Yes, I am still hoping to offer a resurgence of something--more on this blog, or more travels to which I can add adventures. I lost that spirit a while ago and hope to rekindle it sooner rather than later . . . .
Interesting skyscapes

Roebling's Other Bridge
A walk across his other bridge and into New York for a great dinner with friend Tom and his newly betrothed.
Boston Public Library
A wonderfully cool and tranquil place to escape what became the heat and humidity of Boston. I got spoiled in Maine!
Ben Franklin, my hero
Yep, the guy himself. The statute outside the old Boston City Hall makes one feel like Ben is alive and checkin' out the visitors. What a guy!
Boston MA
The building from which the Declaration of Independence was first read, and the place outside of which I ate a great cannoli from a bakery in Little Italy!
Best Lobster Roll in Maine
It was advertised this way, and it was great--Red's in Wiscasset.
Wood Island Lighthouse
This picture is taken from inside the oil house where the propane was stored to heat the keeper's house.
The Oil House
Gulls were everywhere--a la The Birds.
See the Blue Sky?!

Candid Camera
One of the women I went to dinner with, Anna Dolidze, caught me off guard with this photo along the Portland coast.
Some Early Intruders--1620
Plymouth Rock--what either is or symbolizes the place at which the first Pilgrims landed. It is kept, like a weird zoo animal, in a cage into which visitors can peer.
A Replica of Thoreau's Cabin and Woodshed
Walden Pond
Henry David Thoreau
A large marker noted all the Thoreaus who lay buried in this plot, but H.D.Thoreau's headstone was touchingly simple: "HENRY"
A Craggy Coastline
Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse
The other lighthouse I saw today.
Portland Head Light
One of the two lighthouses I visited today with the ubiquitous wild roses in the foreground. They not only lend color but a wonderful scent to the air.
Looking Toward Wood Island Lighthouse
It's a bit hard to see--another rainy-ish day--but the Lighthouse is off in the distance as seen from the Audubon Sanctuary I went back to today. Wild roses were growing along the paths intertwined with honeysuckle and making for a beautiful and fragrant hike.
Biddeford Pool
Biddeford Pool is the site of the first permanent settlement in Maine (1616), called Winter Harbor at that time. This picture seemed "winterish" though taken in June.
Rhododendrons Everywhere
A picture I especially like as it reminds me of my sons, in this case, Gregory (the sign reads "Gregory Hall")
Biddeford Cairn
Along the breakwater near NEH on a path I'm taking for a morning run
