Stopped along the side of the road in Sonoma Valley’s Healdsburg to look at the grapes. It was amazing how laden the vines are.

Near the Prudential Center in Boston is this wonderful spiral fire escape. The owners decided to feature it with bright red paint in contrast to the muted tones of the rest of the building.

During our goodbye to Eric as he begins his college years and we head home. An historic moment for Sarah and me.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute – tomorrow is Eric’s first day.

In front of the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, Mass. Looking straight up a lamppost to get this abstract form.

Eric leaves for college tomorrow, and Kevin is off to stay with his aunt for a few days. This was taken during the goodbye. A special photo for me because of the time and subject.

I love water – it becomes absolutely magical when frozen in time. This is hose water shot at 1/2000th of a second, any faster and there was motion blur. It was tough picking the best shot, after my first pass I narrowed it down to about 50. I like this one because it looks like alien dancers being formed from the stream of water.

Though he looks very contemplative, Eric is actually playing the drums and focused completely on that.

Processed a lot in Adobe Lightroom.

Taken from the “east bench” where many climbers begin their ascent of Flatirons 2, one of three beautiful rock formations on the edge of Boulder, CO. This climber (not me!) is planning his route.
