whale watching

I made it out on the water today for the much anticipated and talked about whale watch. In return for what i can only see as my patience and dilligence, the whales did this, over and over, and over again. thank you whales.

when the phone rings….

I was heading out to gloucester for a whale watch when I answered the phone. The whales had to reschedule their breaches and just like that I was heading to Lowell to shoot the Republicans and Democrats debating for the Massachusetts’s 5th Congressional district seat.

A great little zoo!

Capron Park Zoo

The capron park zoo was a nice little zoo. I’m sure it’s gonna look like I have a thing for sloths, truthfully, they make me VERY tired just watching them, but as of a month ago, I’d never seen one awake, and now I’ve seen one at each of the last 3 zoos I’ve visited. I’ll be back to frogs in no time, but, given that sloths sleep something like 29 hours a day, I was especially pleased with this snapshot.

Today is a ZOO day!

Wish me luck as I head off to Attelboro, Mass., to visit the Capron Park Zoo, the last needed visit on my list of accredited zoos in the state.
