In and out
I took this picture of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge (see map below the image here) because it symbolizes a couple of things: (1) coming and going: We crossed this bridge many times, and will do so … Continue reading →
waiting for the sunset
Taken on Sunday at the Fells Reservoir (see map below the image here). This is a 2 minute exposure done with the new Satechi timer, which works beautifully! I didn’t get to see an actual sunset because of all the … Continue reading →

I took this one close to Bound Brook Pond (see map below the image here), which is a great location for observing dragonflies: within ten minutes we saw three species along a five meter long stretch of lake shore. Fortunately, … Continue reading →

Taken at 6 a.m. last Saturday on the shore at Halibut Point State Park. I had planned to catch a sunrise there, but only saw hints of sunlight piercing through the clouds where a bright, fiery ball was supposed to … Continue reading →
Hello
Another Lomo scan from our hike on the Blue Hills Reservation. I like it when photo opportunities present themselves out of nowhere, like this pooch, which had to check out what I was doing before hopping off again a second … Continue reading →
