“A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are for”
From a walk at Buffalo’s Canalside and the Military and Naval Park a couple weeks back, the USS Little Rock presented a particularly nice look. I was there early enough that the sun was reflecting off the water in between … Continue reading
And now, a dragonfly
Walking at Knox Farm yesterday, I arrived at the pond on the park grounds and noticed a bunch of dragonflies zipping around one end. These dragonflies were pretty striking-looking, with stripes on their wings. I stuck around a bit, trying … Continue reading

On the wing

I love art museums…not just for the art, but because watching people look at art is eternally fascinating to me. I suppose this isn’t “street photography”, but for me it’s street photography-adjacent.
At the Pierce-Arrow Museum
A while back we visited the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum in downtown Buffalo. We had somehow never managed to visit this attraction, but now that we have, I look forward to returning and I in fact think it may be … Continue reading

Doggos: an update
Hobbes (the greyhound) and Carla (the pittie) are both doing fine! Carla has been struggling with some arthritis in her joints, but last week she went to the vet for an injection of fluid into one of her troublesome joints, … Continue reading
