The Kissing Arches

Legend has it that in the days of old when male and female dormitories where segregated on opposite sides of the campus lovers would meet, greet, and say goodnight at these arches because the boys were not allowed on the south side of campus. The blooming cherry blossoms on the south side are eye catching.

Twisted Ol' Tree


I was walking around the Univ of Del campus with my camera taking in the arrival of Spring when I came across this twisted ol’ tree. As you make a complete circle around the base of the tree you can’t help but wonder how or why it is the way it is. I can only speculate…

Bad Ad!!!

Need I say anything more?

Even if I had the misfortunate of being afflicted with this ailment I’d pick a different doctor on principle. The “o” in Proctology is an ass. I took it through the windshield of the car while speeding down the highway on the approach to JFK Airport in NYC. Not my best piece of work but its been gnawing at me all day.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

I had way too many pictures to choose from tonight. I choose this because I'm surprised it came out as well as it did. This is the big HD video screen/score board at the new stadium. It cost ~$300,000,000 for all the electronics in centerfield. They had some operational challenges in that they blew-up the PA system in the 4th inning. Food deliveries were an absolute disaster. We ordered 2 sandwiches, fries, and drinks at the bottom of the first. An hour later, in the 5th inning it arrived without fries. Complained to 1/2 a dozen people and we were still waiting for our fries when the game ended with the Yanks dominating the Cubs 10-1.

Got Tickets?

Four field level box tickets to the new Yankee Stadium thanks to the generosity of a co-worker. Game 2 at the new stadium is an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs. All I have to say is LET’S GO YANKEES!

Niagara Nights

The American Falls at night with a 15sec exposure. A plane traversing the night sky created the streak.

The Forbidden City

Not long ago I was fortunate enough to visit Beijing China and I came home with over a thousand pictures but this is one of my favorite photographs taken just before dusk.
