It was a time of innocence a time of confidences.
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.
“Bookends” Simon and Garfunkel.
One of my favorite of all the S and G tunes, and a photo from the way back machine.
Rocky passed a few months ago and Mom and Dad miss him terribly.

A couple of my favorite personal photos: playing around, personals, things that made me laugh a little:
“The All Photographers Need to be in Focus Series”
Dad is pretty much a ham! I gave him one of my older DSLRs a few years ago, and he still can’t get over the fact that you can’t line up the prisms in the viewfinder. We’re working on learning how to get the photos from the camera to the computer.
For everyone who DOESN’T like having their picture taken, I completely and utterly commiserate. That’s why we have so much fun when I’m doing the picture taking
And of course Bailey didn’t want to be stuck in the car when everyone was having so much fun outside.
I love to travel, but didn’t get very far this year: DC, which I adore and so convenient since Morgan lives right outside the District (and I can’t wait to get back for the Cherry Blossoms!) Took the nephews down for a few days since they had never been
Didn’t make Martha’s Vineyard as much as usual since my weekends were pretty much booked solid, but the 4th of July is always off the calendar. Reading of the Declaration of Independence has been an annual family and friends tradition since ~1946, and Dad let Morgan be the guest speaker since she has missed the past 2 celebrations while serving in Iraq.
Brother Gus overseeing the whole operation….
Chilmark pond was opened to allow the water level to drop, and in the incoming tide caused large dunes along the ocean side. Such a cool shot of the water coming up and splashing the dunes. One of my all time favorites cause it’s so weird.
Boston: Scott Kelby’s PhotoWalk North End Boston.
I Love Boston. Enough said.
Great day except I missed my scheduled train and had to wait 2.5 hours. BLEH!
Stay tuned for favorite wedding photos from the year. So many to choose from!!

As anyone who knows me well can tell, I have a few passions, one of which is history; since I live in the northeast the rich history of the Revolutionary War comes to life frequently. One great pleasure I had recently was doing the Scott Kelby World Wide Photowalk in the northend of Boston-pictures will come soon, I promise!
Old Sturbridge Village being just up the road more or less, was the setting for the most recent re-enactment of a revolutionary battle. Not real sure if it was fictious or a real battle, but the encampments were real, the re-enactors were real and the whole town was alive with the bustle of army camp.
Friends Bill and Ellie invited me to go with them and we had a fabulous day. Sun! Picnics and great conversations with the actors, who have a real passion for these events. A great day.
The Battle Scenes
The Supporting Characters
And of course the kids: it was great to see so many real familes especially with the little kids and teenagers.
