Warren, Connecticut. This stream running through Angevine Farm was ice locked a few weeks ago. This is a transition time: we might have another snow but the trees are budding and there’s no turning back now, spring is here and things are warming up and coming back to life after the winter freeze.
Another view of [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Lake Waramaug is about four miles end to end so it’s a mid-size fresh water lake by Connecticut standards. However, when you add ice, fog, and a wide-angle lens, Tinker Hill, a mile away on the other side, looks like an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific.

Warren, Connecticut. Our cat, "The Kitty" turned 17 today and given what this cat has been through as a "professional cat" living to 17 is akin to one of us living to 100. Here’s the back story I wrote on The Kitty on her 16th birthday.
The Kitty has had arthritis for a few years and [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I got out relatively early this morning and I’m glad I did; the lake was shrouded in early morning fog that was quickly burning off. Couple that with frozen but quickly melting ice on the lake and you have a recipe for interesting photography.
Another view of the same image.

Queens, New York. Mt. Zion is one of the older Jewish cemeteries in New York and unlike newer cemeteries it seems to have the feel of an old Jewish cemetery in Prague or Cracow. Many of the stones in this row had ivy growing over them and while it might have symbolized life growing out [...]

Inside Apple TV is an excellent article on what Apple TV is and is not, and on its inner workings.
This is the most useful article I’ve read yet on how Apple TV works. Dang, I want one of these things.

Warren, Connecticut. Each holiday season my wife brings home a few poinsettias from parties at her school and most years they don’t make it through winter in the wood stove caused dry atmosphere of our house. This plant must be particularly hardy or my wife must be watering it constantly because winter is almost over [...]

Me, My Soul, and I: “Writer Douglas Hofstadter elaborates on his more mind-bending ideas. By Kevin Kelly from Wired Magazine.”
I read Gödel, Escher, Bach a long time ago and it changed my life. Well, I read it and understood some of it. Always good to catch up with these folks who we knew in our [...]

New Preston, Connecticut. While in yoga class I had the idea to take some pictures of poses from the viewpoint of the person doing yoga. There’s something about these various views of pieces of one’s own body that struck me as interesting. The problem is, with this pose both hands are on the ground so [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Anne was eating breakfast the other day and called me to watch our local, young hawk eating its breakfast too. Being a "country girl" she was able to continue eating as the hawk dismembered the dove and pieces went flying.
This was shot through a gas-filled, double-paned window and cropped.

Queens, New York. Mt. Zion is one of the older Jewish cemeteries in New York and unlike newer cemeteries it seems to have the feel of an old Jewish cemetery in Prague or Cracow. These rows of stones feel like proxies for the people they memorialize, some old and broken down, some large and important [...]

Queens, New York. These are the smoke stacks on the power plant next to Mt. Zion Cemetery.
I’m posting this image because it’s an example of a problem that I’ve not seen in my images before. Maybe it has something to do with the cold day.
