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 […]

Spring has finally sprung around southeastern Connecticut. The leaves have all sprouted, and everthing is looking nice and green of late. Today I decided to take my walk around the Mill Cove area in Ledyard to take in some of the greenery, and of coursse use it as a backdrop […]
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 […]

Well, today started out as a typical Monday – got out of the house a touch late, and didn’t realize until I was walking into my building that I had left my laptop at home – 40 minutes away. So I went in, checked messages – I’ve got a desktop […]
