Swarm
Photography 101. I know this isn’t exactly a swarm, nor is it a group of things moving together, but it is a large group of animals hangin out together at Pier 39 in San Francisco.

Moment
Photography 101. For 15 consecutive years my visit(s) with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra have created too many ‘moments‘ to remember each and every one of them. Every year, I long for the time to stand still…
Architecture
Photography 101. This is simple architecture, but I kind of like it.
NH Avalanche 2000 – Turkey Tournament 1
Friday night the NH Avalanche 2000 team opened play in the Turkey Tournament 2014. The Avs drew a familiar opponent in the Seacoast Spartans. The game was played at the beautiful facility on the campus…
Family Parade
The sun dropped beneath the peaks while we were inside. The meal was good, we laughed til we nearly cried. Upon our return to the lit street aglow this night. I took in the scent…
NH Avalanche 2000 vs. Assabet Valley Patriots – Ice Den 2
Less than 24 hours after their first victory of the season the NH Avalanche 2000 team was back on home ice against the Assabet Valley Patriots. Just three weeks ago these teams met at the…
NH Avalanche 2000 @ East Coast Wizards – The EDGE Sports Center
I don’t know if this is similar or not but I am going to make a small correlation between writing and youth hockey. When I sit down at my keyboard to write, I often times do…
A Pop of Color
Photography 101. I took this photo with my phone, an LG-D415. It’s not the best quality but with the dark colors of moist leaves, the greys of smoke and steam, and the time of day,…
NH Avalanche 2000 Weekend November 15-16
This weekend the NH Avalanche 2000 team had a pretty full weekend playing two games on Saturday and another game Sunday morning. All three games were played at The Ice Den Arena in Hooksett, NH.
I am going to approach this recap a little bit differently I think. I am just going to list the results and then write about some points from the games and see how that goes.
The World Got it Right
I recently came across Caroline and her blog at Beautiful Life With Cancer. I don’t always agree with every word she writes, but mostly I do. She has an “in your face” style, and I…
Mystery
Photography 101. Who is this? What are they singing? One of my all-time favorites.
Warmth
Photography 101. A few rays from the sun find their way through the forest branches to warm the bark of this birch tree on a November afternoon in NH.
Deer Driveway
While looking at a deer that was grazing alongside our driveway this morning, Jacqueline asked me how old I thought the deer was. I said, “Oh it’s probably two years old.” She yelped loudly, “TWO YEARS…
Natural World
Photography 101. Trying something a little different. I have hundreds of wildlife photos, but wanted to try another approach. This is looking down an oak tree out behind my house.

Connect
Photography 101 This is one of my favorite photos ever posted to 1inawesomewonder. My late Aunt Janette had a very special ability to connect with others. This picture, to me, sums that up. I miss her…
Our Dear Marjorie
I was so happy to get home late last night. Mom and I made amazing time returning from an emotional afternoon spent in Woodstock, NB. We are so thankful for the opportunity we had to…
Remembering Veteran's Day
First, before I get to the thoughts swirling through my mind. Before I share excerpts from my last 24 hours. Before I thank all of those responsible for the opportunities afforded me in Canada yesterday.…

Due to recent events this week I am a little bit behind on these assignments. Today I am posting a picture from my archives in response to Solitude. I took this picture in Utah on…
God's Plan – A Tribute to Marjorie Leech (Peterson)
Somewhere around the world today there was another selfless soul born, of that I am pretty sure. And even with all the newborns today, there’ll never another Marjorie be.
I ended the phone call with …”my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.” As I promised I would, I dialed the number to my parents house and waited for Mom to answer. Usually, it’s been her making those dreaded calls to me, but tonight I had a message to pass on and an inkling that she already knew what I had just confirmed. She answered the phone and both of us seemed a bit scared to say the first words, knowing why each of us was on the line. I passed on the message I had promised to share and we talked about what we feared to be the case. Our dear, sweet Marjorie had passed, no more than an hour before.

Today in Photography 101 the theme for my photo is water. To me this scene is peaceful to look at and to listen too. This is Black Brook, the short river that runs near my house.…
By Heart – from The Daily Post
Today’s prompt from WordPress bloggers caught my eye…You’re asked to recite a poem (or song lyrics) from memory — what’s the first one that comes to mind? Does it have a special meaning, or is there another reason it has stayed, intact, in your mind?
Two songs came to mind this morning. The first was Seven Spanish Angels. The second song was our National Anthem.

In the foreground you’ll see there’s a street sign warning drivers that the bridge will freeze before the roadway. Further back you see the guard rail that keeps things from falling off of the bridge.…
