The weather has been mild this year, and sadly no snow yet and I don’t expect us to get any this Winter. My garden has been neglected during the winter months and it is time to clear out the dead leaves and start planting an early Spring vegetables. The Rosemary bush that I planted last spring has gotten a lot bigger. The first sign of Spring in my front yard, and I have seen many Spring flowers sprouting and blooming around the neighborhood. Ornamental cabbage The broccoli is doing well and I’m thinking …

You don’t need to live in New Orleans to enjoy the local festivities of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday!  There is something so colorful and fun about the New Orleans’ King Cake that I have to make it every year just to feel like I’m celebrating right along with the folks in New Orleans.  Fat Tuesday is right around the corner wrapping up the the Mardi Gras or Carnival Season that is so well celebrated in New Orleans.  The season begins on January 6, also known as “King’s Day” honoring the meeting of the …

My wife and I just returned from a very relaxing cruise on the Norwegian Jewel. We left the cold, gloomy February weather in New York City, traveled through beautiful and eerie sea smoke, had lunch with my in-laws in Cocoa Beach, took in the perfect weather of the Bahamas, and experienced the incredible maritime exhibition at the Atlantis Resort in Nassau. Like our last cruise in May, I was armed with my Leica M9, but added my new iPhone 4S into the arsenal. To make it even better, I was armed with the …

Sunday was one of those serendipitous days when I had the wonderful opportunity to see a master at work.  Robert Gary Parkes gave an exclusive glass blowing demonstration to members of my camera club.  He was articulate in explaining a little of the history of glass blowing, talked about various kinds of glass, and showed us how he combined glass to create stunning colours. We were all happily snapping away trying to catch his every move. I experimented with a variety of aperture and shutter settings and …

Reblogged from Dispatches from the Potomac:

“I swear I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life, but that…was…awesome.” I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Really, Ed? Starting a blog post about the ancient art of falconry with a quote from Tommy Boy?” Well sometimes inspiration comes from unexpected places. And besides, I want to be able to capture all the web traffic from people who might Google the terms “Chris Farley” and “Rabbit Hawking” together. When I learned the Virginia Falconers Association was having a meet not far from where I …

If you go to the the Lötschental Valley’s Carnival parade in Wilder, Switzerland, be ready for Tschäggättä to surprise and scare you.  Tschäggättä roam the streets for days before and after the parades creating mischief and scaring unsuspecting victims. Witches sold the Lötschentaler Chiächlini, the traditional fatty, sugary Carnival/Fat Tuesday/Fat Thursday treat.  Although I couldn’t find any mention of Lötschentaler Chiächlini, I found this recipe for Swiss Carnival …

Reblogged from Matt on Not-WordPress:

Since it was leaked last night, thought would share this prototype with everybody. The laptop on the right is a 13″ Macbook Air that’s been modified to have a glowing WordPress logo instead of the standard Apple. I’m really happy with how it turned out, though I need to start adding stickers again.

Reblogged from Gwirrel's Garden:

There isn’t much in bloom this time round compared to December and January thanks to the snow killing off anything which was still hanging on in there during our otherwise mild winter. Instead I’ll have to focus on the new growth and with each day there’s always an improvement – I’m actually shocked at the difference in just two days after the snow melted. Of course you all won’t see the differences as I’m not posting the photos from two days ago I’ve also noticed that a lot of the young …
