I so very apologize for the disappearing act. I was just saying today how much I dislike the classic, “Oh, I haven’t written in such a long time excuse…” I can’t use that because I actually have been posting blog posts, just not here. Do you want to know where? Check this out: Gaulard.com That’s [...]

A Beautiful Spring Day
December 25, 2012 By
Re-post from my other blog. Written years ago. A few days ago was the first day of Spring 2010. It was absolutely beautiful weather. I would say it was in the lower 70s and the humidity was low. For Connecticut, that’s pretty good. It can get humid fast around here. I did a little playing [...]

Visiting Palm Coast, Florida From Hartford, Connecticut
November 17, 2012 By
Last weekend, we decided to take a quick trip to Palm Coast, Florida. On Saturday, we made all the reservations we needed and on Tuesday, we were in the air. Amazing what one can do with the internet these days. I want to give a quick rundown and semi-review of what we experienced during this [...]
Autumn Apple Picking In Connecticut
October 15, 2012 By
Well, we made it out to our sometimes annual apple picking event. This year, we went to Belltown Orchards in South Glastonbury, CT. Belltown probably has the nicest orchard I’ve ever been to. It’s clean, the apples are in great shape, there’s a large variety and the entire place is well run. We had a [...]
Pictures of the Purple Aster Flower
October 13, 2012 By
I am not sure if this is a Purple Aster or a New England Aster. There is some debate about this and it’s not like the internet helps in these types of things. I mean, if I look one or the other up, all I find are pictures posted by people like me, who don’t [...]
Nice October Moon
October 11, 2012 By
We all know Halloween is just around the corner. It’s time for all those outdoor activities that were just too hot to do in the heat of Summer. I’ve had some pretty good Halloweens in my day, so this year should really be no different. Here, check them out: Halloween Dinner at the River Tavern [...]
Up-Close Grasshopper Pictures
October 11, 2012 By
I know I’ve already posted a photo or two of our neighborly grasshopper, but just recently, we had an opportunity to gather a few more. Since they are indeed nice pictures, I figured I would go out on a limb and show off a few more. It seems like this grasshopper likes the front door. [...]
Beautiful Late Summer Flower Photographs
October 9, 2012 By
I’m going to post a nice gallery of later Summer flower photos. Some of these are a bit redundant, but the flowers look great nonetheless. I’m not sure of the names of some of these flowers. I do know some, but not all. For the ones I don’t know, I’ll simply describe them best I [...]
Early Autumn Hummingbird Photographs
October 8, 2012 By
To keep with the theme of uploading our boatload of photos, I thought I’d post some recent Hummingbird pictures we grabbed a few weeks ago. These pictures are pretty cool. If I haven’t mentioned before, I’ll do so now – taking pictures of Hummingbirds can get a little addictive. I think it has to do [...]
Late Summer and Early Autumn Insect Pictures
October 7, 2012 By
The following photos were taken in late Summer and early Autumn. That’s actually just a guess, but I’m pretty sure it’s accurate, seeing we have about a zillion more photos to go through and the timeline starts way back. In the next few posts, I am going to be putting up some nice insect shots, [...]
Mountain Laurel With Spider Web – Night Pictures
October 7, 2012 By
Since I had the camera in my hand a few nights ago (remember the moth pictures?), I decided to head outside with it. I didn’t have to go far before I saw something interesting. It was one of those warm Autumn nights. Kind of humid. I guess the spiders were active because when I got [...]
Moth On Window at Night
October 7, 2012 By
I’ve been coming across some really interesting photos lately. Or should I say, “we” have been coming across some interesting photos lately. I have taken a few, but she…SHE has been remarkable with the camera. As I sit at my desk working, I see her roaming around the property snapping pics of this and pics [...]
Working Through the Sharps and Flats
August 21, 2012 By
I am pretty excited right now. For weeks, I have been looking ahead in the material and had this sinking feeling that something terrible was on the horizon. I think it was those sharps and flats I told you about yesterday. Well, as it turns out, they aren’t so bad after all. They are actually [...]
Butterflies In Our Butterfly Garden
August 21, 2012 By
Today we have some remarkably good photographs of two different types of Butterfly. One is the “American Lady Butterfly” (my favorite) and the other is the “Viceroy Butterfly.” You’re probably more familiar with the Viceroy Butterfly because I think it’s more common to see them flying around the area. But if you look closely at [...]
Guitar Sharps, Flats & Naturals
August 20, 2012 By
I have great news – I am officially moving on to the Sharps, Flats and Naturals section of Session 4 in Gibson’s Learn & Master Guitar. This is pretty exciting because it means that I am comfortable with everything up until this point, which was a lot. Now, I’ve heard that it’s quite common to [...]
