Mothers

Taken a few years ago, this is a photo of my mom with her mother and sisters (all moms themselves). Maybe it's not the best picture in the world, but I like it. =)

Photo Friday: Mother

I'd already submitted the above link when I thought of a few more photos that apply. Here is a more recent photo of my Mom and another of my sis & her daughter. Also, there's this photo of the famous Make Way for Ducklings statues in Boston's Public Garden.

Too many choices .. and only one link per challenge! lol

More from the Fair ..

I did a little write up of my weekend over at my blog. There are a few photos over there that are different than the ones I'm posting here. All of the following are from the Central Square World's Fair, Cambridge, Mass., 25 July 2004. :)


"Corner Musicians"


"Rubyhorse Singer"


"Bubbles, bubbles .."


"Rubyhorse Guitar Player


Middle East Restaurant and Club (close up)

My digital tends to take wider shots than what I see before me. I don't know if that makes sense, or if I'm describing it correctly, but I've noticed that I must crop many of my shots in order to present it the way I saw it. I'm not sure how to fix this yet. Maybe with more practice, I'll be able to figure it out. :)

"Dancing in the Square," Central Square, Cambridge, 25 July 2004

It was a good weekend although events did not unfold the way I'd originally envisioned. Luckily, Plan B was just as good.
My Baker's Dozen ...

* "You're still going to pick blueberries ..?"
* Last minute shopping trip resulting in pants that fit
* Viewing Party Saturday night with most of the usual crew, treats a plenty, in the sauna that is Digger's condo
* Watching the Farscape wrap (2002) on DVD and sharing in the shock and sadness with the cast & crew all over again then smiling to myself during the Save Farscape ads and cast interviews
* Making popcorn
* Hearing Rubyhorse for the first time
* Watching dance troupe Collage and the spontaneous, costumed dancers in the street
* Soft-serve ice cream and caramelly drinks
* The bubble gun lady in the funny, pink hat, blowing/shooting her bubbles from the stage into the audience
* Walking up and down Mass. Ave. for a good two hours
* Having to decide between making the last train home or seeing my friend play in his band
* Realizing that I didn't have enough for a cab ride home and so I would miss The Slackers show once again

Wednesday Snap entry for this week's (well, technically, last week's, I guess) theme Music: Playing an Instrument is up over at my fotolog.

Not a Photo But ..

It's not a photo, but it is visual and, although now a gif, was originally a photograph. :)

So .. without further ado .. Gigi & me ..

.. What do Mayflowers bring? Pilgrims!

"Rock Wall," Plymouth, MA, 17 July 2004

An impromtu day trip to Plymouth leads to a wealth of photographs over the weekend. lol

1. Forgot to put on sunscreen *before* I went out in the sun .. *g*
2. Fish that melts in your mouth *vbg*
3. Raspberry ice cream with raspberry truffles and chocolate chips .. yum!
4. A pirate's life for me .. Yo Ho!
5. me: It's like every coastal New England town near the Cape .. by the water, quaint shops, Plymouth Rock, Mayflower ..

6. Fresh fish loaded on the docks .. and fish tails peeking out from the bins ..
7 Ambulane & Fire Engine over at the Lobster place .. Hope everyone was okay .. Glad we didn't go there to eat
10. 20 minutes each way from the bridge to the end of the rock wall .. =)
11. me: Don't lean over the edge!
m. (ponting): There's a hill .. See?
me (cautiously peeking over): Wow, it looked like a straight drop from back where I was .. um, let's use the stairs ...
12. Salt water taffy :D

.....
Also, my Photo Friday entry is up. This week's theme is "Ocean" .. very fitting considering where I was on Saturday.

Also from the July 4th parade, one of the Krazy Klowns broke away to serenade the onlookers before rejoining his troupe marching up Washington Street.

Happy Fourth of July!

Welcome

Welcome to my photo blog, and a Happy Fourth of July to the 'Mericans. :)

I've been inspired by the photo journals out on the web and, after answering my first Photo Friday challenge (Father), decided to start my own web log of photographs.

My intent is to make myself use my cameras more (whether it's the 35mm, the digital, or the DV) and to share, each day, some of the results. I've extended an invitation to my sisters to join me here, sharing their photos as well. Perhaps once in awhile, I'll scan one of my Dad's old pictures and share that as well (if he gives his permission).

Anyway, without further ado ..
