I went in to Boston yesterday to have lunch with an old friend, and afterwards found myself wandering around Boston’s famous fruit and vegetable market. I did one pass through just for photos, and second one through to actually buy stuff. And by stuff, I mean everything my arms could possibly carry before breaking off [...]
We sat in the small park surrounding this statue for nearly an hour, just watching the passersby and listening to the live jazz from the bar behind us. It couldn’t even be called a park really. Just a shady gathering of benches around a statue that we loved. The late afternoon sunlight pouring through the [...]
I didn’t whip out the ol’ picture taker as much as I would have hoped whilst in New Orleans but I did manage to snap a few gems between DSLR and the handy little point n’ shoot.
Saturday found me, the husband, and my parents (visiting for the weekend) in Rockport, Mass. It was a blissful afternoon of wandering one of the North Shore’s loveliest seaport towns and these are my favorite shots from the day. I really need to make a point of getting out and about with my camera more [...]
Not much time for a thoughtful post today. The holidays are about spending time with family, not blogging (in my book). But alas, I can’t give up on a challenge. Especially not when I’ve come this far. Just wanted to quickly to share this photo I took yesterday of my leftovers sandwich. The best leftovers [...]
I know it was just a couple months ago that we got back from our honeymoon in Kauai but it’s not hard to miss PARADISE when the weather is starting to move from chilly to just really f-ing cold and you’re trying to save money on your gas bill because you’ve never HAD a gas [...]
I know I’ve waxed poetic here in the past about New Orleans, one of my favorite cities in all the world, but lately it’s been on my mind a lot. For one thing, we’re already thinking ahead to Jazz Fest for next year. This time, we want to recruit more friends and family to come [...]
I’ve decided to do a little Friday mini-series here on the spotted duck for NaBloPoMo called Friday dreams, where we take a moment to virtually travel to some lovely place in the world. Just ’cause. {Le Grand Saut, by Elliott Erwitt} A couple weeks ago my parents went to Paris for their 25th wedding anniversary [...]
Hi friends and strangers. Time to continue our journey back through the wonderfulness that was my wedding, six long weeks ago (it feels more like six months!). These wedding recap posts are incredibly slow coming, I know, but you should count yourself LUCKY because we haven’t even started the thank you notes yet, which for [...]
Well, we finally got to see the full set of professional photos from our wedding this week and can I just say? They are phenomenal. The response so far from our family and friends has been overwhelming. People love them. They’re making people cry, if you can believe it. And what’s more, they’re making people [...]
