This spot is off of Rt. 169 in Canterbury, one of the scenic routes in northeastern Connecticut.

At Kennebunk, ME

All summer our little pond was not more that a large puddle. We were having such a drought. But in the past 6 weeks or so, we've had two significant snow falls and yesterday a deluge of rain. Today both our ponds are brimming.

Despite the dreary looking day, we headed to Yonkers yesterday and so glad we did. Untermyer was glorious.

It was the perfect summer night for a sail or a stroll along the new New York waterfront. Pics taken from Pier 6 in Brooklyn

All four Cygnets hatched over the weekend, 41-42 days after Victoria started to incubate them, spot on time.

It seems to me that when Albert sat the first two eggs for seven days, he wasn't actually incubating them. I am wondering if his feathers were to well insulated to allow his body heat to start the incubation period ?

I found this scene right next to Monet's garden.

This tends to be the way they hang out--one or the other on top of each other. #grassforcats, #classycatscatnip, #dianewillowdesigns

So much new construction in Manhattan. For years and years this lot had a gas station and carwash . . . now it's a condominium! On lower 6th Avenue

Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning and decided to hop in the car to see what I could find. Have only been on this road maybe 5 times in my life and don't remember seeing this barn before. Loved it!

At NYBG. 3 hours a week I volunteer to photograph the plant specimens gathered from all over the world. Last week the specimens were from Brazil and dated in the 1920's. This specimen is from 1973 and somewhere in New York. I forgot to write down the name. :( For their digitized files we are using all sorts of professional cameras. This shot was for me so I just used my iPhone.

Part of Gantry State Park looking at mid-town Manhattan. These tracks must have been part of the pier system removing cargo from ships. Most of the piers are gone--although there are two to the right of this photo that you can walk out on.

The Kiku exhibit at NYBG was not the largest they have hosted, but there were still lots of beautiful blooms to enjoy

The real and the reflection!
