Welcome to the first installment of Monday Photos. In taking a writing break from this blog, I am going to share some interesting photos. OK, interesting to me. Since all I have to share is photos and their captions, I am using the block editor. Note: these photos have been collected over time and will... Continue Reading →
If you were following this blog last summer, you might remember that I tried taking a bit of a break. The plan was that I would only share photos on Mondays. Of course, this is me, so words were involved. Still, Mondays from late June to early September are among my shortest posts. Ironically, they... Continue Reading →
I had another week that was pretty busy. I managed to get out to gather more door photographs, but I still haven’t found time to sit down and do the research I want to do. If you’re wondering why that matters, read on. If you can live without that explanation, skip to the gallery. Wait,... Continue Reading →

As I mentioned on Saturday, for the past 10-12 years, about half of the canal path has been closed in order to protect a nesting pair of bald eagles who have... Continue Reading →
Please enjoy the gallery. I enjoyed taking the pictures and I had time to write the captions, but that’s it for today.
My one-liner (the sign) was taken during a different winter and would normally be an appropriate warning at this time of year. As the temperature begins to rise in March, the snow along the upper 350 miles (563 km) of the Connecticut River would start melting and the river would rise. Great River Park (the...

I’m still working in the archives, so I thought I’d explain some of this work today. That way, if you’re not interested, you can just skip to the gallery of doors that were unearthed in the process. The process? You ask. Yes, you see organizing my old digital photos wasn’t even the initial goal. The... Continue Reading →
