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

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 ?

At Kennebunk, ME

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

has a life has a spirit has a name. From the theme song from Pocahontas written by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz

I wish summer was just beginning instead of moving on . . . a small garden beside the palace.

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

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

As seen in the parking lot at the Ramp at Cape Porpoise, Kennebunk, ME on Christmas Prelude Weekend

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!

Early rose!

I combined the buildings and the sculpture into a swirl of color. Chase Plaza, Downtown, NYC

And later taking the ferry back to Wall Street.

The Four Trees at Chase Plaza, NYC

This is part of the North 40 of my parent's property in Connecticut. When I was a kid and my dad was busy clearing the woods to make this huge field, he and I would tend the huge brush fires that he would light always in the dead of winter with no wind but snow on the ground.There would be crunchy snow underfoot, millions of stars in the sky and plenty of heat from the fire to keep us warm.

Those are such cherished memories. I'm not particularly religious, but I did see God in the sky yesterday.

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

This beautiful art on a building probably from the early 1900's is the cornerstone of a street filled with new condos all selling in the multi-millions. I got to tour the blue glass building when it was under construction in 2008/2009 and I thought "who is going to live over here? Way too far west; no decent public transportation etc., etc" Well, guess what? lot's of people are buying over here and there's a crosstown bus stop right across the street! I was so totally wrong! I can and do show properties here if anyone is interested in moving :)

Funktional Vibrations by artist Xenobia Bailey Apparently she crocheted these pieces before they were converted to glass tiles. That would have taken me two lifetimes at minimum!
