LATE OCTOBER IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS

All photos by Kaitlin Kraus, my delightfully talented granddaughter. These have not be processed. Since PhotoShop's last "update" I can't even figure out how to find the stuff I've always used. Kaity took these on her phone, so they were sent from her phone to me. I never liked what Adobe did to PS in … Continue reading LATE OCTOBER IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS

SITTING AND WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW PAST

Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge 2025-Week 24 I remembered this seat in Northfield. It was all about the fence. I loved the fence and all the people walking by, many with dogs. This isn't my local river. It's in Northfield, a college town not far from Minneapolis. By the river in Northfield, MN River … Continue reading SITTING AND WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW PAST

GARRY OUTSIDE – AND IT WASN’T RAINING (YET)

As the day wore on, it was easy to see the buildup of storm clouds. The sky was clear and then there were a few clouds. After that, bigger darker clouds showed up. It became a bit of a race to manage to get a few pictures before the rain started. Marilyn actually got a … Continue reading GARRY OUTSIDE – AND IT WASN’T RAINING (YET)

LIFE OUTSIDE THESE WALLS

I know that I have to be patient and wait for my head to stop hurting, for the dizziness to get less dizzy, for my eyes to line up in a more orderly way. I know. But we had some lovely weather and I wanted to at least enjoy a little of it. Yesterday morning, … Continue reading LIFE OUTSIDE THESE WALLS

NOVEMBER ALONG THE BLACKSTONE

Not a lot of time between the ending of the foliage and the start of winter. Well, there used to not be much time. Now, it's hard to tell. Today was a perfect day. Cool enough. Bright, sunny, clear. Lots of bright reflections. The leaves are pretty much gone. A few bright yellow trees remain … Continue reading NOVEMBER ALONG THE BLACKSTONE

THE VALLEY OF BRIDGES

In a watershed valley, getting from here to there inevitably requires using a bridge. You'd think we have a dozen rivers, but the twisting, meandering Blackstone and a couple of short tributaries seem to be everywhere at the same time. Thus we have many bridges, many of stone, others of steel and some worrisome and … Continue reading THE VALLEY OF BRIDGES

BLACKSTONE GORGE AND WILDFLOWERS

FOTD - AUGUST 8th - Wildflowers By the River There were some beautiful wildflowers in the gorge. This one looks like lilacs, but obviously isn't. If anyone knows what these are, let me know. Big white flowers. This might not be a wild bush but be a "transplant" via wind or birds from someone's garden

ENJOYING THE WATERSHED

My valley is full of rivers. Although it includes tributaries, this is the Blackstone Valley because the Blackstone River is everywhere. It winds down from the Worcester hills to its end in Newport, Rhode Island. Hard to say if they are creeks or smaller rivers, but lots and lots of water from tiny little streams, … Continue reading ENJOYING THE WATERSHED

KAYAKING ON THE BLACKSTONE

On a sunny weekend along the Blackstone River in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, we took pictures. I decided to make mine look a bit different. I'm playing with the impressionist filters, trying to get a painted feeling, yet still retain as much of the photographic details as I can. It's an interesting balance and I … Continue reading KAYAKING ON THE BLACKSTONE
