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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
It was a terribly gloomy day at the Chester Fair. Sounds of the countryside echoed throughout the grounds – ducks quacking, sheep baa-ing, chickens squawking, you name it. There was even a camel eating sweaters. Then I spotted these colorful little gems and life was good.
Hundreds and hundreds of birds are beginning their migration South for the Winter. I’ve spotted gigantic flocks almost everyday for the past several weeks. Strange that many are to be found on the power lines right in front of my house. How can I resist? About two hundred birds gather during the late morning hours, [...]
On a brief weekend strut through the Cove, there were many a feline to be seen. I have a sneaking suspicion they are keen for the lovely weather we had on Sunday.
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 [...]
