Earlier this week we did what we usually only do only on vacation: made time to watch the sunset. We went to a place on the central Jersey coast called the Fisherman’s Cove, found a likely spot at the edge of the marina, and lingered enough to see the sun…
The entry to our house is guarded by beautiful trees that are incredibly colorful when in bloom. Here are some middling attempts to catch that in photos.
A few pictures from our snowy neighborhood in today’s brilliant sunlight. The snow is apparently not sticky enough to build a proper snowman, so we ended up with this interesting creature.
To break the monotony of my travel pictures, here is a sampler of flowers that adorn our backyard.
Last night we made a tour around the best-decorated houses in our corner of New Jersey. Christmas may be in the past already but they stay lit for New Year, helping us to get into necessary holiday spirit. Taking pictures hand-held at a high ISO turned out reasonably well, so…

I had my significantly improved photographic equipment with me during last weekend’s customary stay at the semi-annual singer-songwriter festival (I wrote about…
After a short but intense rain at the end of the day, the street is saturated with brilliant colors. I’m not sure how well a formatted-for-web picture can relay it, but I figured I’d try. I only resized it, no other enhancing manipulations were performed here.

Another first in my blogging career – three unrelated posts in one day. As I was sitting in my home office, typing away, I glanced out of the window and saw skies so beautiful that I had to take a picture and post it here.
