  1. And Now a Day in Dominica

    February 6, 2023
    Not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, Dominica is a small Caribbean nation of 275 sq. miles with a population under 73,000. Dominica refers to itself as the Caribbean’s best kept secret. As tourism accounts for about 38% of the GDP, I would guess they wish it were not.…

  2. A Day In St. Lucia

    February 3, 2023
    For largest display, click on the image. After the past couple of near horrific years, 2023 is offering up reasons to celebrate in our family with 3 milestone birthdays, 30, 70, & 75 (I’m withholding names to protect the innocent) and a May wedding. I’ll accept a hearty “Mazel Tov”…

  3. North by Northwest

    January 4, 2023
    Elevated view for scale If you are of a certain age you will recognize this photos of Mt. Rushmore from the climax of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic “North by Northwest” staring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. If you are not of that certain age, seek out and rent this…

  4. MIM PHOENIX

    December 20, 2022
    I truly enjoy taking photographs in museums as regular readers can attest. Normally I just grab a few shots walking through the galleries, but when my brother described the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, he was so enthusiastic about it so I had to visit and turn it into a…

  5. Abstraction

    November 20, 2022
    My first private gallery show in October was an enjoyable experience, I did sell a few prints, always a nice thing, and response to the exhibition was positive. I watched as people viewed my work and I came away with a few impressions. The display of the prints and the…

  6. The Present Moment

    Alicia Eggert, Moment Alicia Eggert, Moment Washington D.C. is known for its variety of museums, from the Air & Space Museum, to the National Gallery of Art to the recently built National Museum of African American History and Culture.

  7. NYC

    August 11, 2022
    We are working our way back to D.C. with a stop in New York City. The drive from Boston to NYC took 1-1/2 hrs longer than it should have, as expected. It’s been some time since I was here, it took just a few minutes for me to remember how…

  8. Quebec City

    August 3, 2022
    Quebec City, my fourth and last stop in Canada before heading back to Washington, D.C. The weather forecasts for this road trip were not good, in fact, they were bleak, calling for a lot of rain and cloud cover. As it turned out, I have had but two marginal days.…

  9. Montreal Magnificent

    August 2, 2022
    Rue St. Paul After seven days, it was goodbye to Ottawa. To be candid, four days would have been enough. This is a road trip, I suppose I could have ventured further out of the city but I don’t know the region and at about $6.00 a gallon, I didn’t…

  10. Ottawa Outakes

    July 28, 2022
    I have a few photos that I like, that don’t have a common thread, so I’ll forego the narrative, call them outtakes.  Enjoy the pix folks, more words next time.  Cafe in Little Italy, Frank & Marilyn Carmelita’s obsession with Frank Home Depot can suck it. BBQ in Little Italy …
