What If We Went to Italy : This year was a special birthday for my wife and we decided to celebrate in Italy. We spent four days in Rome as two day bookends to a rental villa in Tuscany. We drank wonderful wine and ate the magnificent food of Italy in general and Tuscany is particular. Join us. I will add to this gallery over the coming weeks as we have a lot of images to share.

Monhegan Island, Maine : Monhegan Island

Earlier this month we drove from the Cape up to Maine’s mid coast. Our destination was Port Clyde where we had reservations on the 10:30 AM boat to Monhegan Island. The trip, under cloudy skies, took about an hour. The seas were choppy but bearable and our companions on the boat were “BIRDERS”	 easily identified by their binoculars and bird identification books.

A friend of mine had sent me some material a few years ago which spoke of Monhegan Island and we were off to see if the island lived up to the description. 

Monhegan lies about ten miles off the Maine coast. It is about a mile long and a mile and a half long. There are some 75 year round residents on the island mostly folks in the fishing industry and artists. During the summer there are a lot of day trippers and this weekend there were a good number of birders. We were about a week early in terms of the island being completely open but the two ‘general’ stores provided the essentials and a few restaurants were open. We stayed in an apartment (Brackett’s Oar House) which was delightful. It was clean and cozy and located right on a small beach facing Manana Island. 

The light on Monhegan is wonderful which perhaps explains the number of artists on the island. We want to go back and prepare early for sunrise shots from the hill near the lighthouse and keeper’s house which is now a museum.

All in all this is a wonderful place.

Rockport : When the kids were a lot younger we used to rent a room (#14) at the Good Harbor Beach Inn in Gloucester/Rockport, MA. The Inn is right on the beach and we would get up early with a cup of coffee and walk the beach. At night, as the day would draw to a close we would walk the beach again.  We went there in good times and bad and somehow this special place made the world seem brighter. Barb and I went up to Rockport for a day trip this week (3/31/06) and it is still beautiful. We'll go back again this spring and I'll add to the Gallery. In the meantime--enjoy!

Arizona--Ft. Bowie : Ft Bowie is in southern Arizona. It was first created in 1862 in an effort to protect Apache Pass and the water source at Apache Spring from the Apaches. Between 1862 and 1866, Fort Bowie served as the nerve center for military campaigns against hostile Chiricahua Apaches led first by Cochise and then by Geronimo. The fort closed in 1894 and there is not much left. To get to the ruins requires a 1 1/2 mile trek but it is well worth the effort. There is a stillness at the ruins that touches you and you can close your eyes and only imagine...........

Arizona--Gammons Gulch : Gammons Gulch is the result of a man's vision and hard work. It is near Benson, Arizona and is filled with old cars and trucks and other wonderful things that are a real walk through history. Tombstone is nice and Old Tucson is too but Gammons Gulch is the real deal.

Arizona House 2006 : This is a beautiful house in Hereford, Arizona which is a bit south of Sierra Vista. We have rented this house for the month of February 2006 and I sit today (2/12/06) looking at the big snow falling on Cape Cod and being very grateful to be here. The house is a dream with a roof that allows one to climb high for a 360 degree view of the mountains surrounding this home.
