Today is graduation day at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT, so the place has been hopping. From increased security around President Bush’s visit to the commenecement ceremonies, to quite a few more boats in the Thames River just above the Gold Star Bridge. Of course, […]

Didn’t have much time for a walk today, because I had to head over to New London to ship out the Sigma 2x teleconverter I’m returning (not happy with the performance of it with my shooting style – see this post for more info). But I did end up catching […]
Well, with the bright sunshine and warmer temps, the walk was a bit more pleasurable than last week’s gloomy & rainy weather. Also, with the bright sunshine I was able to put my new Sigma 2x EX APO DG teleconverter through it’s paces. At the end of my short shooting […]
You must be asking yourself, what the hell is the Fair Hope & Northern Railroad? Well, I can tell you that it does exist, but only in HO form. The Fair Hope & Northern is the creation of a friend of mine, Steve Rodgers (lead singer, guitarist & songwriter for […]

Another cloudy and foggy start to the day today. And again, the bulk of the fog stayed to the south of the Thames River, and didn’t come into play when I took my walk near Red Top in Ledyard, CT on the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch. But I did […]
