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”
Georgetown Christmas Market
My small historic mountain town in the Rockies knows how to celebrate holidays. Georgetown, Colorado’s Christmas Market, held the first two weekends of December each year, often places in the top ten as best holiday market in the country, despite competing with large cities around the United States. There are lots of visiting vendors andContinue reading “Georgetown Christmas Market”
Cape Cod beach walking
The first time I visited Cape Cod, two years ago in 2021, I stayed at a place more centrally located on the cape, Yarmouth Port. I wandered the villages and beaches on the Atlantic coast, as well as a few other interesting spots (see below for links). Falmouth is on the southwestern point of theContinue reading “Cape Cod beach walking”
Newport Cliff Walk
Looking for an interesting day trip from Cape Cod, I decided to check out Newport, Rhode Island. Newport is well known for hosting the America’s Cup, an international sailing regatta, the Newport Jazz Festival, and massive mansions. An upscale hangout for the rich and famous, those that can afford yachts and mansions, considered summer cottages,Continue reading “Newport Cliff Walk”
Monomoy
Back on Cape Cod, I found a new place to explore. Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge is a group of small islands off the southeast corner of Cape Cod, off the elbow, if you picture the Cape as a flexed arm. The street that leads to the refuge is Wikis Way, but the street sign wasContinue reading “Monomoy”
Boston waterfront
In my wanderings around Boston to follow the Freedom Trail and visit art musems, I walked. The distance to the waterfront was a little further, and in eighty degree (F) heat, it seemed like a good idea to take mass transit in one direction. I was staying at a bed and breakfast in Back Bay,Continue reading “Boston waterfront”
