I found this friendly vendor at a farmers market in Grenoble, on the same trip as the picture I posted last week.

This is from a 1983 trip to Switzerland and France. Lucerne’s iconic Kapellbrücke looms in the background.

Strangely enough, the snowy part of winter this year seemed to coincide almost exactly with the Winter Olympics. I’ve been enjoying walking in the woods by day and, notwithstanding the endless scandals and psychodramas, watching the Olympics at night. But as the games have faded away, so has the snow. I saw this melting stream while walking at Pegan Hill in Natick this week. It reminded me of an abstract painting.

This is what last weekend looked and felt like.

It was nice while it lasted.

Reaching way back for this one. Summer of 1970. A hot, crowded, noisy festival in Boston’s North End. I can still smell the greasy smoke wafting up from those grills. Mmm-mmm. I’ll take one with plenty of fried onions and peppers, arteries be damned.

The weather has been alternating between gloomy gray and bitter cold, with little or no snow to brighten things up – dismal conditions for outdoor photography. So I’ve been scrounging around in the cellar to see what I could dig up.

We got a pretty good shot of snow last week. Unfortunately (from my point of view), it didn’t last long.

Since we are having our first significant snowfall of the season here in the northeastern US today, how about a beach scene from Kauai?
