My declaration of being back from vacation was a bit premature - I spent most of this week with a killer cold. Mmmm... summer cold, during the hottest days of the year so far. Lots of fun!
Finally catching up a bit today - I've imported all of my vacation photos, so I'll have fresh blog fodder for a little while. This one was taken in Boston, near the Aquarium, I think.
Since our trip to New Orleans last year, I've been collecting photos of utility pipe covers and manhole covers. I think the appeal for me is related to my love of making quilts from a collection of similar but not identical blocks.
This was taken in Pittsburgh, last Labor Day weekend, while I was visiting my pal Jen.
I spent Labor Day weekend in Pittsburgh, with my two best pals, Jen and Donna, their husbands (both Scott), and Jen's kids Logan and Brenna. After a fabulous birthday brunch for Jen on Sunday, we took a stroll through the hip neighborhood. A lot of the stores were closed, but it was still fun to window shop.
So far, everything I've posted here has been older work, that has been scanned from slides or negatives that span the last twenty years. I'm going to mix it up a bit for the next couple of weeks while we are on vacation. Starting with this image, I'm going to post some of my newer images that were taken with my digital SLR. I'll get back to the archival stuff in the New Year; I have lots of it to get through, and that was part of my goal in starting the blog.
