In honor of yesterday’s brief and unbecoming snowfall (which, granted, has already melted away), it recalled a scene in Branford’s Youngs Pond Park and Mother Nature’s winter trickery: the day it fell cold once again after several successive, and convincing, spring-like days. Oh, how finicky she can be.
Driving around looking for a good angle of the Hollywood sign brought us to the Griffith Observatory. However, considering our usual Monday luck it was closed, but we walked the grounds and got a substantial view of a smoggy City of Angels. On the drive back down into the heart of Hollywood, we stumbled across [...]
A graphical twist for the holiday with a little squirrel love (and caroling). Thank you for your visits and meaningful comments over the past year; it has been a joy blogging with you! Now please, eat, drink and be merry! Have a Merry, Merry Christmas photobloggers! P.S. – If you’re struggling from Christmas fever, drop [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, friends. A little belated, I know. Got tied up designing and cooking a scrumptious menu for five. This is one of the only remaining turkeys from Gozzi Turkey Farm where we got our fresh kill, free range, organic turkey. The business has been around since 1940, founded by Bill Gozzi’s grandparents. Why is [...]
I’ve been going through my archives over the past couple of days trying to find the right photos to donate to my friend’s Adoption Awareness Art Show, and in the interim of all this, it’s reminding me of photos I’ve never shared on this blog before. The pigeon above possibly died falling out the sky [...]
Pardon me while I play catchup: In celebration of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, occurring in early October, services of worship are held internationally at local churches blessing animals ranging in size and species, from turtles to elephants. In the sleepy hamlet of Ivoryton, a series of canines were present as prayers [...]
While photographing a golf match for the newspaper, I began chatting with an older man with a slight hearing deficiency. Besides the fact that conversations as such are entertaining and aggravating considering that you need to repeat yourself a few times, he spotted a hawk that just had perched on a branch across the way. [...]
There’s a rooster somewhere in my neighborhood. It just caws and warbles from someplace unknown. It’s not even strictly in the morning, but in the afternoon. It’s such a strange bird. It’s not the one pictured above, but that’s what I think of when I look at it.
So I will start by stating the obvious that, clearly, I have been a bad photoblogger lately. However, I have been taking pictures constantly! My new job at the paper affords me that awesome-o-city that is my current life. I’ve been spending a lot of time immersing myself into the CT community. It’s not so [...]
Last Summer I went on my first whale watch near Massachusetts Bay. We did very well that even the announcer was verbally ecstatic every time a blowhole would pop out or bird ball would form. The gulls that are swarming the humpbacks were practicing the daily routine of eating all the excess plankton that hangs [...]
Today was a sad day on the fort; it was unanimous that it was time to put down our beloved thirteen-year-old pup, Tessa. Now I might sound biased, but she was the best damn dog I’ve ever met – always happy, energetic, loving, considerate, playful – better than most people you’d meet on the street. [...]
