I’m sure you’re asking yourselves “What on earth is he talking about now?” Well, read on and you’ll get your answer. I headed to Erickson Park in Ledyard, CT again for my walk this morning, and did end up bagging NR-2 rolling southbound on this rather warm Friday morning before […]

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, […]
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 […]
Well, due to other commitments, I couldn’t make it out for my normal AM walk today. So I figured some stairs may be in order instead, so I opted to eat my lunch on the road, and head to the Old Saybrook Amtrak station for lunch. I was hoping to […]
