Photo Week: On Collins Pond

The first kayak of the season was delightful, the G7 performed brilliantly in its underwater housing and the frogs posed nicely for their close ups on Collins Pond in Harold Parker State Park. See it a little bigger at The Photo Week.
Photo Week: Whale Watching

This week features a boating adventure out to see the whales in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The trips are different every time, but they are always sensational. No breeching this time around, but we were detained by a very curious humpback whale for quite some time! See it a little bigger and catch up on what you’ve been missing in the Photo Week Archives
Photo Week: Stevens-Coolidge Place

I took a moment to stop and visit the flowers this week at the Stevens-Coolidge Place here in North Andover. It was a little past prime but the colors, shapes, and sizes were still sensational. Take a peek at a slightly bigger image:

Canon 7d, ISO: 12,800 <----believe it!

Motion Thursday. This week features a trip to the local arena for two roller derby bouts. A great scene, great action, I do wish they’d just turn on the lights! See it bigger in the Photo Week Archives.
Photo Week: Chocolate Chip Cookies

A few months ago a friend of mine gave me a bottle of vodka and some vanilla beans to make my own vanilla extract. The concoction has spent the last three months in darkness with occasional agitation and this week I decided it was ready and done and broke it out for a batch of chocolate chip cookies! She swore to me that my extract would make the cookies noticeably better, and she’s right, they were UBER-tasty….and already gone! Check out the photo week archives.
Photo Week: Signs of Spring
Canon G7

The temperature is rising, the floods are over, the tree buds are popping, the tulips and daffodils are sprouting, lawnmowers (and in our case, chainsaws) are fired up, and the PEEPS are here! The signs of spring are here (and bigger here)
