7/21/19 Garden in the Woods
Once again, I am back at Garden in the Woods. This time I visited with a local friend that had not been before. We both took a number of photos, including a few of some very photogenic frogs.
6/16/19 Garden in the Woods
I had another free Sunday, so I decided to head over to Garden in the Woods once again. The weather this time was not as bright and sunny as usual, and there had been a bit of rain. Perfect for a quite afternoon observing the details.
6/8/19 Boston
My sister was in town this weekend on her way up to New Hampshire, so we decided to head into Boston to show her around town. We started in Chinatown and then walked up the Rose Kennedy Greenway to the North End. After getting some cannolis we rode the red line up to Harvard Square and walked around campus. Of course, I took pictures along the way.

6/8/19 Garden in the Woods
Another month, another trip to Garden in the Woods!
5/26/19 Mere Point
On our way down from Acadia we stopped at Mere Point for a more quiet kind of relaxation. We spent some time on the water, and got to see an amazing sunset.
5/25/19 Acadia
Every year for Memorial Day weekend we travel up to Acadia and spend some time camping. We take kayaks, bikes, and whatever else we can fit in the car and take in everything Acadia has to offer. This year’s trip was a bit shorter than usual, but we still had a great time.
5/20/19 Carolina Raptor Sanctuary
Due to an unexpected flight delay, we found ourselves wandering about Charlotte for the day, looking for something to keep us busy. We ended up at the Carolina Raptor Sanctuary. This small facility takes in injured birds of prey and rehabilitates them. They have a number of such animals on display as well, offering a unique chance to see many magnificent birds. After wandering the grounds we also explored some of the neighboring conservation land. Unfortunately, it was too hot to really enjoy much of the outdoors, so in the end we got ice cream and headed for the airport.
5/18/19 US National Whitewater Center
For my birthday this year my wife decided to take me down to the US National Whitewater Center. I knew immediately it would be a great time. I have been paddling for years, so the chance to try this kind of course was very exciting. I rented a boat and paddled it for a couple of hours each day. It really took a lot out of me, but I had a great time. Beyond the whitewater, the center also has many other fun activities. We had a great time trying out deep water soloing, zip lining, and the high ropes course. We didn’t even have a chance to try the mountain biking, so we will definitely be back another time.
5/11/19 Garden in the Woods
This year I decided to get a membership to the Garden in the Woods in Framingham. We have visited this local establishment in the past and enjoyed the wide variety of plants and flowers. This time did not let me down. The small delicate spring flowers were in full bloom, and a number of other plants were chasing them out of the ground. To top it all off, the weather was wonderful.
4/28/19 Charles River Paddling
The spring this year brought some extremely high water to the Charles River, ideal for exploring it’s wetlands by boat. We paddled from the Rt 27 bridge upstream to Dover Rd. The wildlife was everywhere, cleverly dealing with the extremely high water.
After our paddle I also made a stop by the Medfield State Hospital to walk around and take some more photos. It was pretty interesting, and a little creepy too.
