Ups and Downs of the Week

Weather – Summertime weather this weekend.

Front Yard – Looking good already

Ups and Downs of the Week

Formula One returns – A sure sign winter is over. First practice today. Qualifying tomorrow. Race on Sunday.

Bruins – Serious mid-season slump. Somehow they’re still in 2nd place.

Weather – We’re enjoying early summer weather. I just hope we don’t get into mid-summer weather too soon.

Spring Break – No students around next week. Should be a quiet week at work.

What is this flaky white stuff? I thought spring was here.

The sky was gray flannel overcast all day today until just before sunset. It cleared off to the west just in time to see the sun drop below the horizon.

Ups and Downs of the Week

Patriots – Another embarrassing Super Bowl loss at the hands of Eli Manning and the Giants.

Signs of Life – Formula One testing has started and tomorrow is Red Sox Truck Day, so spring is not that far off.

Winter Doldrums – It’s turned cold and with no snow, there’s nothing but brown to photograph. Not much to do other than stay inside and wait for warmer weather.

Airlines – Despite new rules which are suppose to show you your total cost up front, some airlines (ahem, American) are still hitting you with last second fees when you book a flight. They tell you the cost of your trip, but then you have to choose a seat. Want to sit in a window or aisle seat? That’ll be another $20 each way. Want to sit next to your wife? That means one of you has to buy one of the aforementioned aisle or window seats. What a crock. When will these morons get the message that people would rather see one ticket price that includes everything rather than playing this stupid game of paying for each little thing which should be included in the ticket price?

Very foggy and cold this morning. Lousy to drive in, but it made for interesting photography.

Ups and Downs of the Week

Weather – Into February and still getting spring-like weather. No complaints here.

Not really the depth of winter sort of images, but it is January, even if it feels like March.

Canon 135mm F2L Lens – Very nice.

Winter Weather – I suppose it was inevitable, but winter is here in a big way.

Three Day Weekend – Last holiday until Memorial Day.
