Boston Beauty!

Appears to have been taken from the top of Prudential Center.  Been there often. Beautiful Back Bay Boston, with a Charles River backdrop.

Sleepless In Seattle


A Chatham "Skiff"

What a nice shot of a 'skiff' in Chatham Harbor on Cape Cod. 
 
For two summers in the late 1960s, one of my first tasks in early June was to remove the small 'skiff', identical to the one above, from the boat house (one of six buildings on the estate of 4-star General Lucius Clay) and get it into the water on Oyster Bay in Chatham, Massachusetts, site of the grand estate on which I worked.  It is a long story, documented here.
 
A beautiful, tranquil scene, it is, one I likely had little appreciation for at ages 19 and 20.

A Taste of Country Gospel


A wonderful, 'down home' gospel piece by a star-studded country music cast on this, a cool, damp, cloudy Sunday afternoon, May of 2013.  I attended a nice graveside service today.  (I enjoy, and can be inspired by, a variety of music genres).  Hope you enjoy.

"The Boss" and That Little Light......"Let It Shine!"



Easily one of my very favorite songs.  What a great rendition by "The Boss".  If this won't take us into the weekend on a high note, nothing will!
