quite indulgent; I am very grateful … Read more
Photos from my New Walk Route
Recently, I shared photos from my walk around my neighborhood that I’ve done for years. I like that walk for obvious reasons – it’s lovely and a loop right out of my front door, complete with gardens close up. But it makes a more leisurely ramble than exercise, partly due to it’s flatness, but also … Read more
At the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival
I recommend this Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival held on the lovely grounds of Boscobel with its outstanding view. We saw All’s Well that Ends Well last night, preceded by a picnic with friends and ogling the majestic panorama at our feet; it was wonderful. These actors perform to an intimate three-sided audience as entertainment instead … Read more
Photos from My Morning Walk
I took these photos today on my morning walk in our neighborhood. Since the weekend temperatures crested over 100 degrees, I was impressed with how vibrant things were anyway – plants and flowers, butterflies and bees were all thriving in the humid early morning sun.
Photos from a Walk Around Jamaica Lake
While I was in Boston, I enjoyed a lovely walk around Jamaica Lake with a friend. Check out my photos… Lots of other folks were also enjoying the day!
Photos of the Barn at New Pond Farm
These photos are of the barn at New Pond Farm. They include photos of the pasteurization room and the last photo is the shed for making maple syrup. Notice how yellow the milk is (all that grass the cows eat) and how the cream settles on the top. I love this barn. It is a … Read more
Photos of Houses in my Neighborhood Last Spring
I took these photos on some of the nice days early this spring but never got around to posting them until now…
A Dream House
Back when I was leaving engineering in New York City, I considered working with an investor to buy houses for me to renovate for resale. We looked at…
Photos from a Stroll Down Main Street Ridgefield, CT
Our church is on Main Street in Ridgefield, and I took a walk there on this particularly lovely Saturday. Here are some of the photos I took….
Photos of Architecture in Jamaica Plain
I drove my daughter to an activity in Boston today. While she was doing her thing, I hung out with friends in their neighborhood of Jamaica Plain.
Mark Twain’s House in Lego
For those LEGO enthusiasts out there, I had to share this. We saw it in the Hartford airport: Mark Twain’s house in Lego. Mark Twain won and lost several fortunes in his lifetime; this house was clearly from a winning streak! Imagine building it out of Lego!
Photos of Local Architecture in Early Spring
Loving the season… this is what my neighborhood looks like right now…
