Harvest-Corn Moon at Jeness Beach, NH

We took a ride to see this gorgeous moon tonight....what a sight!!! The photographs do not do it justice.....I wish I had my 35mm Nikon and my Tripod like I did "way back when".....had a great night with Sandra and Nancy...chatted with folks who were walking their little dogs and families....the weather was perfect...we even went in for a quick swim.....great time to enjoy the moonlit beach. We'll hopefully be able to get in a few more of these nights before "old man Winter" sets in. Posted by Picasa

Scolly Square - Boston, Ma.

I used to love to take "street scene photographs" -- put the camera at 35 mm focal point and just shoot "from the hip"....he was peeling and preparing cabbage for sale....at the end of the day, Scolly Square is a "mess"......it's still there and much easier to get to as the central artery is "gone" for good.... Posted by Picasa
