Today we were graced with something we haven’t seen in quite a while – blue skies and sunshine! So I had to take advantage of the great weather and get out. Of course, things didn’t exactly go as planned – but like always, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just […]

Gloomy, gloomy skies. Seems like that past few weeks have seen nothing but clouds, rain & storms. Well, this morning was no different – overcast, but no rain. But with a small hole in my schedule I decided to head out to see what I could see on a walk. […]
Tonight we had to go out to a graduation party in Glastonbury, and drove through that nasty thunderstorm (the one that spawned the tornado warning for the Willimantic area). We must have gone through close to the middle of it – wind, lightning, torrential rain and near golf ball sized […]
Yep, Providence & Worcester train NRWO, who usually runs from Plainfield to Worcester and back weeknight evenings, made their way out the Willimantic Branch this evening to work the interchange with the New England Central. And I just happened to catch them as they were heading out of town.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! This year my wife & daughters came up with a downright unique Father’s Day gift for me. Nope, not a tie or a coffee mug. But it is a shirt – but it’s not just any shirt. They came up with […]

Yesterday was another less than stellar weather day. But like usual, that doesn’t stop me from going out to shoot when I can. After work I decided to head west to a new spot for me – Phillipsburg, NJ, which is home to the Phillipsburg Railroad Historians‘ museum near the […]
