New Year’s Day this year was spent cruising the Everglades in south Florida with the family. Well, the daylight hours were spent down there. We’ll get to the evening activities later. Well, let’s see, it’s October 15th – n0t even Halloween yet. But tonight we got our first snowfall – and I’m not talking about a couple flakes. It was wet enough, and came down fast enough to accumulate a bit on the front lawn! So I had to get a shot of it. Today my wife called me at the office about doing something after work today with the kids. A friend of hers told her about a place out in Griswold, CT that literally acres and acres of sunflowers. I figured it would be a nice cap to the day, so she made sandwiches and I met [...] 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 hail. Anyways, after the party [...] Once again, I’m behind. Here’s some stuff from last week – April 15th, or Tax Day for those of us here in the US. As the day started out, I thought I wouldn’t catch any train action, but as it ended, that all changed.

But as things would turn out, no trains were [...] Yeah, a little behind again. Work & family stuff have their way of getting in the way of blogging… But that’s OK – at least I’ve got a quick chance to catch up. Oh, yeah, and I tweaked the blog software a bit – specifically in the realm of image display within [...] After the long Memorial Day weekend (I’ll have photos from the Lebanon, CT Memorial Day Parade sometime in the next few days if you’re interested), and having meetings all last week, I finally got out last Thursday to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere in Ledyard. The weather was perfect, and I not [...] Back in NJ again for a couple days. Yesterday I mixed things up a bit – no NJ Transit stuff at all, but I did catch some Norfolk Southern, Morristown & Erie, as well as the elusive Lehigh Valley Rail Management switchers. Yep, for those of you who are paying attention, I did [...] As I mentioned in this post, I hit Magic Wings in Deerfield, MA on Sunday with my wife & kids. Of course, the camera came into the butterfly conservatory, and I went nuts, taking about 200 shots. Here’s the top 35 shots from our adventures in the greenhouses of Deerfield. Sorry, no [...] |
