In honor of the summer solstice, a moment most welcome after the harsh trials of this past winter. Tom’s beautiful words are perfect

Getting Ready
So fellow travelers, I don’t know what it is about my family, special events and severe weather. The day before my daughter’s graduation party the weather reports turned serious. High winds, severe thunderstorms and a tornado watch. Tornadoes? Really? We live in Central New York not the Central Plains. No matter. I have been down this […]

Becoming a different Mom

Sunday’s at the Rescue: the revolving door
So fellow travelers, it has been an unusually long stretch for me to be away from my volunteer dog walking. Freckles asking me “Hey Crazy Dog Lady where have ya been?” Changes in schedules as well as being down to just one vehicle for the foreseeable future has been challenging. The round trip drive […]

Moments in time
So fellow travelers, bit of a postscript to the Yaddo post…. When I am out and about shooting with my dslr camera, images capture my attention for various reasons. This shot of the mansion at Yaddo gave me a feeling of seeing into the past, as if catching a glimpse of it’s amazing history and hinting at […]

Yaddo
So fellow travelers, I am looking through my files from this weekend’s adventure. Last month during our lunch at the RoundHouse the idea of a day trip to Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga Springs came up. The main focus was for photography with tentative plans for a meal afterwards. I knew it would be well worth […]

Always near
So fellow travelers, we bid farewell to an Old Yankee Man this week. I say “we” because fellow farmie Lisa Dingle has shared him so graciously with us in her wonderful blog. I have been thinking of her and her family a great deal these days as they weather his passing together. This morning […]

On the Road to friends and high places: The Grand Finale Lyrics and Lunch
So fellow travelers, two more high points to reach on this weekend adventure. My friends and I were headed to Marigold Pizza for a delicious lunch, but before we left the beautiful grounds of Park-MacCullough House, I snapped a few shots of random things which caught my eye. […]
