A few weeks ago I went down to the foot of Ohio Street in Buffalo, near its southern terminus at Fuhrmann Boulevard, near the Outer Harbor. My main purpose was to do some shooting of the amazing graffiti that adorns the Ohio Street overpass (I’ll feature that work in a future post, though I’ve already posted the images to Flickr), but as I was there some railroad activity. The overpass carries Ohio Street over the rail lines that service the cargo areas near the big grain silos downtown, a remnant of what once was in terms of freight transport inDown the rabbit hole….

The Wife’s surgery the other morning was a very early one: we had to be at the surgical center by 6am, which meant a 5am alarm. Ugh. But when we got to the surgical center, I looked up at the still-night sky, not even starting to show the first hints of early dawn, and I saw him: Hello, Hunter! It’s been a while, and it’s good to see you again. Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

We have a mulch bed with a bush in it right outside our front door, and in recent years, milkweed has taken up residence there. Many folks would rip out the milkweed, but not us! We know it’s a haven for pollinators and for Monarch butterfly caterpillars. (See two years ago!) We didn’t see any caterpillars last year, but lo! we had one this year. He was there for a few days, and then we lost track of him. We assume he found a nice place to make a chrysalis, and has by now completed his metamorphosis into a MonarchDown the rabbit hole….

Last week I did one of my favorite things, on the last day of my August vacation: I went on a long photo walk in the city of Buffalo. I spent a chunk of that walk in downtown Buffalo proper, and one shot I took that I particularly like is this one, of two men on a crane lift working on something on one of the buildings. I had to look up the building, actually: Convention Towers, on the south end of the Buffalo Convention Center. At the end of the street, dominating the background of the photo, is theDown the rabbit hole….

A much hoped-for phenomenon has come to pass: there is a little friend making a major change in his life, and he’s doing it in the milkweed outside our front door. (OK, he hasn’t started his actual transition yet. But it’s coming!) On a photographic note, there’s no way I could have captured this just a couple of years ago. Photography continues to excite and energize me. Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….
