Waimea Canyon Kauai I really like these pictures because they often surprise people who aren't familiar with Waimea. Even people who have been to Honolulu and/or Maui sometimes disbelieve this can be Hawaii. But it is - and it's beautiful. I've been to the Grand Canyon and while it is more "grand," this place is … [Read more...]

Honeymoon 2003
Honeymoon Kauai, Hawaii, Oahu May 27-June 8, 2003 Listen: I know you don't give a whit about my honeymoon. And really, you shouldn't. But these pages are for me (just like all these vacation pages). With 2 little kids now nine years later, we don't get to go on these kinds of trips anymore. So it's fun for me to … [Read more...]

230. Creative Arts Workshop Galleries
I Can’t Stop Crowing About This Place! CAW! CAW! New Haven (Google Maps location) December 5, 2010 I don’t really remember how this place got lost in the hundreds of places I’ve visited and tens of thousands of pictures I’ve taken. But it did. Actually, that’s not true. It got “lost” because I never really … [Read more...]

Nod Brook WMA
Zzzzzzz Nod Brook WMA, Avon & Simsbury May 2012 I originally wrote this in 2012 when Nod Brook was listed on the Simsbury Land Trust list of places to hike. Now it's 2019 I revisited to see if I'd missed anything. The roads into here are terrible, and... you don't care. Just read about this place I guess. Nod … [Read more...]
ASME: Hydromatic Propeller
ASME Landmark #149 (1938) Hamilton Standard Hydromatic Propeller New England Air Museum Windsor Locks In a way, this might be the hardest of the CT ASME landmarks to find. This is because it resides in the massive New England Air Museum and, let’s face it, isn’t exactly the draw to the museum. Not with 80 … [Read more...]
193. Berlin Agricultural Lions Museum
This is What A-Tractored Her To Me! Berlin (Google Maps location) October 3, 2010 This museum is open only at the Berlin Fair As many of you know, I’m not from these parts. In addition to not having grown up with town agricultural fairs (and frankly not really understanding their appeal), it has taken me many … [Read more...]
Polish Plate at Staropolska (Closed)
Great Place to Polish off a Meal Staropolska, New Britain After 30 years, Staropolska closed in 2024. Ah, New Britski. I could write several thousand words on New Britain’s Broad Street “Little Poland” area. I don’t know why it fascinates me so much, as I’ve been to plenty of neighborhoods with fairly … [Read more...]
