Rounding Out May

Two similar photos of crashing waves, shot 32 years apart.

Little Dick's Bay, British Virgin Islands- May, 1984

Lighting up the Blog

 Spent a wonderful time in Maine last weekend, visiting grandson Asher who lights up a room, shooting area lighthouses (alas the Portland Headlight which I last photographed in August 2006, was covered in scaffolding).  Cindy added a shot by a colleague, Dan Moore, of the altar at St. Peter's Basilica, the design of which allows light from a nearby stainglass window to illuminate the altar in a bath of gold light.

Rome, Italy- February, 2016

Fun fact- this cupola like structure, St. Peter's baldachin, by Bernini marks the spot directly above the tomb of St. Peter.

Fog in the Cloud

Pawling, NY- May, 2016 

With Cindy's laptop still on the mend, she has been using a Chromebook where she stores photos awaiting their turn on the blog in the cloud.

A Cat(a)combs (of) Rome

Rome, Italy- February, 2016

photo by Daniel Moore

Could we be referring to the Catacombs of Rome or the thousands (estimated 300,000) of feral cats that comb the city of Rome? There is actually a huge cat sanctuary under the street at Torre Argentina - the location where Julius Caesar was murdered.  This fellow was photographed at the Coliseum 

Lee, MA in Pawling, NY

Pawling, NY- May, 2016

Well, so far, the entire month of May has been in any given combination, rain, fog, showers, clouds and drizzle.  Not conducive for photography.  Never outdone, the photographer took to creating photobooks.  Walgreens is the go-to for this endeavor.  These shots were taken in Lee, MA in October, 2011 and they've been incorporated into the new compilation  Sunrise, Sunsets and more...  Today's blogpost is a picture of a page in the book, ergo the title "Lee, MA in Pawling, NY"  

Nice Sunsets

 Nice, France - February, 2016

A little local color:

Pawling, NY- November, 2015

Eztasy in France

 Eze, France- February, 2016

Èze has been described as an Eagle's nest because it sits 1401 feet above (Mediterranean) sea level

The Jardin Botanique d'Èze boasts quite the array of cacti and succulents

Now the photographer would never bother trying to shoot on such a dreary day, but I brought along my own color

Fish for Dinner

Vero Beach, FL- March, 2016

Must have been a Friday during Lent when this osprey caught his own dinner.
