Mr. ESB stepped in a giant pile of dog poo right in front of this place- Hence her reaction.

The Truth About Easter

Cochituate, Massachusetts

This year, some families in our neighborhood started a ridiculous lie about Easter.

They say the Easter bunny will arrive with baskets full of silly things like chocolate goodies and marshmallow candy shaped like poultry!!!

HA!! We know the REAL story at our house. Each year the Easter bunny arrives- drinking his beer and wielding his hair clippers- and all the boys and girls who were very, very good over the past year line up to proudly get their heads shaved.

Multi-tasking

Framingham, Massachusetts

We've been discussing the pros and cons of multi-tasking lately around the dinner table.

Regardless of how you feel about doing 5 things at the same time, you have to give some props to this guy- being paid by the hour to hold up a sign in the middle of traffic- at the same time finishing up that science fiction novel.

Pizza Guys Revisited

Coolidge Corner- Brookline, Massachusetts

I (kind of) got caught as I photographed the guys from The Upper Crust through the window on this month's visit.

When In Doubt...

Cochituate, Massachusetts

...walk out the kitchen door and take a photo of the dogwood tree.

Like I did last last spring.

Like I did last last fall.

I *AM* somebody...sort of.

Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts

lloyd Thayer used this photo I took in a wonderful article about him in The Boston Phoenix. Alas, no photo credit, but none-the-less they used it in their print version and on the web.

Puppies Grow Up

Unfortunately it's that time of the year in the dog rescue world.

Who Let The Dogs Out?!

Cochituate, Massachusetts

This was my going to be my dramatically stark, black and white landscape-ish photo of the fence pickets vs. the shadows. Then, um...a black and white blur appeared in the bottom of my view finder.

No Regrets

Cochituate, Massachusetts

We had our first "real" snowfall last night.

This morning I was happy that I had neglected the last weeding of the garden.

Winter Blues

Harvard Square- Cambridge, Massachusetts

I've been pulled in 37 directions since the first of the year and haven't had time for photography... Especially depressing because I have a beautiful new Pentax K100 that ESB bought me for Christmas sitting here aching to be used.

I dipped into the archives and found this shot of my pal lloyd Thayer and the president of his fan club. ;-) A little something to cure the winter blues...

Happy New Year!

Cochituate, Massachusetts

I'd like to send a big Happy New Year shout out to everyone who took the time in 2006 to visit this photoblog.

Thanks for letting me share a bit of my goofy little world with you.

Thanks to my hubby and all the writers and poets who stop by and leave wonderful comments and poems.

Also, thanks to all the fantastic photobloggers who stop by- Your comments and encouragement mean the world to me and your blogs are a source of inspiration and awe.

OK- Enough. This is starting to sound like an award acceptance speech... Must be the tiara that got me in this mood.

Where Is The Snow?

Cochituate, Massachusetts

I hate shoveling it, driving in it and walking the dog in it....So why am I so depressed about not having any snow in Boston yet this winter? This photo was taken a few winters ago.

A Well Rounded Chihuahua Owner

Bay Colony Dog Show- Boston, Massachusetts

The breed standard created by the American Kennel Club states that Chihuahuas should have "a well rounded apple-dome skull."

Stepford Wives

Boston, Massachusetts

Last weekend I met up with some dog rescue friends who were volunteering at an outreach booth at a big fancy dog show.

Being involved with rescue you learn to appreciate each individual, yet imperfect snowflake of a dog for exactly what they are. Most of which were badly bred or a mix of who-knows-who-your-daddy-was.

The whole idea of breeding dogs to look exactly alike kind of creeps me out.

Vigilant

Cochituate, Massachusetts

I'd really like to say that she's staring out that window waiting for me to come home.

Truth is, she's honed in on a squirrel's ass halfway up the tree outside the window.

Thank You!

Cochituate, Massachusetts

Wayland Boy Scout Troop 1 of Cochituate show their gratitude to the community for the outpouring of donations they received after the theft of 50 of their fund-raising Christmas trees.

Police report that someone stole $2000.00 worth of Christmas trees from the troop's tree stand next to the Methodist church late last Saturday night. Once the news got out, several area landscapers and nurseries donated new trees and local residents donated thousands of dollars to the troop.

The sale of the trees is the troop's only fund-raiser and it pays for various hiking and camping trips throughout the year.

Police have no solid leads in the case.

What kind of person sneaks up to a church and steals Christmas trees from Boy Scouts?!

Maybe it's funnier without the explanation.
