Timeout
This is Theodore executing, perfectly, a timeout. Notice in his left hand is his trusty sidekick, McQueen. I put these pictures up because they’re cute and they also reflect an illustration of behavior. If we…
Sunset Colored Trees
Looking in a southeasterly direction, the trees on the far shore reflect in the setting sun’s light.
Moon Beam
This picture is also looking out over Abrams Pond in Eastbrook, Maine. The shutter was open for a split second and therefore there’s a bit of a blur in this photo. Even so, it captured…
Twin Hug
Theodore leans forward to hug his sister Jacqueline while out on the dock at Abrams Pond.
Child support
Sometimes I think that us parents (I know I am guilty at times too) try to control too much. When someone else delivers a positive message to our kids that is received, perhaps more so…
Reflecting
It’s cool, it’s blue, this place of solitude Sit for a while, reflect, in this quiet place Notice things that normally get away Slow down, exhale, embrace this new pace
Oh my deer
These were taken 10 days apart. The top one was in the front yard this morning. The bottom one was from the backyard a week and a half ago. I have seen a few more…

#YOLO. You Only Live Once. This is one of today’s not-well-thought-out (if involving any thought at all) statements made by the youth of the day. Unfortunately this is not, carpe diem, live life to the…
Serenity
The porch is part of the main house. It’s finished. Wood flooring connects the open space to the living room and the kitchen. Eleven windows and a nearly full glass door wrap around the porch-living…
Remember when now was a memory?
Maybe it was the rain. Maybe it was the grey. Or maybe it was just that kind of day. Uneasy followed me closer than my own shadow. I tried forcing a smile while thinking…
Father’s Day
It’s Father’s Day today. One of my favorite days of the year really. I am fortunate to be a dad myself. Today isn’t about me though, it’s about my dad, and all the real dad’s…
Twins and green grass
Yesterday the twins and I made a stop at the airport as we often do. This time we went to a different location alongside a long runway that runs East-West. This place has a larger…
A Night at Alumni Field
Saturday night 19 of us (friends and family) made our way to Keene, NH for a night of fellowship, food, and collegiate summer league baseball. Oh, and yes there were fireworks at the end of…
Walk-Off Win

Cowboy hat
Aside from wanting to be a professional ball player, my second choice was to grow up and be a cowboy. Well, I am batting .000 on those careers, but maybe Theodore will take one of…
D-Day +68 (years)
When I woke up this morning the first thing on my mind was June 6, 1944. I thought about what the troops must have been feeling as their turn came to storm those French beaches.…
Rising Cloud
Emissions from Stonyfield Farm in Londonderry, NH join the cloud cover looking south from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
Pileated Woodpecker
Sometimes you just to have to look up.
Twin mariners
Elm Brook Park, Memorial Day, 2012 Thank you to the special group of individuals that make up our armed forces for the freedoms we enjoy so that we can take in moments such as these.…
Happy Hug
Yesterday I let the twins pick out their own socks. After several socks were put on, swapped, doubled up, and traded, this is what they ended up with. They thought that pants were not necessary…
Twin talk
This morning our two-year old twins were playing nicely and interacting peacefully with one another when the following dialogue occurred. First, just to quickly set the stage, Jacqueline was sitting on the couch playing with…
Manchester, NH
These pictures of Manchester, NH were taken while walking the Piscataquog Trail.
What do I see?
It’s worth at least a thousand words. Insert your own 1,000 words. Or, take in the pure innocence of our children and give clear direction to what their eyes see. Their eyes do see. Make…
Sunny, snow, rain, sleet shower
All at once the snow starting falling. Sleet was bouncing off of the side of the house. We could see it and hear it. Drops of rain were mixed in. Then the sun poked through,…
Scared of a cat
I took this quick picture of a pair of white-tailed deer that suddenly appeared on the little hill next to our house. I took this picture through the window with my smaller lens on the…
Not your typical NH winter
It’s the last week of February. Usually this means biting cold, penetrating winds, and plenty of snow and ice. Not his winter. We have experienced little snow, not much ice, and the winds have been…
Fresh snow and morning light
Good morning from New Hampshire. We received just about three inches of snow at our house overnight. Since the temperatures have been well below freezing, the snow is light, fluffy, particularly reflective, and blows around…
