THE SUNDAY STROLL

Albuquerque, NM - My wife and I were sitting down the Old Town section of Albuquerque and this car came cruising by. You know me, camera in hand I snapped a few quick photos.

CHURCH STEEPLES OF CAMDEN AND WISCASSETT MAINE

Wiscassett and Camden, ME - When I was walking around Camden and Wiscassett I saw many church steeples but the churches were obsucured by trees, which is not a bad thing, so I was able to get a a few photos of these beautiful steeples. I was also able to get photos of some of the churches.

A DAY ALONG THE BANTAM RIVER

Litchfield, CT - Today my wife dropped me off at the Bantam River in Litchfield to do a little kayaking while she had to do some things a few towns away

There were a few people on the river with their kayaks. These two women were out enjoying the day.


No these people are not walking on water, they are walking over the swamp on a wooden walkway. This part of the Bantam River and this pond, Little Pond, are part of the White's Woods Conservation area.



Hot Babes
As I passed these women while they taking a break one of them asked if I would like a pretzel, I explained that I had to get back to the pick up spot where my wife would be waiting for me. Just as I passed them I saw a few bluebirds, so I stopped to see if I could get a photo. They flew away before I was able to get the photo so I went back and asked if they would not mind if I took their photo. One of them said that if I was late just tell your wife that I stopped to take a photo of some hot babes...that is exactly what I did.

OVER MATCHED

Man pummels child...just kidding. This is a father playing with his son. He was just lightly tapping the jousting stick. This was an attraction at the Granville Harvest Fair.

WHAT DO THESE PHOTOS HAVE IN COMMON?

...photos from my vacation. I spent the last week in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Dallas, Texas. I have to travel to Florida on business this week but I promise to show more photos of my vacation in the future. Of course, I will be posting New England photos too. While in Albuquerque I attended three days of the Balloon Fiesta so you know there will be a lot of those as well as other interesting things I saw and photographed.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN...

I will be on the road again for the next few weeks so I won't be able to post; but will have some interesting photos when I get back.

I will leave you with this years collection of scarecrows at the GRANVILLE HARVEST FAIR which is still going on over the Columbus Day weekend.
