Bell Telephone Booth, Ontario, Canada


Amazing how something that 
used to be so common,
becomes an unusual attraction 
to the next generation.

Niagra Falls at Night

Niagra Falls at night...
the spotlights that light the falls.


Lit with just white...
I kind of like it that way.



This looks underwater to me!

Lansdale Bike Night

I never saw so many motorcycles in one place!
The nearby town of Lansdale 
held its annual Bike Night
which benefits the Boy Scouts.
(Two thumbs up for that!)


I just learned about this event this year, 
probably because I am not in the 'biker crowd.'
Instead, my photo club went to it 
for a photo outing.


This event is HUGE! 
Main Street was closed for blocks 
and lined with bikes
of every make, style and era.


All the side streets were filled as well
as the public parking lot by the train station
as thousands converged into Lansdale
for the biggest bike event on the East coast!


We did experience a brief shower beforehand 
as you can see from the photos, 
but the rest of the night was dry and pleasant.

More of my Lansdale Bike Night photos are here.

Niagra Falls

Our summer road trip through New York State
took us all the way to Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada.



Everyone always says the falls are better on the Canadian side,
and that is because you can see them fall.
On the American side,
you are mostly behind the waterfalls.



I was fascinated with the color of the water
in the Niagra River.
The water is a lovely blue-green,
which is unusual for me.
Where I am from, the
Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers
look rather brown.



Below is one of my favorite photos from the falls.
Standing right next to them,
you feel the spray,
hear the roar,
and see the speed at which the water approaches the falls.
It is really quite impressive.


My son was so impressed with the force of the falls, 
he refused to go kayaking the rest of vacation:
anytime, anywhere.
Even when we were below the falls!


I was always ambivalent about going to Niagra Falls.
But it was worth the trip...
especially once we escaped the tacky, touristy stuff nearby 
(where I refused to spend a dime)
and found Niagra-on-the-Lake.


More falls photos are here.
More to come.

Kitty in the Window

I love this. 
The open window...


The kitty watching the world go by...


On a lazy summer day. 


Photographed in the village of 
Hammondsport, New York
