This past Sunday, my older daughter Katina had a birthday party to go do for a friend from school. So that left her younger sister Callie and I with an open afternoon to do what we wanted. I asked her if she’d like to go with me to photograph a […]
Today I had to bring my older daughter to the dentist, and then school, so I was going into work late. As it worked out, the Providence & Worcester ran another NR-4X to Willimantic today. So I figured I could take the scenic route into work and hopefully come across […]

Got out again this morning for my walk/Providence & Worcester shooting. Not much different than yesterday – only a little more sun to work with. Too bad it wasn’t later on when the sparkling blue skies broke out around Connecticut. Oh, well, can’t win ’em all I guess.
Yesterday, despite the rain, I was able to get out to fit in a walk, and of course catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard. At least this time of year some of the trees are in bloom. Too bad it was too early to celebrate Cinco de Mayo […]
