“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Martin Luther King Jr. The Denver Post estimated 30,000 people attended the protest, and other crowds in smaller cities and towns across Colorado, and more, one news source said seven million in all, from coast to coast. Hundreds with signs,Continue reading “No Kings, Denver”

Sailing on the Mystic
I stayed the night at an inn in Mystic. A beautiful blue sky awaited as I walked into town, watching the shop owners open their doors, getting ready for the day. I had one more activity planned before driving back to Cape Cod; to go sailing! When I booked the two-hour ride weeks before, IContinue reading “Sailing on the Mystic”
Into the Mystic
A couple of hours drive west of Cape Cod, along the Atlantic coast, lies the town of Mystic, Connecticut, on the Mystic River. For those who haven’t lived near there or studied maritime history, it may be best known as the setting of a 1980s rom-com (romantic comedy) movie called Mystic Pizza or the themeContinue reading “Into the Mystic”
Provincetown again
During this September trip to Cape Cod, I stayed a night in Provincetown. It’s the liveliest, most interesting town on Cape Cod, at the farthest point, where the tip curves around as if beckoning you in. Recommended by a friend I had met traveling, I lodged at an inn at the far end of theContinue reading “Provincetown again”
Around the Cape
A Cape Cod stay is an opportunity to drive around and explore the peninsula. At the end of this visit, I spent a night in Provincetown. On the way back, I stopped at the Highland Lighthouse, in North Truro, on the Atlantic coast. A plein air outdoor painting class was in progress and canvases andContinue reading “Around the Cape”
Wandering Cape Cod again
September is a good time to visit the Cape. The crowds are gone, restaurants are still open, and it’s surprisingly still quite warm. The sun lit my days for a week and a half, rain only the last few days, morning fog adding a little mystery to the cemetery across the street. A kind friendContinue reading “Wandering Cape Cod again”
North of Taos
The Taos Pueblo people have lived in northern New Mexico for more than one-thousand years. The pueblo is a sovereign Native American nation inside the United States, still inhabited by members of the Tiwa tribe. Its well-kept, multi-story adobe structures are attractive and distinctive. Artisan studios and shops show their handcrafted works, open to visitorsContinue reading “North of Taos”
Art of Taos
I headed south to New Mexico, a road trip before the summer events in my little town got in full swing. The desert-colored adobe buildings and its vibrant artist community, similar to Santa Fe yet much smaller and less expensive, steep the area in a warm welcoming atmosphere. For centuries an area of trade betweenContinue reading “Art of Taos”
Denver Pride 2024
Denver celebrated its fiftieth anniversary of Denver Pride this June with a weekend of activities, culminating in the parade last Sunday. I had to go! An estimated 100,000 people had the same idea. Ten years ago, I took part in a Pride parade in Toronto. In 2014, Canada hosted the International World Pride festival. IContinue reading “Denver Pride 2024”
Grand Canyon West and a new year
In November, I spent a few days in Las Vegas, not one of my favorite places, for a Canadian niece’s wedding. In the campy, yet classic, White Chapel, they were married by an Elvis impersonator, a fun choice to experience the eccentricity and glitz of Vegas. I was happy to be their photographer. We didn’tContinue reading “Grand Canyon West and a new year”
